Belgian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Bellingham, Washington

About Capone Belgian Shepherd Malinois Capone is believed to be approximately 3 years old. Capone came into the shelter after being abandoned in a dog park. He had several medical issues that needed attention. His coat was in awful condition, and his tail had no hair. Capone received the love and attention he deserved and needed, and has since made a full recovery. Capone is intelligent and figures things out quickly. He knows some basic obedience, but will need to start training with his new family immediately. Capone has some unique quirks that will require attention. He will need an owner who will be a strong leader for him. He will need to have firm boundaries established by someone who can be strict but also very loving. Potential adopters are strongly advised to do their research on the breed and/or have previously owned a Malinois. They are a very active breed that will require a great deal of exercise, training, and mental stimulation. Capone is looking for a person who will love him as much as he would love them. Capone has so much love to offer and absolutely loves attention. He is a real goofy guy once you get to know him. Capone would rather be petted, loved and talked to than play! He is all about getting attention and will go great lengths to get it. Capone is the definition of unconditional love. Capone is in need of a home with no cats or small dogs. He seems to be selective as to how he reacts to other dogs. He will also need a secure yard with a 6-foot fence. Capone is required to have an in-home visit prior to being adopted. This great pup weighs 77 lb. Considerations In need of a 6-foot fenced-in yard

Meet Ellie — the Loyal Brainiac Shepherd With a Heart of Gold! If you’ve ever dreamed of having your very own shadow, personal security detail, emotional support supervisor, and bathroom-monitoring specialist… allow us to introduce Ellie — a five-year-old German Shepherd with the loyalty level set firmly at stage-five clinger (in the cutest way possible). Ellie is a certified smarty-pants. She’s incredibly food-motivated (like… will work for snacks), which makes training her an absolute dream. Pair those shepherd genes with a brain that is always online, and you get a dog who basically reads your mind. She’s the girl who looks at you with those wise, soft shepherd eyes like she already knows the plan for the day — and probably already made a better one. Watch Ellie’s video to see what she’s all about! https://youtu.be/-v0bv_4rvvQ?si=HHE1mizQtTPRy4YW Ellie is a mellow, respectful, go-with-the-flow kind of dog around other pups. She met a big confident male? No problem. A bouncy excited female who thought Ellie was a trampoline? Still no problem. A smaller dog being wildly rude and all up in her space? Ellie said, “Ma’am… please,” and went on with her day. Even when another dog put way too much pressure on her with overly persistent sniffing, Ellie handled it like a total champ. She’s not a high-energy, wrestle-mania kind of gal — she’s more of a “let’s vibe together, then maybe we can be goofy later” type. In her foster home she enjoys hanging out and playing in the backyard once she warms up. She’s perfectly happy living with other dogs who respect her pace, but she’d also be just as happy being someone’s one-and-only. Ellie is excellent on leash (she’s sensitive to leash pressure, which makes guiding her super easy), and she’d do wonderfully in a house or an apartment thanks to her calm, steady energy. Ellie lives with a young child in her foster home and does great. She just needs dog-savvy kiddos who understand boundaries — like when she’s in the mood for pets and when she’s like, “Actually, no thank you, tiny human.” There’s no strict age requirement — it’s all about respectful kids who know how to love a dog the right way. Ellie was way too interested in the resident cat during her test, so she will need a cat-free home. Ellie warms up slowly, but once she’s in… she’s ALL in. This girl loves her foster family with her whole heart. She’s gentle, goofy in the most wholesome way, and genuinely wants nothing more than a person or family to adore forever. If you want: ✨ a loyal shadow ✨ a smart, easy-to-train partner ✨ a calm, mellow, soulful shepherd ✨ a dog who will stand by you through everything …then Ellie is your girl.

Take a second to sit back & relax, meet Molly Mae! Molly went on an exciting road trip with her foster brother last year in hopes to find her forever family. Although she hasn’t found them just yet, we know they are out there somewhere! On her trip, Molly traveled over 3,600 miles in a car. Woah!! Not only is she totally interesting and ready to share all of her world traveling stories with you, but she’s most of all looking for love. The first thing you will notice about this girl is how intelligent she is. Molly is also nothing short of an impressive performance dog with her sit, down, and touch skills. She also has amazing recall, and has mastered “heel” and “leave it” when she passes by other dogs on her daily walks. She loves being brushed too. One of our volunteers loves her so much, he comes multiple times a week to sit with her and brush her. She sits perfectly for him for 45 minutes straight, never leaving his side even when new doggies walk by. It melted my heart, and it surely will melt yours too. Molly is a big fan of her daily routine, and she hopes you will help her create a new one in her new home. The girl knows what she likes! Molly also loves a good game of fetch— she will bring the ball back and drop it! Calling all shepherd lovers, because this girls personality will need someone familiar with this breed! Is that you? Meet Molly girl here! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yR7D5PYFxhU&feature=youtu.be Molly has so many good qualities to her. She is great in her crate, and best of all she is quiet in there too! She is calm and relaxed when you take her out. When you want her to go back in she just walks right in! She is very food motivated and loves a good treat (don’t we all!). She even let a 4 year old train her! She sat for him, and waited patiently for him to share some of his yummy cheese stick. Molly is not the jumping around ball of energy type, she is respectful of her surroundings and the people in it! Little tiny kids can be a little overwhelming with all of the bouncing and kid friendly chaos, so we believe Molly would do better with kids 7 years and up. Or children that will be able to understand her boundaries. Family coming over to visit with younger kids should not be a problem for her, this is just something she prefers! Mollys interest in treats would make for a super fun training session! Molly is the perfect example of a dog that is just happy to be with you, no matter where you are. Molly really likes to bond with her people. She is so loyal and loving, when her forever family comes to get her I have no doubt it will be the happiest day of her life! She would be happy to stay home and put around the backyard too! Speaking of homes and yards, this girl needs one! Having a structured area for her to play and mosey around in would be her dream. Molly does not need another dog in the home, but if she were to have one she prefers to be with more submissive, medium energy males that will participate in her similar play style. Molly can be a little rowdy with her best friend sometimes, but it’s all fun and games. Molly would be perfectly content being your one and only too! No kitty cats for this queen, they are just way too fun to chase and bark at. Her ideal family would be those that love some good quality time. We could totally see her hanging out at the backyard barbecue hoping you’ll slip her a little something under the table. When this girl falls for you, she falls hard. If only we could all be so lucky to have a best friend like her. Are you ready to add the perfect loyal companion to your life? Apply for her today! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/680a6339fe589ad4230a2f7b Questions? Ask: KatiaK@threelittlepittiesrescue.org We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey! You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews: https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success. Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress! Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet. The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!

With her sparkling eyes, soft coat, and those big, expressive ears that perk right up, Clementine is a total heart-stealer. Clementine is the type of dog that will make you laugh with her silly toy-tossing antics, melt into you with her sweet snuggles, and bring joy to every corner of your home. If you've been dreaming of a dog who is both a best friend for adventures and a snuggle buddy for quiet evenings, Clementine is the girl you've been waiting for. Watch Clementine’s personality shine in her video! https://youtu.be/bZHHC4BEfyA?feature=shared At around 5 years old, this Australian Kelpie/ German Shepherd mix (no promises!) has the perfect balance of energy playfulness, and cuddles. Her coat is so unique with the sweetest markings on her face and body. And of course, my personal favorite, the eyebrows!! Clementine's personality is as warm as her name suggests. She's confident, affectionate, and wonderfully goofy. She loves to flop over for belly rubs, wiggle around with happy kicks in the air, and curl up into your lap when invited. She loves her humans and thrives on being included in family life, whether that's playing fetch in the yard, going for a walk, or cuddling up on the couch after a long day! Clementine loves a walk during the quiet morning or evening hours when there’s not so many people out and about. She craves zen and peacefulness on her explorations out of the house, it’s her sacred time! She would absolutely love a serene hike, or even walking around a nature preserve. That’s the life! She is food-motivated, toy-loving, and extremely smart, making her super trainable! Clementine is lucky enough to be in a foster home where she has proven to be a loving and adaptable companion. She lives with two dogs, small and big, whom she romps around and plays with. She responds super well to doggies who may not want to play with her as much, and she's super eager to please. Clementine believes kitty cats are totally down for a game of chase (which we all know they are not. lol!) so it’s best to say a feline free home is the home for her. She also has human foster siblings! Ages 12, 9, and 5. She loves playing in the yard with them. Around the house, she is extremely well-mannered, house-trained, and crate-trained. She sleeps soundly at night in her crate, and occasionally even snuggles up into bed with her foster family. When it comes to meeting other dogs, Clementine is a social butterfly. She loves her canine friends and greets them with confidence and excitement. She has wonderful manners when sharing treats and food, patiently waiting her turn. On leash, she can get excited at the sight of other dogs, but it is purely from her excitement to greet them! She heels great, and responds super well to leash directions! With consistency, Clementine will blossom into a beautifully well-mannered walking companion. Clementine's ideal home would be one where she can have plenty of space to stretch her legs, preferably a yard! She has been dreaming of a yard of her own to romp around in for soooo long. She would love playtime and soaking up all the affection she craves. Clementine would be perfectly happy as your one-and-only, getting all the attention, but she would also thrive in a home with a doggy sibling to play with! More than anything, Clementine wants to be included in the everyday life of her family, whether that's serene adventures outside, fetch sessions, or simply snuggling for a movie night! Clementine is truly special because of her ability to be both lively and calm, playful and cuddly, and silly and sweet. She will brighten your mornings with wagging tails and happy hops, keep you laughing during the day, and curl up close at night to remind you how loved you are. Her foster family says it best: “Whoever ends up with her is going to get a great dog. She will love them so much.” Clementine is ready to share her love, loyalty, and sunshine with a forever family.
