          She’s a 9 month old Belgian Malinois mix. She’s done well with other dogs. She’s a little shy when meeting new people but is doing much better. We have no information as to how she’d do with cats. If you’re interested in fostering her, fill out the foster app

          If you want lots of love, I'm your guy!

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          I am a fluffy, happy, playful and friendly guy. I love to be chased, play fetch, and go on walks and hikes. I aim to please my humans and I will always be by your side while you are at home. I am a loyal, gentle, cuddly guy who really just wants to be the goodest boy for his human. I would do best as an only dog so I could get all the love and attention from my humans.

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          I knows all basic cues (sit, down, off, leave it, come, stay). If I had to pick one cue to work on it would be stay. I am potty trained and never had any accidents inside the house. I am also crate trained and trained to sleep on my dog bed at night. I don't mind you trimming my nails, a few treats might help though! I love all the pets and belly scratches I can get. I walk well on a front clip harness but could use a little bit of training for reactivity to other dogs on walks and leash manners, in general.

          I have been fine with children.

          I am a super chewer so I do best with natural rubber toys. My favorite treats are Simple 1 ingredient Salmon skins from Trader Joes.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          My ideal forever home would be somewhere where I am the only dog with a big back yard to run around, play fetch and be loved by my humans. I'd really enjoy an active family so I can go on lots of walks and hikes.

          I’m a smart, sassy pup with a big personality! I treat the floor like it’s made of lava, because duh—it gives me an excuse to launch onto the couch like a superhero. I'm bursting with energy so life with me is never boring. I may be full of energy and sass, but I also love to cuddle—give me a lap or a snuggle spot and I’m yours! &amp;#55357;&amp;#56382;&amp;#55357;&amp;#56470;

    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          I’m a quick learner! I already know some of the basics—like sit and even flat—and I’m excited to keep showing off how smart I am. I’m still learning my impulse control, and because the world can feel a little overwhelming sometimes, I can be reactive. But with patience and guidance, I know I’ll keep getting better! &amp;#55357;&amp;#56382;&amp;#55357;&amp;#56481;✨

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          I adore my dog brother—he’s high-energy like me and isn’t afraid to keep me in check! I can be a little too bossy with my dog sister since she doesn’t correct me. Oh, and I live with two cats too! &amp;#55357;&amp;#56382;&amp;#55357;&amp;#56341;&amp;#55357;&amp;#56328; I could also live as an only dog to get all of the attention.

          I really love kids—my absolute favorite human is my teen brother! Because I’m a big, bouncy goofball, I’d do best with older kids who can handle all my enthusiasm. &amp;#55357;&amp;#56382;&amp;#55357;&amp;#56473;

          Adventure Buddy
         &#xD;

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          I'm Ronin! I am a striking 5½-year-old mix of Doberman, American Bully, Pit Bull Terrier, and Australian Cattle Dog. I am adventurous, athletic, and an intelligent companion who loves being outdoors. My favorite activities include long walks, mountain hikes, running, wrestling, car rides, and soaking up the sun - especially on warm summer days. I'm happiest when exploring nature and practicing my own version of parkour on rocks and logs. I am brave, curious and smart. I thrive with structure and enjoy learning new things. I am very loyal and bond deeply once I trust you.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

          General Socialization Notes:
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          I would do best in a home that understands my needs. I can be reactive to other dogs and I take time to warm up to new people, so patience and consistency are key. I am selective about human interaction and will let you know when I want space. I like to keep watch and may bark at the fence. With training and patience, I am willing to learn.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
          I am crate trained.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

          Does Ronin like other animals?
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          I may do best in a home as an only dog so I can get all the love from my humans. No cats please.

          Does Ronin like children?
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          I'd do best in a home with older children or an adult only home.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          No soft, stuffed toys for me. I am a hard chewer and have had trouble with swallowing parts of my toys. Only chew toys that are made for dogs like me.
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          I would flourish in a home with a tall fenced yard, multiple daily walks, and an active person or family who loves car rides and mountain adventures (don’t forget my shoes and jacket for cold weather!). I'd be the perfect partner for someone who enjoys the outdoors and wants a smart, athletic dog to share it with. No small

          I love the outdoors and soaking up the sun!
          &#xD;

          Hey there! I'm Journey, and I'm a happy, energetic dog who loves the outdoors. There's nothing better than lounging in the sun, soaking up the warmth, and chasing squirrels around the yard (they can be tricky!). I'm at my happiest when I'm with my people, and I'd love a home with a big backyard where I can stretch my legs. I may do best in a home as an only dog so I can get all the love.
         &#xD;

          General Socialization Notes:

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          I'm a social pup who enjoys meeting new people! I have a blast playing fetch, tug-of-war with ropes, and hunting for hidden treats in the house! I'm pretty good on my leash, but if I spot another animal, I can get a little excited. I'm well-behaved inside, but when I'm outside, the world can be a bit distracting for me. I'd need a family that is willing to work on that with me.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
          Does Journey like other animals?
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          I think I'd thrive in a home with no other animals, where I can have a big yard to call my own. I am not sure about cats since I haven't met any.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

          Does Journey like children?
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          Yes, I lived in a home with children, older and younger, and did well with them. I was always very gentle.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

          I'd love a home where I can have a big yard to call my own and plenty of toys to keep me entertained. I'd do best in a home as an only dog. I also want to work on feeling more comfortable when seeing other dogs while I'm out walking. I'm ready to join a family that will love me and take me on lots of adventures!

          What's not to love about me?
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

          I'm an extroverted guy who loves attention and being petted. I'm good at the groomers and have my basic obedience cues down. I have a sweet, sensitive soul. I love my ball and playing fetch means everything to me. I also enjoy adventures. What's not to love about me?

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
          If it were up to me, I'd snuggle up to my family all day every day, or go on an adventures with them. I love car rides. I've learned to be quiet during the day at my foster mom's feet while she works. I used to get sad and anxious when she left, but I've become very familiar with going into my crate while she's gone or snuggling up on the couch until she returns. She also bought me a snuggle puppy stuffed animal that has a 'heartbeat' and I've loved curling up with it in my crate. It's really helped me settle in quickly in my crate! She also crates me at night when she goes to bed. I developed some noise sensitivity but it may have been due to stress.
          &#xD;

          Does Ranger like other animals?

    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
          I sometimes react to dogs on leashes and behind fences as I pass them, but I've been working really hard over the last month on my training and am getting better about ignoring them and not being as afraid they might pop out from the fence. I do resource guard so I might do best as an only dog. I tried to meet a cat once, but wasn't given ample time and boundaries to get familiar with the cat. If a family is interested in me that has a cat, I'll need time to warm up to it and proper introduction methods to see how I might do. I've been to a barn that houses horses, and was introduced to them while being on leash. I really wasn't interested in them and didn't react as I do with dogs while being on leash. When we ran out in the field where horses were being ridden, I was WAY more interested in a ball and playing fetch.

          Does Ranger like children?
         &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
          While I haven't been exposed to children, it might be best if children in the house were slightly older (8+). Sometimes I get really excited about toys, and I'm still learning the 'drop it' cue. A late grade school, middle schooler, and high schooler might better understand to be patient with me.
          &#xD;

    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
          My favorite activity has been going to a field and retrieving a thrown ball over and over again. Inside the house, I love playing fetch, but I also love playing keep away. It's so much fun! Really any dog toy will get me excited if my new family is willing to throw it for me!
          &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      
          My ideal home would be one with a patient person or family who will love me unconditionally. I'd love a family that I can snuggle up to on the couch with, who will throw a ball or toy for me, and bring me along on their adventures and car rides! I would do best as an only dog. I love going for walks. If my next home has a fence around the yard or farm land, I'd love to spend time in the yard with them as they do yard work or play with me. I have a lot of love to give, and am ready to have a place in my furever home.

          I'm an active guy with lots of energy and love to give. Sometimes I get nervous when meeting new people and bark at them, but I'm trying to overcome my fears so I can make more human friends.

    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          I'm a good boy but I need someone who is able to continue my training so I can continue to become even better. I am crate trained and potty trained, but I do sometimes mark in the house. If there were no other male dogs in the home, it might be easier for me.
          &#xD;

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
          I am reactive when I meet other dogs on leash, so meeting dogs off leash is less stressful for me. I am pretty selective with my dog friends and might be best as an only dog, but some submissive dogs and females are ok. I would do best with no small animals.

          I love to play with balls. Chase is my favorite game. I've never played with a flirt pole before but I think they sound super fun!

          I would love a backyard where I could run and play. An active family that could take me on hikes and adventures would be amazing! I also need someone who is invested in my training and willing to help me become the dog I know I can be.
