WRIGLEY AKA DURBUY - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / BELGIAN SHEPHERD MALINOIS / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Mixed. Check out our adorable Wrigley enjoying a camping trip in the Sierra Nevada mountains! He had a fantastic time, sleeping next to his family in the tent and going on plenty of hikes. At just 5 months old, Wrigley is a smart and eager learner, thrilled to earn treats as he masters new skills. He's already learned commands like "sit," "down," "with me," "stay," and "watch me." Wrigley is crate trained and potty trained, although he still needs a quick midnight outing. With his big ears that he’s still growing into, Wrigley is truly a gem. His foster family emphasizes good behavior and dedicates time to honing his skills, making him a pleasure to take along on errands and outings. Out in public, Wrigley is a rockstar! He happily greets other dogs and is very friendly with people. He’s completely unfazed by passing bikes and strollers, even checking out boats at the marina. Wrigley is an expert snuggler and is currently learning how to fetch. He resides with one of our alumni shepherds and a female chihuahua mix until he finds his forever home. Wrigley’s siblings—Waterloo (known as Looie), Leuven, Louie, Brussels, and Herstal—are thriving with their adoptive families, and we’d love to find Wrigley a great match as well. Wrigley was initially adopted by a family eager to welcome him into their home. However, their resident five-year-old Rottweiler mix was not accepting of a puppy, which created significant challenges for Wrigley’s integration. It was decided that Wrigley deserves to be in a household where everyone welcomes him, so he returned to his foster family, where he's thriving. Wrigley loves interacting with other dogs, climbing on agility gear, exploring the yard, and getting all wiggly when it’s playtime. During downtime, he enjoys settling in with his toys. We believe Wrigley is a mix of German Shepherd and Malinois, exhibiting a lovely temperament, thanks to his mother. This litter was brought into the care of Foster & Paws, a rescue organization dedicated to helping dogs that end up in shelters while pregnant. Although they focus on dogs in need, they are not breed-specific to shepherd mixes, and we’re committed to finding the best homes for our breed. Have you checked out our YouTube channel?
