I’m highly intelligent and enjoy learning new things, I am a working breed (Belgian Malinois) for a working breed, I’m a little low energy because I am considered a pet rather than a working dog. by nature, I am a protector of my family it’s just who I am. With proper greeting of new people and animals I'm fine.“

  — Karla W.

  — Ashleyy G.

• “Hi, I’m Kya! 🐾 I’m a super smart and energetic German Shepherd puppy with a big personality and an even bigger love for playtime! My favorite things in the world? Chasing balls like my life depends on it, zooming after my flirt pole like a pro, and staring at birds like I’m the queen of the sky. I’ve got energy for days and I’m always ready for the next adventure—or at least the next game of fetch. When I’m not being a zoomie queen, I live for head scratches. Seriously, I’d trade my favorite toy for a good scratch behind the ears. I’m loyal, curious, and always ready to learn something new—as long as it comes with treats and love. Let’s play! 💕🐶“

  — Kala j.

• “I’m Kya and I love my mom!! I love to explore the woods and go on adventures with her. I don’t particularly like other dogs or humans because they scare me! So I bark and lunge and try to get them to go away. I am a sweet love-bug at home and actually love my two fur brothers! I keep my circle small! I live to run and play with my few favorite toys but mostly love to play and explore with mom.“

  — Ashley Z.

• “Kya is  2 1/2 year old border collie, retriever, lab mix! She absolutely loves to play fetch and won’t leave you alone once you throw the ball once! The only thing she loves more than fetch is water! Water bowl, puddle, pool...she will lay in it! She can’t wait to play!!“

  — Angela R.

• “Well behaved puppy looking to explore the world with my friends. Always looking for a good spot to train and test my ability to be the best I can be, while having the most amazing time ♥️“

  — Amber C.

• “I’m a reactive dog and I have trouble making friends. I’m very anxious and I let my anxiety get the best of me. I’m great with people but other dogs aren’t my thing. We are working hard on changing that though! I love my toys and playing tug of war and fetch! I like swimming getting pets :)“

  — Heather W.

• “I am a rescue from a hoarding situation and I get scared easily. I love to be in nature where it's quiet and peaceful! Exploring, sniffing and rolling are my favorites!“

  — Steph F.
