Durango

Belgian Malinois Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Roanoke, VA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This handsome Belgian Shepherd is the perfect mix of fun energy and total couch-potato sweetness. He’s smart, affectionate, and absolutely loves being close to his person—whether that’s curling up on the bed, snuggling on the couch, or leaning in for his signature “hug… and melt into a puddle” trick (yes, it’s as cute as it sounds!). Big energy + big heart — He’s always ready for a walk, run, or play session (fetch is is favorite!) but once he’s had his fun, he becomes a warm, floppy, cuddle-puddle. Super smart — He knows a few tricks and is food motivated making him easier to train. Big lover — He adores attention and bonds deeply with “his” person. Champion snuggler — If you want a dog who actually wants to be close, he’s your guy. He thrives as the only pet. He gets jealous and wants all the love for himself, so he’s looking for a home where he can be your one and only. In return, he’ll give you endless affection, loyalty, and companionship. If you’ve been searching for a dog who will make you laugh, keep you active, and melt into your arms every day—Durango might just be your perfect match.
