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
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. 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?

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!  We hope that 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!

Goose is the sweetest puppy - really just wants to be a lap dog. Lower work ethic but starting to get into tug, so who knows, he might just enjoy the free rides from his human siblings!  He has good food motivation, seems to become more interested in toys and overall lower prey drive. He's confident and smart. He'd be an ideal starter Mal for a family! He still needs training and guidance but likely won't need a hardcore job. He's more of a support staff. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Please note that unaltered dogs, under 18 months old, include a $300 refundable deposit in addition to adoption fee!

This girl is amazing! She has not met a human or dog she doesn't like. She has a fun personality - she can switch between complete Velcro dog to being completely independent! She is smart and is learning basic obedience really quickly, showing she is eager to work and please. She will get a great foundation with her foster parent who is a professional trainer! What she's been learning: Place/stay, heeling with lure, nose touch, retrieve, down, away, learning to go in the lake and she's mastered recall! She went to training with her foster and recalled to strangers, was environmentally sound and just had a blast learning stuff! So far she is doing well with big and small dogs but is showing some prey drive so we recommend no cats in the home. She can be exuberant and is super playful. She also takes corrections well. She's been learning to enjoy toys and had fun picking her very own stuffy at Tractor Supply..and she is learning how fun tug toys and balls are!  She has medium food drive and works well for treats! This girl is gaining confidence and loves to go on adventures! She loves room to roam and a lap to sit on! She enjoys furry friends and would love to have a friend of her own. We can imagine her having a ton of fun going to the lake and on hikes or runs!She will make a wonderful companion and adventure buddy for someone! There is some sport potential in her if someone is experienced enough to develop that!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

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. 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?

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!  We hope that 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!

Goose is the sweetest puppy - really just wants to be a lap dog. Lower work ethic but starting to get into tug, so who knows, he might just enjoy the free rides from his human siblings!  He has good food motivation, seems to become more interested in toys and overall lower prey drive. He's confident and smart. He'd be an ideal starter Mal for a family! He still needs training and guidance but likely won't need a hardcore job. He's more of a support staff. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Please note that unaltered dogs, under 18 months old, include a $300 refundable deposit in addition to adoption fee!

This girl is amazing! She has not met a human or dog she doesn't like. She has a fun personality - she can switch between complete Velcro dog to being completely independent! She is smart and is learning basic obedience really quickly, showing she is eager to work and please. She will get a great foundation with her foster parent who is a professional trainer! What she's been learning: Place/stay, heeling with lure, nose touch, retrieve, down, away, learning to go in the lake and she's mastered recall! She went to training with her foster and recalled to strangers, was environmentally sound and just had a blast learning stuff! So far she is doing well with big and small dogs but is showing some prey drive so we recommend no cats in the home. She can be exuberant and is super playful. She also takes corrections well. She's been learning to enjoy toys and had fun picking her very own stuffy at Tractor Supply..and she is learning how fun tug toys and balls are!  She has medium food drive and works well for treats! This girl is gaining confidence and loves to go on adventures! She loves room to roam and a lap to sit on! She enjoys furry friends and would love to have a friend of her own. We can imagine her having a ton of fun going to the lake and on hikes or runs!She will make a wonderful companion and adventure buddy for someone! There is some sport potential in her if someone is experienced enough to develop that!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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?

Story
One of the very first things I noticed about Stormy Belle is how beautiful she is. I mean she has one of the most majestic looking black coats with a fluffy gray undercoat I've ever seen and has the prettiest golden brown eyes that you get lost in every time. Not only is striking beautiful but Stormy Belle is the definition of a soul dog. you know, the type of dog that comes into your life that feels less like a pet a more like a piece of your heart walking around on four legs. If you know, then you know exactly what were are talking about and if you don't, then sign that dotted line and bring Stormy home! Watch her video and you'll fall in love just like we did: https://youtu.be/MMyGq2yAKlE?si=CfX52e9xmqGiPWFD Stormy Belle is a believed to be a Shepherd mix approximately 5.5 years old and around 64lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Stormy can be a little shy at first when meeting new people and but trust me when I say it does not take long for her to turn into your little shadow and lover girl. One of the ways to her heart is through a tennis ball, treats, or belly rubs (when she's ready). The second you give her a tennis ball, it's game over and her heart has been captured. You'll see her instantly turn into a puppy, catching balls in the air like she's airbud and she just instantly lights up. Once she's comfortable she is such a goofy and silly girl. She will let you give her belly rubs for days. Stormy would do best in a home with a fenced backyard in the suburbs rather than in the city with all the hustle and bustle. She loves to entertain herself inside and outside, but outside is her fave. Her initial shyness can also be seen when she is in new places she has never been before, but she warms up quickly. The thing about Stormy though is that she wants to explore, she wants to do all these things, she just takes things a little more cautiously and let me tell you, she is loving learning about it all! Stormy is also dog friendly and has done well with all of the dogs we have introduced her to, she takes her time warming up to them. She has been around dogs her size and even dogs so small they can fit into your purse. She is a gentle lady around them all, especially the little guys. There is something about the little ones that she seems to relate to the most and feels most comfortable with in a home. Stormy isn't very playful with other dogs either, she is more of the roamer type and just likes to hangout and enjoy the fresh air and company, or play with her toys. If you don't have other dogs, that's fine too! She doesn't need the company of another dog to help her feel comfortable or to satisfy her energy needs. She also would love the extra attention. She nose nudges you when she wants pets or if she isn't done getting them, she has no shame (I don't blame her)! Stormy loves treats and loves to learn to new things. When you have those two things combined with how smart Stormy is, you find yourself working with a gal that is easy to train! She already knows how to sit, the down position, seems to understand the "touch" command, and already has a pretty good recall already. She walks well on a leash and is crate trained and potty trained. From what we have seen so far, Stormy also has great house manners and never really gets into things she shouldn't be, except for the trash occasionally (old habits die hard, amirite?), but she responds to correction immediately. She would actually be a great companion if you're someone who works from home because she is quiet and she isn't the type that is going to be constantly bugging you for attention. Not to say that she doesn't love attention because she does, she just isn't a needy gal in those regards. Stormy is a gentle gal who has spent plenty of time around younger children, even as young as 4 years old, and does great with them. She is respectful around young children and loves when they give her treats or play ball with her! She the best at catching balls in the air as we all know. She also allowed a 7 year old to lead her around a party of people in a front yard on a leash like a pro! She is just that gentle and go with the flow. While she’s good-natured and tolerant of the occasional squeal or quick movements from younger children, we believe she would prefer the company of older kids. Older children, around 10 and up are more in tune with her boundaries, they understand when she needs space and can respect her need for a little calm time. Her preference for older children also reflects her love for a calmer, more laidback home environment. We are willing to test Stormy Belle with anything you need 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?

Story
Looking for a loyal companion who will truly cherish every moment with you? Meet Monarch, a sensitive soul with a heart of gold who is ready to find her forever throne! Monarch is the definition of a slow burn sweetheart who makes every milestone feel like a total victory. Once you’ve earned her trust, she transforms into a total cuddle bug who loves to snuggle up on the couch and keep her favorite person company. 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! Like all our rescues, her breed is a wonderful mystery, but her lovability is 100% guaranteed! Monarch has been thriving in her foster home and has proven to be a total professional when it comes to kennel life! She is quiet and patient in her crate, making her a wonderful office mate or roommate. She’s also a seasoned traveler who handles car rides like a pro. 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?
