James

James is a striking 9–10-month-old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Found severely malnourished just three months ago, this resilient pup has made an incredible recovery and is now ready to find his forever home.

James is a bundle of energy who loves nothing more than being around his chosen humans. A true working dog at heart, James thrives on attention, mental stimulation, and physical activity. He’s always eager to please, often performing commands like “sit” and “shake” just to keep busy and win your approval!  

This playful pup loves chewing on toys, running, and playing with dogs he’s bonded with—his foster sister is his inseparable sidekick (even if she finds him a bit too rambunctious at times).While he’s great with playful companions he is still a puppy and can sometimes be annoying to dogs who don’t want to play such as seniors and littles. He has also been to a home without other dogs and been just fine entertaining himself.  

James is still learning some puppy manners, like not jumping or mouthing during play, but he’s making great progress. This athletic boy has an impressive vertical and horizontal jump, so he’ll need a yard with a 6'secure fence to keep him safely contained. He’s kennel trained and potty trained and incredibly intelligent.  

James is potty trained, intelligent, and has the working-dog mindset that thrives in an active home. He’ll do best with someone who can provide him with plenty of structure, training, and stimulation.

If you’re looking for a loyal, high-energy pup who will be your best friend and adventure buddy, James is ready to meet you!
