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 end up in rescues and shelters 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.

Stitch
Stitch
Belgian Malinois

Stitch can be nervous around new people, but warms up quickly, and once he does he loves to be petted.  He is neutered and his vaccinations are up-to-date.

He loves his crate.  When something frightens him he retreats to the safety of his crate, either in the house or in the car.   He does have barrier reactivity – he doesn't like other dogs near his crate.  Outside of the crate, though, he's fine with everyone else, and has no resource guarding.

He like food and a ball, but praise is the most important thing to him.

Ellie

Belgian Malinois

Very nice, a little timid at first but warmed up quickly, no issues with handling. Did well with another dog.

She also is very food motivated and does play fetch too. She also seems to prefer food over the tennis ball.

Brock - Adopted
Brock - Adopted
Belgian Malinois

Brock is still hoping someone will come get him from boarding.

He wants you to know he will tug and loves the spring pole. His strike needs some building, his grip is calm, full and amazing.

He's learning how to learn in training. He's a chill dude to walk and doesn't care about the city.

He does like people and is a gentleman. He says no way to other male dogs, but loves the ladies.

Kiani
Kiani
German Shepherd

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
