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.

  • Fennec

    Fennec is an approx 3yr Dutch Shepherd that is all about her people, in the cutest way possible! She’s confident outside walking around the city, has pretty good manners and really doesn’t jump up, and has the sweetest personality known to human kind.

    She is dog social and crate trained.

  • Obi Wan

    Obi Wan is a 1-ish year old Malinois who is total goofball. He’s a giant puppy at heart and oh so lovable.

  • 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.
