If so, Akiro might be the perfect addition to your family. Akiro is a sweet, shy boy who has faced more than his share of challenges. This gentle soul needs a special kind of adopter—someone who can provide the time and care required to help him overcome his fears and become the confident, loving companion he’s meant to be. Akiro will thrive best with someone experienced in handling anxious dogs. He needs a patient and understanding approach as he builds trust at his own pace. A calm and steady home environment will help him feel secure, and a predictable routine will make him more comfortable and confident. Positive reinforcement training is crucial for helping Akiro work through his fears. With gentle guidance, he can learn to approach new experiences with greater ease. Building trust with Akiro is a gradual process, so a dedicated owner who is committed to spending quality time with him and introducing him to new things slowly is essential. Once Akiro feels safe, he will reveal his deep affection and loyalty. His gentle nature will shine through as he begins to trust you. He enjoys quiet moments and will thrive in a serene home environment where he can relax and feel at ease. Important Note: Commitment Required Due to Akiro’s sensitive nature and the dedication needed for his development, we are not accepting returns for him. Akiro’s progress is delicate, and it’s essential that he finds a stable, committed home where he can continue his journey without interruption. Akiro needs an owner who is ready to invest in his training and socialization. Moving between homes can disrupt his progress, lead to separation anxiety, and hinder his development. If you’re prepared to offer Akiro a stable and loving environment and are committed to his ongoing growth, we invite you to consider adopting him. Your dedication will play a crucial role in helping Akiro become the confident and happy companion he’s meant to be. __________________________________If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application.Apply to adopt at: www.nerdypaws.org Nerdy Paws Animal Rescue is a foster based rescue in Springfield, VA. We do not have a shelter, all of our animals are in foster homes. We require all potential adopters to fill out an application before setting up a meeting with the animal and their foster family.

Story
Meet Channing! Channing is a vibrant and playful pup just over 4 years old, looking for a loving forever home. Adopted from our rescue four years ago, Channing has grown into an energetic companion who loves to play catch and run around the yard. He would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can enjoy plenty of playtime and outdoor adventures. Channing is the perfect match for a family that enjoys an active lifestyle and can provide him with regular exercise. We were told he loves other dogs; however, since he has been in the kennel environment, he does not appear to be dog friendly. He is kid friendly though. He would love the company of older children to play with. When he's not running around, Channing is incredibly affectionate and will let you know when he wants some love and attention. He's also a pro at cozying up at the end of the bed or next to you on the couch while you watch TV or read a book. Channing is house-trained, responds well to basic commands like sit and stay, and is up to date on his vaccinations. He's also neutered and ready to be your loyal companion. With his loving personality and zest for life, Channing is a wonderful dog with so much love to give. If you're looking for an energetic, affectionate, and playful dog to join your family, Channing might just be the perfect fit! Complete our online application at animalfriendsva.org and we'll arrange a meet and greet to see if he's the one you've been looking for.

Story
Hello, Belgian here, and I am (you guessed it!) a Belgian Malinois. While I don`t expect you to brush up on your Flemish Dutch, I would love it if you learned some about Belgian Malinois before we finalize our adoption. A few Cliff Notes here: I like to work (I know this may sound odd, but it`s true). My breed is valued by police departments and militaries for its strength and stamina, its dexterity, its loyalty, and its eagerness to please. What this means is: If I get exercise and enrichment and training (plenty of each), I`ll be a fantastic companion.I was found as a stray, so the shelter doesn`t know much about me. It took me a moment to settle in here, but I have already demonstrated that I can warm up easily to new people. So, if you have an interest in exploring a rich life together -- whether you speak Flemish or not -- let`s get started today!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Louie was surrendered to Humane Society of Wicomico County because of a negligent owner, who did not provide the proper training to a Belgian Malinois Shepherd mix, which resulted in Louie killing his neighbor's goats. He is a smart, young beautiful dog, and very sweet with humans. A Belgian Malinois mix is a working breed that does  best in a home that is active and willing to provide training, and guidance.  Louie will require a strong leader and someone willing to work with him.   Louie is receiving training at the shelter and learning SIT and LEAVE IT. He is treat motivated. Louie seems to want to pull towards other dogs, we are not sure yet if he is aggressive towards them or wants to play. There is a video of him approaching a dog in a yard in a playful, non-aggressive manner. He may be dog selective.  Louie would not do well around small children. Older children who understand how to play with a dog may be okay He would do well with a fenced yard so he cannot have free range and go off property. Louis is definitely stressed out in the shelter environment.   Because our shelter is full, he is at risk of being euthanized to make space for others.  See more about Louie using the following link:  https://www.wicomicohumane.org/animals/chooie-looie/ PLEASE NOTE : THE DOG LISTED IS SHOWN AS A COURTESY TO ANOTHER ORGANIZATION OR FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHO NEEDS TO FIND A NEW HOME FOR THEIR DOG.

Story
We got Freya 5 years ago from a puppy farm in PA. She is 5 years old her birthday is March 3rd. We unfortunately have to rehome my sweet girl because my wife and I just had a baby, and Freya does not like him. We have sent her away for behavioral training for 4 weeks, and she still does not like the baby. We have contacted many trainers, and Vets about trying to keep her but the end result is she just doesn't like small children, 10 and up she is fine with. Freya is very smart, learns really fast, and needs to be kept busy. She is crate trained, e-collar, and leash trained. She plays fetch, loves to track hidden treats. She needs a place to run, and someone that can work her, things to keep her mind busy. She is mostly Malinois so cannot be left alone for long periods of time they destroy things when bored.

Story
Schön means beautiful in German and uniquely beautiful she is! SSR rescued her as a neglected stray in Oklahoma. She burns calories like a typical high-energy Mal, experience with the breed is recommended. Schon will need more training, her ball and food drive will be sure to make training easier. She will fit best with an active lifestyle adopter who can give her purpose and keep her busy. This sweet and smart girl loves attention and is a 5-star space invader! Schon gives great hugs too! She gets along with other dogs, but tries to be dominate to dogs her size or smaller. No cats for this lady! This beautiful girl loves the game of tug-of-war and fetching her ball. She has a wonderful off-switch and enjoys a good snuggle. Schon is spayed, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccinations, crate trained, and housebroken. Her unique nose poses no health concerns. This forty pound "pocket rocket" is ready to find her forever family. Catch her if you can! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  If you are an approved adopter and are interested in this dog, please let your case worker know. If you are not yet an approved adopter but are interested, please complete an adoption application!
