Adele
Available Since: January 29, 2026
Breed: Belgian Malinois
Age: Adult
Description: Adele is a young Belgian Malinois who is incredibly smart, deeply loyal, and very loved. She is easily one of the smartest dogs we’ve ever worked with and has an uncanny ability to figure things out. She can open doors, carabiners, and latches. Her intelligence is impressive and very true to her breed. She is the kind of dog who bonds hard with her people and takes her role as a protector seriously. Because of that, Adele truly needs to be the only dog in the home. Adele is more of a guardian than a laid back family pet. She will be completely devoted to her person and will love and protect them with everything she has. With people, she is affectionate, confident, and does well with children, she just doesn’t enjoy sharing her space with other dogs. She is very active and loves to play. Chasing a ball or frisbee is one of her favorite things, and she’s a big fan of swimming too. She has no problem putting on her life jacket and jumping into the pool. Adele is house trained, kennel trained, and fully potty trained. She does great for baths and is happiest chewing on her favorite bones. She is fully vetted and has had a preventative stomach tack, which speaks to just how athletic she is. Adele can easily clear 10 feet in the air. This girl is all about movement, purpose, and adventure. Adele is looking for an experienced, committed home that understands the Malinois breed and is excited about having a loyal, protective companion. In the right environment, she will be an incredible partner and a once in a lifetime dog.

Mary
Available Since: March 17, 2026
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: Young
Description: Mary is a 1-year-old, fully grown 25 lb Terrier mix. She is completely deaf, which simply means she experiences the world a little differently and makes her even more special. Mary thrives on companionship and wants to be right by your side, whether she is playing in the pool or riding shotgun in the car. Because she loves being included and isn't a fan of being alone, she would do best with a retired individual or a family with a stay-at-home routine. When it’s time to rest, she curls up into the tiniest little ball. Because she is deaf, Mary will need a patient adopter willing to communicate with her using visual cues.
