Story
Jade is the kind of dog who makes you realize just how much heart can fit into one very wiggly, very beautiful pup. She’s a young Belgian Malinois / German Shepherd mix, and she carries all the brilliance, drive, and devotion that comes with those working-breed roots wrapped up in one incredibly affectionate girl. At her core, Jade is a happy, social, people-loving dog who thrives on connection. She adores being close to her humans, leans in for affection, and will happily soak up every bit of attention you’re willing to give. Once she’s comfortable, her sweet, playful side really shines—she enjoys cuddles just as much as she enjoys a good game of fetch, and she has that endearing “all in” enthusiasm for everything she does. Watch how cute she is in her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/oSRaJttKOh4?si=DRQVrTWWotdlkd_c Jade is currently fostered in a lively home with six other dogs and two cats, and she fits right into the pack. She absolutely loves other animals and draws a lot of her confidence from being around them. In fact, she would do best in a home with another friendly, playful dog who can help guide her, keep her company, and be her playmate. She truly lights up when she has a canine friend nearby—it helps her feel grounded and happy. With cats, Jade is respectful and gentle. She’s curious and interested in interacting, so she would do best with a dog-savvy cat who can confidently set boundaries. When they do, she listens and adjusts well. She just really wants to be part of the group and share space and energy with everyone around her. Because of her breed mix, Jade is very intelligent and very driven. She’s a “doer” who thrives when she has structure, enrichment, and things to think about. Puzzle toys, training sessions, games of fetch, and daily physical activity are all things that make her feel fulfilled and balanced. Without outlets for her energy and brain, she can become frustrated, so she’s looking for a home that understands and appreciates a working dog’s needs. Jade would do best in a home with a yard where she can safely stretch her legs, run, play, and burn off some of that natural energy throughout the day. While walks and outings are wonderful, having a secure outdoor space will really help set her up for success and give her the freedom she needs to thrive. On leash, Jade is still polishing her manners. She gets very excited about seeing other dogs and may bark or pull in her eagerness to say hello and play. This isn’t from a place of reactivity or aggression—she’s simply overflowing with enthusiasm and social energy. With consistent, positive training and someone who enjoys working with dogs, she will absolutely continue to improve. In new environments, Jade can feel a bit unsure at first. She may be anxious while she settles in and looks to other animals for reassurance. Once she adjusts, her confidence grows, and her true personality—playful, loving, and loyal—comes forward beautifully. She just needs a little patience at the beginning to show how amazing she really is. Jade is also believed to be a wonderful candidate for a family environment, including homes with children, as she has such a gentle, affectionate, and social nature. Of course more testing can always be done to ensure the perfect match for everyone involved. She is not the kind of dog who fits into a low-key, “walk around the block and chill” lifestyle. She’s a companion for someone who wants a partner—someone who enjoys training, activity, adventure, and building a strong bond with their dog. In the right home, she’s going to be incredibly devoted. She bonds deeply, learns quickly, and wants nothing more than to be included in life. She is stunning, affectionate, eager, and full of potential. With structure, exercise, companionship, and love, Jade will absolutely blossom into the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog who feels like she was meant to be by your side. Adopt her now!

Story
Meet Powder Powder is a gentle, loving puppy with a heart full of affection just waiting to be shared. This sweet boy absolutely adores being close to his people whether he’s snuggled up in your arms or covering you in happy little kisses, he thrives on love and connection. He enjoys the company of other dogs and is currently in a foster home with an older pup who patiently lets him bounce around and play to his heart’s content. Powder has that classic puppy energy, balanced with a soft, sensitive side. Because his early life wasn’t the easiest, Powder can be a bit shy when meeting new people. But give him a little time and kindness, and you’ll see his true personality shine through—a loyal, affectionate, and playful companion who just wants to feel safe and loved. Powder is truly a special little boy, ready to find a forever home where he can continue to grow, play, and be cherished the way he deserves.

Story
Meet Poppy the blooming beauty who is ready to plant some serious joy in your life! If you’re looking for a partner in crime for every trail and trek, this vibrant girl is ready to grow right alongside you. Poppy is a total firecracker with a heart of gold and a personality that sparkles! She is the definition of "life of the party," greeting every single person she meets like a long lost best friend. Don't let her athletic prowess fool you Poppy is a "Gentle Giant" through and through. Whether she’s giving out enthusiastic hugs or showing off her lightning fast learning skills, Poppy brings an infectious, super fun energy to every room she enters. She’s the kind of dog who makes every day feel like a sunny afternoon in the park. Believe us her moves are something you don’t want to miss, See her zoomies in action! https://youtu.be/Yzc8F6Ou5MA What makes Poppy truly special is her incredible bond with her humans; she is a total velcro dog who just wants to be where the action is! While she has the drive of an adventurer, she is also a world class lounger who loves to hang out on the couch after a day of play. She loves her "private mini room!" Poppy is crate trained and views her space as a cozy sanctuary to relax. She’s been living and playing with smaller dogs (around 17 lbs) and has shown she’s a social butterfly who loves to lick her foster siblings' faces every morning to say "hello." She’s a smart cookie who picks up on house rules in a heartbeat! Poppy knows exactly how to scale down her play to be gentle with small dogs, and she’s a master of the "play bow" to make sure everyone knows she’s a friend, not a foe. She is a dream on a walk and a proud member of the loose leash club. No pulling here just a girl who loves to stroll and take in the sights. No accidents here! She is a pro at keeping her space clean and follows a household routine perfectly. Incredibly smart, perfectly gentle, and always ready for the next ride. She is a loving explorer at heart, always ready to navigate a new hiking trail or scout out the best local coffee shop patio with you by her side. We suspect Poppy is a Belgian Malinois mix, which means she’s got the brains and the beauty! Weighing in at a sleek 45 pounds, she is that perfect medium size big enough to keep up on a run, but compact enough to easily hop in the car for a weekend getaway. Of course, with any rescue, her breed is a bit of a mystery, but her intelligence and stunning coat are 100% pure bred Good Girl. When it comes to other dogs, Poppy is a social superstar! She loves a good game of chase and is a play bow professional. She isn't just a pretty face (though that coat and those perked up ears speak for themselves!). She’s a vocal girl, but not for no reason she just loves to chat and invite her friends to join the party. Great with friends, but is just as happy to be your one and only! She would be happiest in a home with a medium energy dog who can keep up with her fun loving wrestling matches but also knows when it’s time to take a collective nap. Whether she’s sharing her favorite toys, wrestling on the couch, or inviting a buddy to play with one of her signature "are you ready to play" chirps, she is a polite and playful companion who would make an amazing addition to a multi dog household. Poppy thinks she’s the star of the show, so she’s looking for a feline free home! She’d much rather spend her time focusing on her human friends or playing "tag" with her canine buddies than worrying about what a kitty is up to. To keep everyone happy and wagging, she’s sticking to a cat free lifestyle where she can be her best, bouncy self. The ideal home for Poppy is one that matches her zest for life! Because she’s a brilliant working breed mix, she’d love an active adopter who enjoys training or outdoor adventures. She would adore a house with a yard to zoom in, but she could also be a rockstar apartment dog for a active person who treats the city as their playground. Something cute about her? She’s a talker with her paws she’ll invite you to play with the most adorable little dances! In Short: Poppy is Perfection! She is a brilliant, affectionate, and adventurous soul who is just waiting for the right person to lead the way. She’s also a bit of a home decorator when she’s feeling playful on the couch, she loves to rearrange the pillows to get her setup just right. It’s just one of the many quirky ways she brings joy and laughter to her foster home every day. She’s got the brains of a scholar and the heart of a puppy, making her the ultimate companion for a life lived out loud.

Story
Gravy is about a year old. He is smart, handsome, energetic, outgoing, and athletic. He is ready to be your best adventure buddy! He loves walks, playing with toys, and other dogs. He is still young so he is working on some of his manners but he will no doubt be an amazing boy given the opportunity to thrive in a home. He weighs roughly 60 pounds. He might be a little energetic for young children, but kids 10 and up should be just fine. We don't think he will do well in a home with cats. https://www.vermontenglishbulldogrescue.com/non-bulldog-application/
