Giving working dogs a second chance.
Placing Belgian and Dutch Shepherds into working homes across the Midwest
Adopting is one of the best things you can do.
Belgian and Dutch Shepherds in themselves in rescue and shelter for being themselves, high energy, driven dogs looking for a job, any job to do. We have successfully placed dogs in working homes of all kinds: Search and Rescue, Law Enforcement, Corrections, Sport, and Service Work.

Sherbert - Adopted
Bert is as sweet as they come, loves to cuddle and play. He melts in the palm of your hand as soon as you pet him.
He is 10-11 months old and still figuring out his manners. Bert would be an excellent addition to any home with the right level of experience. He has been around kids and loves other dogs. Smaller dogs might struggle to adjust to his energy levels, but with proper training there should be no issues. -
Indy - Adopted!
Indy is a 2-year-old sweetheart! I don't think she's ever met a person she didn't like. She also loves to play. Toys, balls, frisbee, tug, swimming in the pool ... she loves it all. Even though she's an active girl, she has an "off switch" and loves nothing better than to cuddle with one of her people. Indy is a great passenger in the car, sitting quietly and enjoying the ride.
She is fine with the horses at her foster home, but the barn cats definitely distract her. She did well with introductions to both male and female test dogs in the shelter, but introductions with other dogs should be done carefully.
Indy's foster mom reported that the recently had the roof on their house replaced. Indy was on high alert with all the strange people outside the house, but she didn't bark or go crazy! -
Xena - Adopted
This pretty little girl is Xena. She is about 5 months old and an active girl. Xena is crate trained, housebroken and with the help of her foster mom she's learning basic commands. They're also working on impulse control.
Xena will need to go to a home who will do canine sports with her. She jumps like a gazelle, so we see agility in her future. A baby gate means nothing to her! It's just a minor obstacle in her way.
She loves her toys and her big brothers in her foster home. She is a very sweet and playful puppy but she does like to get her way!

Kiani
Kiani is a 4yr sable GSD. She's extremely open and social, the Walmart greeter of Shepherds with every single person that has come her way. She's in play group, no issues with dogs behind fences, and neutral on lead. She will tug nicely, targets correctly and doesn't try to climb up the toy (video in comments). Great ball drive and does use her nose to hunt (video in comments). She house trained and crate trained, lives in a foster with other animals, and even has some obedience foundation.
She'd be great for someone looking for a sportier GSD or is IGP curious. Would be a great dog to learn with as she's not over the top, does not frustrate into arousal, can work and then be a house dog. Agility, scent work, Fast CAT also her jam.
Location: Chicago
Stats: spayed female, 4yr old, UTD on all vax
