Story
Got her at 15 months. People didn’t have enough time for her. Her birthday is 12-22-2019. She would like a home where she gets lots of love and attention. She can be as laid back as you want but be ready to go when you are. She gets along ok with outside cats, but likes to aggravate house cats. She is up to date on vaccines and heart worm shot until March 2024. She has no special needs. She is house broke and crate trained. Knows commands. Likes to play. Plays well with other dogs. Is very non-alpha. Likes to go for car rides. She loves attention. The food she is on now is not because of her. My other dog needs it so to make it easier for me, I put her on it too instead of having several bags of dog food.

Story
**ATTENTION MALINOIS PEOPLE**Meet Dior! Dior is an 11-month-old Belgian Malinois mix looking for a family that can fit her needs. Due to Dior`s breed mixture, we are being selective with who we choose for her home. A Belgian Malinois (even a mix) is an extremely high-drive dog who NEEDS some type of job to do or activity to participate in. They are generally used for police and military work because they are so full of energy and have such a strong working drive. So, keeping this in mind, Dior is looking for:• A very active family (distance running, dog sports, long hikes, biking, etc)• Has a dog trainer lined up• A capable family for her breed mixture• No little kidsDior is a very smart girl. She wants to work, she wants to please her people, and she wants to get out of here ASAP! Her adoption fee is $95 or $115 if you`d like to heartworm test her before she leaves. She is spayed, microchipped, rabies vaccinated, up-to-date on distemper and bordetella, and up-to-date on her flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. She`s got all the bells and whistles; now, she just needs a place to call home!If you are interested in Dior, please give us a call at +1 (618) 235-0585 ext. 2 or message us on Facebook. Ready to apply? You can come in person or apply online: https://form.jotform.com/ashleyjett/SCCAAC_Adoption_Application
