Story
Winnie is the sweetest, cuddliest, and most playful dog I’ve ever owned or known, which is why she needs a vibrant household with a loving family. She would do really well with older kids and other playful dogs as she is very social and playful. She is very submissive but extremely playful. She needs to continue her obedience training which is going well, and will likely improve with age. She has an e-collar that she does well with and has off leash training, and she is house trained. She is current on her first year vaccines. I will provide her e collar, crate, and any other belongings to whoever adopts her at no charge. I am going to be picky about her adopter(s) to make sure she finds a forever home. I would prefer a household with two adults and older kids (I.e 8+) and ideally another dog. I would also consider a single person who owns another relatively young/playful dog and leads an active lifestyle.

Australian Shepherd Belgian Malinois

Rocky Mount, VA
Size

Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This sweet fellow was adopted as a young puppy and recently returned to us with no socialization whatsoever. His breed (Belgian Malinois) and age demands that he find a home willing to put in the time for training and socialization so that he can be a well rounded and well behaved adult. We may have failed to find that home the first time around, but we will not let him down again. We are looking for experienced and prepared owners this time around. He is a sweet, smart, beautiful boy that deserves the best.

Story
Shelter stressed right now due to a LONG shelter stay. Has been with us since April 2021! Dogs: loves most female dogs, non confrontational male dogs Cats: has not tested well with cats at the shelter Kids: a home no kids is ideal but could adjust to older kids (14+) I'm so smart. I know sit, down (lay down), I can give paw, and the recall work we've done show promise for a "come" command. I want to be a loyal boy to someone who truly sees my potential. Arrived in April 2021 and was great with dogs, new people, etc. After a few months, Breki was stressed and anxious, and began acting reactively towards all of the people "staring in" at him through the glass as well as towards other dogs who went past, barking, etc. Our trainer noticed this as a behavior change so our clinic started Breki on a medication to help him feel less anxious and threatened. This is really helping, but he can be standoffish with people through barriers. We believe this to be due to shelter stress which can cause dogs to become depressed or show behaviors that are not typical of their usual behaviors. With familiar staff Breki is goofy, playful, very much focused on being with you and pleasing you. He gets along with other dogs who are friendly and playful.
