Story
Lucy is a stunning 2-year-old Belgian Malinois with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. She’s incredibly people-focused and forms strong, loyal bonds with her person — the kind of dog who doesn’t just live with you, she’s *your girl*. If you’re looking for a best friend who wants to be by your side, Lucy is ready to clock in full-time. She thrives on connection, attention, and having “her person” all to herself. Lucy would do best as the only pet, where she doesn’t have to share her space or her human. In the right home, this lets her relax and truly shine. She’s happiest when her world is simple, structured, and centered around her people. Lucy has a playful, quirky side too — she loves chasing dragonflies, exploring with her nose, and being part of whatever you’re doing. She has done some scent work and would likely enjoy enrichment activities or dog sports that let her use her brain. A Malinois lover will recognize her potential: she’s smart, driven, and just waiting for guidance from someone who understands working breeds. She is kennel trained, does well overnight, and has shown good house manners. Lucy is most successful when kenneled in a **secure, heavy-duty crate (not a standard wire kennel)** to help her feel safe and settled. With routine and consistency, she adjusts nicely. Car rides are safest in a crate as well, where she can relax and ride securely. Lucy will do best with an experienced owner who appreciates working breeds and is willing to provide structure, training, and continued guidance as she transitions into a new home. In return, she offers deep loyalty, affection, and that once-in-a-lifetime bond Malinois people know and love. She adores attention, cuddles with her trusted human, and truly wants to belong. Lucy isn’t for everyone — but for **her** person, she’ll be everything.January 27, 2026, 12:45 am

Story
Ellie is a very sweet mixed dog. We believe she is part German Shepard. She was a rescue; we found her 2.5 years ago living in a graveyard and adopted her. From what we know, she was dumped near the graveyard by her apparent previous owner. She is very attached to our other dog (GSD), but does not get along with other dogs. Behavioral issues: minor nipping (only occasional & what we believe to be in play), crying every time our babies cry, escaping from her kennel/jumping fences, aggression towards other dogs (it seems out of protection of the other dog), and digging in the yard. Very skittish and timid. Positive traits include: very sweet and cuddly, loves being pet and sitting in your lap, responds to basic commands, not a big barker, pretty good on a leash (minimal pulling), generally is good with guests Ellie needs a quiet, child-free home where she can be prioritized. She has had issues from her previous owner (was likely abused) that we do not have the resources to fix.

Story
I bought shep when he was a puppy just over 4 years ago from german shepherd dog breeders. He is AKC registered and is a pure full blooded german shepherd. He will be 5 on May 2nd. Shep here is everything you would want in owning a German shepherd breed dog. I can't think of anything he likes more than fetching a ball or frisbee. He is house trained. He absolutely will not have an accident in the home unless he has no other choice. He will let you know when hes got to go. The same if he were to need to vomit. He was raised along side my daughter. He's good with kids and other dogs. Cats, not so much. Although, I believe other dogs are intimidated by him. He has never shown aggression to another dog for as long as ive had him unless another dog were to show aggression to him first. He is also still easily trainable. He only wants to work and follow orders. He is very easy to teach new commands.
