Story
This is Jade, an nine-month-old Malinois mix (our best guess!) who somehow managed to get all the ears. Seriously, they're magnificent. Pair those iconic satellite dishes with her striking black mask, athletic little frame, and constantly happy expression, and you've got one ridiculously adorable girl. At just under 50 pounds, she's a petite powerhouse with enough personality to fill the whole house. Jade is the type of dog who wakes up every morning thinking, "Okay...what adventure are we going on today?" If there's a toy nearby, she's already halfway through convincing you it's time for tug. If there's a ball, she's ready. If there's a stick? Even better. She lives for playtime and has never met a toy she didn't think deserved her full attention. Watch Jade's video here! https://youtu.be/B9oKa-yFYxU?si=mCD3vn4mpsyel_kE She's both treat motivated and toy motivated, which means training with Jade is less of a chore and more like a game show where everyone wins. She absolutely loves using her brain, figuring things out, and earning her prize. She's the kind of dog who wants to be involved in everything you're doing—even if she's not entirely sure what you're doing. If you've been dreaming about owning a Belgian Malinois, Jade is exactly the kind of girl who will steal your heart. She's goofy, brilliant, endlessly loyal, and happiest when she has a job, an adventure, or a reason to show off just how clever she is. She's looking for someone who doesn't just want a dog—they've been waiting for a Mal. Someone who's excited about training, enrichment, weekend hikes, backyard games, and all the wonderfully chaotic fun that comes with sharing life with a working breed. But don't let all that athlete energy fool you—Jade has an incredibly sweet, gentle side, too. She's living in a loving foster home with other large dogs and is doing wonderfully. She adores her canine buddies, but she also thinks she's approximately 12 pounds and belongs curled up directly in your lap. Personal space? Never heard of it. After she's done zooming around the yard, she's more than happy to climb into your lap for snuggles and remind you that even working dogs can be world-class cuddle bugs. Jade is wonderfully confident with people and greets new friends like she's been waiting for them to show up all day. She's gentle, affectionate, and loves soaking up attention from her humans. We think she'd likely do very well with respectful kiddos who are excited to have an adventurous best friend to grow up with. Jade also loves kids. Her favorite kid buddy is an 8 year old boy. She loves to share the couch and toys with him. She is gentle and not mouthy and seemingly just fits right into the routine of snuggle and play time with him. Watch her here with Cash: https://youtube.com/shorts/z2tZtkn-S1o?feature=share She also loves having dog friends—as long as they're ready to party! Jade is a rough-and-rowdy wrestling champion who does best with playful dogs her own size that enjoy a good game of chase, tug, and zoomies. After everyone gets the sillies out, she's perfectly happy taking a break with the rest of the crew. Because of her enthusiastic play style and strong prey drive, she isn't the right fit for homes with small dogs or cats. One thing you'll quickly learn about Jade? This girl has springs. Her foster says she's an impressive fence jumper if left outside by herself, so she'd love a family that enjoys spending time outside with her instead of sending her out solo. She's also still polishing up her leash manners because every dog she sees looks like a potential new best friend, and sometimes her excitement gets the better of her. Jade could happily share her home with another playful large dog, or she could be your one-and-only sidekick—as long as she's getting the exercise, enrichment, and quality time she craves. She isn't looking for a couch potato lifestyle. She's looking for someone who says, "Let's go!" and actually means it. If your idea of the perfect companion is equal parts athlete, class clown, cuddle bug, and loyal best friend, Jade is ready to turn every ordinary day into an adventure. She'll make you laugh with her goofy antics, impress you with her brilliant mind, and then promptly climb into your lap like she's the tiniest puppy you've ever seen. All she needs now is her forever family. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Zeus Your Right-Hand Man has been studying full-time for the role of someone’s best friend, and his foster has given him a pretty impressive education. Sit, down, shake, stay, wait politely for dinner- this handsome boy comes with quite a résumé. His favorite qualification, though, is the way he loves his person. Once you’re in his circle, you have a devoted companion who pays attention, wants to be close, and thinks doing things together is a very good use of the day. Go watch Zeus on YouTube for a look at those handsome shepherd features and a few of the skills behind his résumé, then come right back to read more about your potential right-hand man: https://youtu.be/nBgfT7kdJlY Zeus is estimated to be around 11 months old, and our best guess is a Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix. His breed and birthday are guesses, but his foster’s affection for him is well established. This boy is adored at home, where he has wonderful house manners and a growing collection of skills. He’s still young, with plenty to learn, and he’s already shown how much he can accomplish with someone who enjoys his drive and knows how to harness it. His foster has put time and love into helping him become a lovely daily companion. Zeus goes on regular walks, has great leash skills, and enjoys coming along in the car. A little breeze through his fur with the windows down is especially appreciated. Between his good manners and enthusiasm for time together, he makes a strong case for including the dog in your plans. With new people, Zeus likes a little time to get acquainted. Give him a comfortable introduction and the chance to approach at his own pace, and let the relationship grow from there. His foster knows a deeply affectionate, attentive boy who forms a strong connection with his person. He has also done well around visiting family, including children as young as seven. A family who appreciates thoughtful introductions, loves the devotion of a shepherd and can let him settle in would be a wonderful fit for forever. Zeus currently shares his foster home with an older husky, so he has experience living alongside another dog. His play is enthusiastic, physical, and occasionally in need of a halftime whistle. He would be happy having his people to himself, and a home with another dog could also be considered with a thoughtful match. A confident, social female who enjoys an active playmate may be a good fit, with people who supervise the fun and help Zeus practice taking breaks. He’s still learning that a playmate pausing for a breath does not necessarily mean round two is in order. An active home in a suburban or country setting would suit him well, with regular walks, room for play, and opportunities to use that clever brain. Someone who enjoys training could have a lot of fun with Zeus. He’s receptive, connected to his handler, and has already built a wonderful foundation. Keep teaching him, make it rewarding, and give him something to feel proud of. There’s something especially sweet about a young dog who has so much to offer and so much growing still ahead of him. Zeus is ready for someone who will enjoy both—the good manners he’s already learned and the relationship they’ll build together aong the way. He’ll bring the ears, the loyalty, and a very willing paw for a handshake. Ready to make the first move to welcome Zeus home?

Story
Welcome Betty to the Ninja Pack!   Betty is a sweet and intense one-ish year old Belgian Malinois who found herself locked up in a high kill shelter after her and her mom helped themselves to an all-you-can-eat chicken buffet as strays. Betty is a little bit fearful and unsure, it is clear that she missed out on a lot of early socialization experiences and exposures. Piece by piece, she is growing more confident and learning that she can overcome obstacles. Her foster dad is working on her exposure and basic commands and reports that Betty is an extremely sweet and devoted girl who would love to have a family that understands her intensity and sees that as a bonus, not a bug. Betty is still decompressing and showing who she is, but she already exhibits a strong prey drive and could be a good sport prospect. She is extremely atheltic and agile, we think she would enjoy sports like agility or FastCat. Betty is not a good fit for an active pet home, she needs more structured outlets than a once a month camping trip or weekly hike could provide (although she would happily enjoy those adventures too!) . Betty does well with other dogs and new humans, but she does require slow, thoughtful intros so a breed-savvy home is a must.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

Amber aka Skittles is the dog you have been waiting for! She is smart, sassy, confident, drivey, curious, loving, great with people and dogs! She is the total package who you can mold into whatever you could dream of!  She's a fast learner and has mastered crate and potty training, is doing great with obedience training and is learning to be neutral around dogs and calm in the home. She has great food and toy drive which will make training a blast!  She is still a Malinois so be prepared for some prey drive, teeth fencing sessions and parkour!  She has phenomenal hunt drive so it would be amazing if her forever human can put her to work - this could be serious or for fun as long as it stimulates her brain! If you are into scent work, detection, agility or even bite sports, she is your girl! She would enjoy adventures and road trips as she is great in the car and loves to be outdoors. She loves having playmates so a furry sibling would be great! She is untested with kids but we recommend older kids. No cats at this point due to her prey drive. Will you be her human? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

Say hello to handsome Harrison!    Harrison is a fun loving guy with a bundle of adolescent energy! He gets along well with the resident dog in his foster home and enjoys having a four-legged friend. Harrison is working on mastering Sit, Down, Stay and Leash walking. He is also working on impulse control to help him cope with all that teenage energy coursing through his veins!    Harrison would do well with a dedicated handler who can provide the structure and discipline necessary for him to thrive. This guy will run roughshod over you if you let him do as he pleases! For example, he will definitely chew some furniture if you leave him unsupervised!    Underneath all that teenage spunk is a sweet guy who just wants to be loved and needs a family to call his own.

Story
Zeus Your Right-Hand Man has been studying full-time for the role of someone’s best friend, and his foster has given him a pretty impressive education. Sit, down, shake, stay, wait politely for dinner- this handsome boy comes with quite a résumé. His favorite qualification, though, is the way he loves his person. Once you’re in his circle, you have a devoted companion who pays attention, wants to be close, and thinks doing things together is a very good use of the day. Go watch Zeus on YouTube for a look at those handsome shepherd features and a few of the skills behind his résumé, then come right back to read more about your potential right-hand man: https://youtu.be/nBgfT7kdJlY Zeus is estimated to be around 11 months old, and our best guess is a Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix. His breed and birthday are guesses, but his foster’s affection for him is well established. This boy is adored at home, where he has wonderful house manners and a growing collection of skills. He’s still young, with plenty to learn, and he’s already shown how much he can accomplish with someone who enjoys his drive and knows how to harness it. His foster has put time and love into helping him become a lovely daily companion. Zeus goes on regular walks, has great leash skills, and enjoys coming along in the car. A little breeze through his fur with the windows down is especially appreciated. Between his good manners and enthusiasm for time together, he makes a strong case for including the dog in your plans. With new people, Zeus likes a little time to get acquainted. Give him a comfortable introduction and the chance to approach at his own pace, and let the relationship grow from there. His foster knows a deeply affectionate, attentive boy who forms a strong connection with his person. He has also done well around visiting family, including children as young as seven. A family who appreciates thoughtful introductions, loves the devotion of a shepherd and can let him settle in would be a wonderful fit for forever. Zeus currently shares his foster home with an older husky, so he has experience living alongside another dog. His play is enthusiastic, physical, and occasionally in need of a halftime whistle. He would be happy having his people to himself, and a home with another dog could also be considered with a thoughtful match. A confident, social female who enjoys an active playmate may be a good fit, with people who supervise the fun and help Zeus practice taking breaks. He’s still learning that a playmate pausing for a breath does not necessarily mean round two is in order. An active home in a suburban or country setting would suit him well, with regular walks, room for play, and opportunities to use that clever brain. Someone who enjoys training could have a lot of fun with Zeus. He’s receptive, connected to his handler, and has already built a wonderful foundation. Keep teaching him, make it rewarding, and give him something to feel proud of. There’s something especially sweet about a young dog who has so much to offer and so much growing still ahead of him. Zeus is ready for someone who will enjoy both—the good manners he’s already learned and the relationship they’ll build together aong the way. He’ll bring the ears, the loyalty, and a very willing paw for a handshake. Ready to make the first move to welcome Zeus home?

Story
Welcome Betty to the Ninja Pack!   Betty is a sweet and intense one-ish year old Belgian Malinois who found herself locked up in a high kill shelter after her and her mom helped themselves to an all-you-can-eat chicken buffet as strays. Betty is a little bit fearful and unsure, it is clear that she missed out on a lot of early socialization experiences and exposures. Piece by piece, she is growing more confident and learning that she can overcome obstacles. Her foster dad is working on her exposure and basic commands and reports that Betty is an extremely sweet and devoted girl who would love to have a family that understands her intensity and sees that as a bonus, not a bug. Betty is still decompressing and showing who she is, but she already exhibits a strong prey drive and could be a good sport prospect. She is extremely atheltic and agile, we think she would enjoy sports like agility or FastCat. Betty is not a good fit for an active pet home, she needs more structured outlets than a once a month camping trip or weekly hike could provide (although she would happily enjoy those adventures too!) . Betty does well with other dogs and new humans, but she does require slow, thoughtful intros so a breed-savvy home is a must.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

Amber aka Skittles is the dog you have been waiting for! She is smart, sassy, confident, drivey, curious, loving, great with people and dogs! She is the total package who you can mold into whatever you could dream of!  She's a fast learner and has mastered crate and potty training, is doing great with obedience training and is learning to be neutral around dogs and calm in the home. She has great food and toy drive which will make training a blast!  She is still a Malinois so be prepared for some prey drive, teeth fencing sessions and parkour!  She has phenomenal hunt drive so it would be amazing if her forever human can put her to work - this could be serious or for fun as long as it stimulates her brain! If you are into scent work, detection, agility or even bite sports, she is your girl! She would enjoy adventures and road trips as she is great in the car and loves to be outdoors. She loves having playmates so a furry sibling would be great! She is untested with kids but we recommend older kids. No cats at this point due to her prey drive. Will you be her human? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

Story
Pauly D is the kind of dog that walks into a room like he already knows he’s about to become everyone’s favorite. He’s got this larger-than-life personality that instantly pulls people in, equal parts charming, goofy, affectionate, and wildly entertaining. One minute he’s making you laugh with his playful antics and dramatic expressions, the next he’s leaning into you for affection like you’re the most important person in the world. He has that rare combination of confident social butterfly energy mixed with genuinely sweet, loyal companionship, and it makes him ridiculously easy to love. There’s just something about Pauly D that makes life feel more fun. Maybe it’s the happy-go-lucky attitude, the constant enthusiasm for being included in literally anything, or the way he carries himself like the cool guy at the party while still being a total cuddle bug underneath it all. Whatever it is, this boy has the kind of feel-good personality that people remember long after meeting him. Watch his video and fall in love with his fun loving personality: https://youtu.be/orh3OHuMY1s?si=MtJkFO4Bolwi7vyi Pauly D is believed to be a German Shepherd mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 56 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Pauly D is a total people guy. The kind of dog that sees a human and immediately assumes you’re there to admire him, hype him up, and hand over affection and honestly, he’s usually right. He happily strolls up to say hello, leans into pets like he’s known you forever, and has absolutely no issue making himself comfortable right beside you for cuddles. Butt scratches? Elite. Couch time? Sign him up immediately. Hugs, attention, being involved in literally anything you’re doing? That’s his love language. Pauly D has this social, outgoing personality that makes him the type of dog who would thrive in a home that likes having friends over because in his mind, strangers are just future fans. Recently, Pauly D went on a day of adventures that included a café outing, a trip to Pet Supplies Plus, a bath, and plenty of opportunities to show us exactly who he is out in public. The verdict? Pauly D is genuinely a lover boy with some really impressive manners. At the café there were adults, children, other dogs, food, and plenty of activity happening around him. Pauly D was happy to simply relax at the table and enjoy being included. He paid very little attention to the dogs around him and mostly ignored the people passing by as well. In fact, one of our favorite moments happened when we invited him into a lap while someone was eating a muffin. If you've ever owned a dog, you know that's a pretty good test of manners. Pauly D passed with flying colors. He didn't try to steal a bite, beg for food, or sneak a taste. He simply sat there smiling, perfectly content being close to his person. The adventures continued at Pet Supplies Plus where Pauly D once again showed us what a nice dog he is to take out in public. He was curious about all the sights, smells, toys, treats, and people around him, but he never tried pulling toward dogs or strangers. He politely sniffed items as we walked by without trying to grab anything for himself. Even bath time, which he seemed a little unsure about initially, ended up being a success because of how much he trusted the people handling him. By the end, he was all smiles, especially when it came time to be dried off with a towel. Apparently being wrapped up and fussed over is one of his favorite things. Pauly D is also an excellent passenger in the car. He loves being close to his people and would happily choose the seat right next to you every time, but he settles nicely and simply enjoys being part of whatever adventure the day has in store. More than anything, this outing reminded us that while Pauly D absolutely loves fun, his favorite thing in the world is simply being included. And when it comes to fun? Pauly D is READY. Toys are a huge hit with him and he fully commits to playtime. Stuffies, balls, tug toys, chew toys… if it looks entertaining, he’s in. He’ll happily play fetch, bounce around the yard showing off, or entertain himself with goofy zoomies when he gets excited. He has that fun-loving, upbeat energy that keeps life entertaining, but he’s also got a great off switch and can absolutely appreciate a solid couch crash after he’s gotten his playtime in. Pauly D is dog friendly and has been in multiple playgroups. He brings big VIP-section energy into a playgroup and walks around like everybody already knows who he is. It’s honestly hilarious. Pauly D is social, confident, playful, and very much the guy that wants to make the rounds, stir up some fun, and keep the party going. Some of his best dog friends are playful, confident females that enjoy chase games, don’t mind a little rowdy “bro” energy, and know how to match his fun without taking things too seriously. He especially thrives with goofy, easygoing girls that can play hard for a bit and then naturally settle down for a break after. In a home, Pauly D would likely do best paired with a fun-loving, socially savvy female dog that enjoys an active, playful dynamic and can appreciate his outgoing personality. He would also do great as you're one-and-only because honestly… Pauly D already carries himself like the main character. He’s the type of dog that naturally becomes the center of attention everywhere he goes and he would absolutely love soaking up all the love, adventures, compliments, and couch time for himself. As far as kitties go, Pauly D would do best in a kitty-free home. Want to know what would make Pauly D truly living-his-best-life levels of happy? A home with a nice backyard to show off in, humans who enjoy being active and involved with him, and people who appreciate a dog with personality for days. Pauly D would thrive with a confident adopter that enjoys walks, adventures, continued training, and having a dog that actually wants to be part of everything you’re doing. He’s not the type that wants to sit quietly in the background while life happens around him. He wants IN on the fun. A yard for zoomies, a couch for dramatic lounging sessions, and humans who love affection, laughter, and a little daily chaos in the best way would basically be his dream setup. Pauly D has that loyal sidekick personality where he naturally wants to be near his people, involved in the action, and soaking up attention whenever possible. The more included he is in your day-to-day life, the happier this boy will be. And honestly? The more time you have to spoil him and tell him how handsome he is, the more he’ll absolutely eat it up. Pauly D has been around children as young as 5 and was respectful and appropriate with them, but he did seem a little unsure of the younger kid energy. Because of that, we think Pauly D would thrive most in a home with kids around 8 and up that can better understand his space, read his cues, and enjoy his playful, outgoing personality without overwhelming him. He’s a social, fun-loving guy that wants to be included in family life, but he also appreciates a little more predictability and calmness than the average tiny-child tornado tends to bring. Older kids that want a goofy sidekick for walks, hanging out in the yard, movie nights, and everyday adventures would likely be right up Pauly D’s alley. We are willing to test Pauly D with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Monarch is the definition of a slow burn sweetheart who makes every milestone feel like a total victory.

She’s got a brilliant mind, a playful spirit, and just enough sass to keep you smiling every single day! Lights, Camera, Action! You won't want to miss Monarch’s alert ears and the way she beats the way she master treat puzzles! https://youtu.be/UG4lp2ush0E Monarch is what we like to call a heart dog. While she might be a little reserved when meeting new faces, once she decides you’re her person, she is all in! They say the best things in life take a little extra time to prep, and Monarch is exactly like a rack of perfectly slow cooked ribs. She might start off a little firm and reserved when meeting new faces, but give her some time to warm up, and she becomes the most tender, 'melt in your heart' companion you’ve ever met. Once she’s reached that sweet spot, she’s all in! This golden coated girl turns into a total velcro dog, sticking by your side whether you’re crushing emails in the office or unwinding on the couch. She’s joyful, tender, and worth every second of the wait. We think Monarch is a gorgeous Shepherd and Malinois mix! Tipping the scales at a perfect 40 pounds, she is in that "just right" size category. She’s a medium sized beauty who is big enough for real deal hugs, but compact enough that she won't take up the whole couch during your movie marathons!

She is a smart cookie who is incredibly food motivated, making her an absolute dream for anyone who enjoys the bonding experience of training and teaching new tricks! When it comes to other pups, Monarch is a quality over quantity kind of girl! Monarch loves to show her fun side. When she really shines she loves to drop into a play bow to invite a friend to romp around! She’s a huge fan of a good game of chase in the yard, making her a perfect match for a home with a medium to low energy dog who can show her the ropes. Monarch's best friend right now is Whitney, a young female pittie mix, that loves to play too. Curious about how Monarch feels about feline friends? Monarch knows exactly what she likes, and when it comes to her household, she prefers to keep things "canines and humans only." Monarch's foster takes her everywhere. She will eagerly jump into the car and cant wait to go places. Once she settled in at their farm she was allowed off leash. She stays close by and comes when called. Monarch has met kids at the fosters farm. They had a large family gathering and she was great roaming and existing with everyone. She does keep her space with the littles and preferred the big kids (over 13). In short, Monarch is a brilliant, affectionate, and loyal companion who just needs a patient hand to help her blossom. She’s a once in a lifetime dog who will repay your patience with a lifetime of devoted cuddles and quiet companionship. Ready to be the person Monarch has been waiting for?

Story
The personality. The face. The size. The EARS! Everything about Kaiser Cruz from head to toe, inside out, is literal perfection. Shepherd lovers better hurry up because he won't be available for long. He is snuggly, dog friendly, loves the outdoors, smart, and great with kids! The list can quite literally go on and on and on. Biggest flex this boy has are those amazing ears. Full of personality and full of cuteness. Watch his video and fall in love with this sweet boy: https://youtu.be/ajZy2JOkRrw?si=SuyuCzdNV99fOIl2 Kaiser Cruz is believed to be a Shepherd mix approximately 8 years old and currently weighs 64 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue it's always a mystery, and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Kaiser is the perfect combination of affection while also being independent. He's not overly needy with his love nor does he ever over do it. If you're someone that works from home, he'll be a great work from home buddy because he's not going to be constantly begging you for attention or getting into things he shouldn't be (he has wonderful house manners I might add). He's the type that will come up to you when the time is right for a little ear/nose scratch almost as if he knew you needed a 5 min break from work. As for the rest of the time, he's a window watcher and loves looking out windows or he'll be playing with a toy. While Kaiser waits for his forever family, he is being spoiled by his foster family and they absolutely adore him and rave about him. He is currently fostered in a home with kids ages 4 and 8 years old, and Kaiser has been nothing but sweet perfection around the kids in his foster home. They have the best time playing together, snuggling, and he loves being a part of a family dynamic. Kaiser is very tolerant with all of the kids in the home and just loves them to pieces. He has no issues when the kids are playing with his toys, running around, and is frequently found giving them the gentlest kisses. It's the sweetest thing! If you have kids and are looking for a bestie for your kiddos, Kaiser is definitely your guy. Not only is Kaiser great with kids, he is also very dog friendly and has done great with all the dogs we have introduced him to and is also fostered in a home with an 8 month old playful pittie mix. Kaiser has been around dogs all with different personalities and has done great with every single one. Kaiser is wonderful about meeting new dogs and will either play with them or will go off and do his own thing. That's what is so great about him, the way he is able to adapt to the dogs around him. He can run around, have a good time and he also just as happy going off and doing his own thing while the other dogs are being wild. Kaiser is more about exploring and doing his own thing rather than playing with other dogs. Though when Kaiser does play, he plays like a total shepherd. If you know shepherds or have ever owned one, then you know they love mouthy air play, will give nose boops where they see fit LOL, and use their paws like they are professional boxers at times all while keeping things lighthearted and fun. Shepherd play is definitely entertaining to say the least. Kaiser would love to have a dog sibling in the home, but if you don't have one, that's okay too. He does not need the company of another dog to satisfy his energy needs or to help him open up. Kaiser would love to be in a home with a backyard where he can sunbathe anytime he wants, roll in the grass, and explore all the fun smells. He would make a great companion while you garden and relax on the patio enjoying the fresh air. He’ll enjoy going on neighborhood walks, mini adventures and then will happily lay next to you for cozy time. Kaiser is such a good boy, a 10/10! Now, he just needs a family to call his own. We are willing to test Kaiser Cruz with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
