Belgian Malinois puppies and dogs in Bellingham, Washington

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.

This is Jade, a seven-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?

Fenyx is a total love bug with his human and just wants to please! He is the best weighted blanket, the best dancer and hugger! He has the sweetest face that you can't resist! He wants to just be near you - total Velcro dog - he does the best contact heel, gives the best kisses and hugs!He is super smart but such a wiggle butt when learning, so eager, such a puppy with high energy - it's adorable and hilarious! He learns quickly and it's really fun to watch him grow and thrive! What he knows: Name House manners Potty trained Sit, Down, Place, Crate, Stay, Bed, Here, Stand, Front, Middle, Leave it, Roo and Sit Pretty [last two are fun little standing on hind leg tricks] - all in progress vs prooved. He has high food drive! He's being trained in German mostly but once dogs learn the behavior it's not that hard to change the language. Heeling on both sides and Loose Leash Walking Traveling downs Touch command [in progress] Recall / Off leash work - doing well but at this time he can only go where he won't run into stranger dogs, however he can recall from prey unless he's 100% committed.   Ecollar conditioned Thresholds Crate trained What he is actively working on Calm behavior and reducing impulsivity and reactivity [ask us about this!] Settling Trusting new handlers Independence Muzzle Training Who he is good with and Where he needs more work Dogs: He is great with his foster sisters! With proper, slow introductions, he CAN integrate into a home with dogs. He is not really a playmate though.  Stranger Dogs: He is reactive to dogs he doesn't know. He has been working on this through board and train and ongoing training. He has been part of group training to work on being ok around dogs and has done very well. He will need continued work and exposure.  People: He LOVES them but he cannot be trusted when he is overstimulated! When he is too triggered he can panic bite [never punctured skin]. He has been working on this in Board and Train and his foster has continued the work. He has been able to be handled by others and has NEVER touched his foster mom, which tells us that once he trusts, he trusts and loves forever! He is a dog that his human has to read well, manage his arousal level while also continuing to work on it via exposure.  Ideal Home Dedicated and Experienced home: He would love someone who is excited about training sessions, sets good boundaries and can build confidence. Active home: We hope his forever human likes to take him running or go on adventures in the forest vs the city! He is not a party boy, family dog or Golden Retriever-type dog. He is more like a soldier who needs instructions and wants to work or he becomes dysregualated! He really just needs someone who is willing to put in the time! Less humans in the home would be ideal but he never had an issue with foster's partner He would thrive in a place with property to run and explore. He requires more work to be able to frequent busy trails No children or cats, small dogs or prey animals in the home  His foster experiences him as the sweetest, most affectionate and cuddly dog there is BUT he just doesn't know what to do when he's overwhelmed. He can be that for you once he fully trust.  He is currently doing Tracking with his foster mom and excepping - the trainers say he has amazing focus!! He might also enjoy scent work, NASDA or agility.  He will need a human who really gets the Malinois mind in an insecure body! He needs someone who understands a rescue Malinois! He needs someone who is willing to take on a challenge and run with it because it will make a difference in this dog's life! He needs a lot of boundaries, structure, confidence building and proper introduction to the world. What you get in return is everlasting love and loyalty! He will do anything you ask, trust you and be your die hard partner in crime Cute Anectodes from Foster Mom "Fenyx thinks he is a lap dog and will find a way to make it work""He loves being touched and will seek out my hand, just putting his muzzle in it, holding it there gently [sometimes less gentle]""Sometimes, he just nuzzles into my chest, lets out a big sigh and just looks at peace being so close and comforted, it just melts my heart""He at times looks like a deer hopping through tall grass which is the cutest thing in a 65# boy" Fenyx has so much LOVE to give and is just waiting for his furever match!

Echo has a lot of PERSONALITY, is super FUN and just the CUTEST little dude out there! He is spunky, fun and affectionate. He is curious and adventurous. He's a true Maligator puppy, using his teefers for everything. He is respectful of dogs who set good boundaries. He likes to tackle the foster siblings but despite his demand barks, he is a submissive guy and even the 20# puppy has him on his back!  Something he is great at is climbing into laps, being a trip hazard and giving the best kisses & tooth hugs. He truly is the most loving dog!! He is learning sit, down, stay, touch and eye contact! He loves to come when called and he's working on crating. He is already heeling quite nicely when he is focused.  He has not met any human he hasn't liked! He is such a sweet guy who wants to say hi to everyone! He's exuberant and is learning to keep his paws on the ground and his teefers to himself but he's catching on fast! He is environmentally stable and loves to go to events! He's a perfect pup to mold and teach! He is showing good toy drive. He enjoys cheese and will work for it. He will give things a try but the smarty pants he is, he will try to find an easier way to solve the problem.   He would be a great first time Mal mix for someone who is dedicated to training, building confidence and fun activities! He has the mouthiness and sassiness of a Mal but has a good off switch!AND He's Portable! The Husky in him is very light, so nothing to be afraid of LOL He is hoping to find a fun human, who takes him on adventures, trips and engages his brain! He might enjoy agility, he already likes going over the agility ramp and follows the other dogs through the tunnel!! He would be an ideal running or mountain biking buddy! He would love playmates who can handle his exuberance and give him good guidance! We would suggest no cats b/c he has prey drive. We recommend older children as he does use his mouth a lot but would be fine with dog-savvy children 8 years and up.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

Who's ready for their next best friend?! Ember is you're gal. She's here and she's down for pretty much whatever. She is low energy and low drive, which would make her a perfect choice for a home that's looking for an active companion, or an easy dog to do agility or tricks on the weekend. She likes to learn and play with a toy, but if you make it to hard she'll just find something else to do. She is appropriately cautious of strangers and strange dogs, but recovers quickly. She has been making friends with all the children in her foster neighborhood! She has a nice off switch, and while not the most velcro dog, is likely to settle somewhere nearby and snooze.    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

This is Jade, a seven-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?

Fenyx is a total love bug with his human and just wants to please! He is the best weighted blanket, the best dancer and hugger! He has the sweetest face that you can't resist! He wants to just be near you - total Velcro dog - he does the best contact heel, gives the best kisses and hugs!He is super smart but such a wiggle butt when learning, so eager, such a puppy with high energy - it's adorable and hilarious! He learns quickly and it's really fun to watch him grow and thrive! What he knows: Name House manners Potty trained Sit, Down, Place, Crate, Stay, Bed, Here, Stand, Front, Middle, Leave it, Roo and Sit Pretty [last two are fun little standing on hind leg tricks] - all in progress vs prooved. He has high food drive! He's being trained in German mostly but once dogs learn the behavior it's not that hard to change the language. Heeling on both sides and Loose Leash Walking Traveling downs Touch command [in progress] Recall / Off leash work - doing well but at this time he can only go where he won't run into stranger dogs, however he can recall from prey unless he's 100% committed.   Ecollar conditioned Thresholds Crate trained What he is actively working on Calm behavior and reducing impulsivity and reactivity [ask us about this!] Settling Trusting new handlers Independence Muzzle Training Who he is good with and Where he needs more work Dogs: He is great with his foster sisters! With proper, slow introductions, he CAN integrate into a home with dogs. He is not really a playmate though.  Stranger Dogs: He is reactive to dogs he doesn't know. He has been working on this through board and train and ongoing training. He has been part of group training to work on being ok around dogs and has done very well. He will need continued work and exposure.  People: He LOVES them but he cannot be trusted when he is overstimulated! When he is too triggered he can panic bite [never punctured skin]. He has been working on this in Board and Train and his foster has continued the work. He has been able to be handled by others and has NEVER touched his foster mom, which tells us that once he trusts, he trusts and loves forever! He is a dog that his human has to read well, manage his arousal level while also continuing to work on it via exposure.  Ideal Home Dedicated and Experienced home: He would love someone who is excited about training sessions, sets good boundaries and can build confidence. Active home: We hope his forever human likes to take him running or go on adventures in the forest vs the city! He is not a party boy, family dog or Golden Retriever-type dog. He is more like a soldier who needs instructions and wants to work or he becomes dysregualated! He really just needs someone who is willing to put in the time! Less humans in the home would be ideal but he never had an issue with foster's partner He would thrive in a place with property to run and explore. He requires more work to be able to frequent busy trails No children or cats, small dogs or prey animals in the home  His foster experiences him as the sweetest, most affectionate and cuddly dog there is BUT he just doesn't know what to do when he's overwhelmed. He can be that for you once he fully trust.  He is currently doing Tracking with his foster mom and excepping - the trainers say he has amazing focus!! He might also enjoy scent work, NASDA or agility.  He will need a human who really gets the Malinois mind in an insecure body! He needs someone who understands a rescue Malinois! He needs someone who is willing to take on a challenge and run with it because it will make a difference in this dog's life! He needs a lot of boundaries, structure, confidence building and proper introduction to the world. What you get in return is everlasting love and loyalty! He will do anything you ask, trust you and be your die hard partner in crime Cute Anectodes from Foster Mom "Fenyx thinks he is a lap dog and will find a way to make it work""He loves being touched and will seek out my hand, just putting his muzzle in it, holding it there gently [sometimes less gentle]""Sometimes, he just nuzzles into my chest, lets out a big sigh and just looks at peace being so close and comforted, it just melts my heart""He at times looks like a deer hopping through tall grass which is the cutest thing in a 65# boy" Fenyx has so much LOVE to give and is just waiting for his furever match!

Echo has a lot of PERSONALITY, is super FUN and just the CUTEST little dude out there! He is spunky, fun and affectionate. He is curious and adventurous. He's a true Maligator puppy, using his teefers for everything. He is respectful of dogs who set good boundaries. He likes to tackle the foster siblings but despite his demand barks, he is a submissive guy and even the 20# puppy has him on his back!  Something he is great at is climbing into laps, being a trip hazard and giving the best kisses & tooth hugs. He truly is the most loving dog!! He is learning sit, down, stay, touch and eye contact! He loves to come when called and he's working on crating. He is already heeling quite nicely when he is focused.  He has not met any human he hasn't liked! He is such a sweet guy who wants to say hi to everyone! He's exuberant and is learning to keep his paws on the ground and his teefers to himself but he's catching on fast! He is environmentally stable and loves to go to events! He's a perfect pup to mold and teach! He is showing good toy drive. He enjoys cheese and will work for it. He will give things a try but the smarty pants he is, he will try to find an easier way to solve the problem.   He would be a great first time Mal mix for someone who is dedicated to training, building confidence and fun activities! He has the mouthiness and sassiness of a Mal but has a good off switch!AND He's Portable! The Husky in him is very light, so nothing to be afraid of LOL He is hoping to find a fun human, who takes him on adventures, trips and engages his brain! He might enjoy agility, he already likes going over the agility ramp and follows the other dogs through the tunnel!! He would be an ideal running or mountain biking buddy! He would love playmates who can handle his exuberance and give him good guidance! We would suggest no cats b/c he has prey drive. We recommend older children as he does use his mouth a lot but would be fine with dog-savvy children 8 years and up.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

Who's ready for their next best friend?! Ember is you're gal. She's here and she's down for pretty much whatever. She is low energy and low drive, which would make her a perfect choice for a home that's looking for an active companion, or an easy dog to do agility or tricks on the weekend. She likes to learn and play with a toy, but if you make it to hard she'll just find something else to do. She is appropriately cautious of strangers and strange dogs, but recovers quickly. She has been making friends with all the children in her foster neighborhood! She has a nice off switch, and while not the most velcro dog, is likely to settle somewhere nearby and snooze.    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

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?

If joy had ears, they’d look a lot like Brooklyn Cherry. This happy girl brings the kind of upbeat, feel-good energy that makes everyone around her smile without even trying. She’s always in a good mood, always ready for fun, and those expressive ears just add to her already irresistible charm. Beyond her adorable looks, Brooklyn Cherry is incredibly smart, dog friendly, loves her toys, and strikes that perfect balance between playful adventure buddy and snuggly companion. Watch her video and fall in love with her amazing personality: https://youtu.be/U_TBkOb-19M?si=Nl3KaCKo5UAzVATy Brooklyn Cherry is believed to be a Shepherd mix approximately 1-2 years old and currently weighs 60 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Just based off looks, there are sprinkles of so many amazing breeds that it's hard for us to narrow it down without doing a DNA test (which we would love to see if her future adopters do one). We can see Rhodesian Ridgeback with her coloring and frame, along with German Shepherd with those ears, and with legs like that, she may even have Great Dane sprinkled in there too. We may never know, but regardless of what her DNA says, she is the perfect blend in our eyes. Brooklyn is dog friendly and gets along well with other dogs who enjoy and can match her play style. She’s the “roughhousing in the yard” kind of girl -playful and physical, and so much fun to watch. When dogs are confident and enjoy that same type of play, she thrives. Brooklyn has made some wonderful dog friends who she plays beautifully with. You can see her big goofy grin and those paws in the air and know she is having a blast! Brooklyn would do best in a home with a moderately playful dog that likes to play and one that also likes to hangout and relax. If you don't have other dogs, that's okay too! She would be great as a solo dog as she does not need the constant play to keep her entertained or the companionship to help her open up and be comfortable. Brooklyn is a happy social butterfly all on her own and she would love to be the center of your world. Her basics are already solid too! Brooklyn is fully potty and crate trained, and a quick learner. She already knows some basic commands, like sit and has a pretty decent recall already. Brooklyn is fairly easy to walk on a leash and will be a great adventure buddy! She does pull occasionally out of excitement or if she wants to go sniff something but is easy to correct. She aims to please and loves to learn new things too. She knows how to sit, shake, down, and can learn so much more. This girl really can do it all. With the right training and guidance, there’s nothing you can throw her way she wouldn’t be able to do. She would be the perfect adventure companion to take with you on walks, hikes, and could even make a fantastic running partner. Yes, Brooklyn can be a super fun, active, adventurous girly but she also has a calm side as well. She seems to already have some level of understanding that play time is an outside luxury. Of course, she will play indoors with a toy or tennis ball if you want her to but she is really good about finding a spot on the couch with her favorite toy and is perfectly content doing her own thing. Brooklyn's dream home would have a big backyard where she can stretch those legs, smell all the smells, and a place where she can find that perfect spot in the grass to bake in the sun. She would do best with a semi-active family that wants to take their dog with them on hikes, maybe even looking for a running partner, and also wanting a snuggly companion after a full day of adventures. She can certainly do both after she's had some form of mental stimulation. We are willing to test Brooklyn Cherry 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?

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.
