Adele - Belgian Shepherd Malinois and Dutch Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Adele is at our Bucktown Adoption Center (2144 N. Wood St.) Stop in anytime during open hours to meet her!

Adele is:
Spayed: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized

More about Adele:
Housebroken: Almost there! She has done best on a consistent routine and with access to a reliably distraction-free potty spot
Crate trained: She is not comfortable being left home alone yet and will need to continue working on this
Leash walking: She may become overexcited when she sees other dogs, leading to pulling and frustration barking. She would do best in a lower-traffic neighborhood where she can have more space from other dogs.
Dog social: Yes! Adele lived with another dog in her foster home and did well. She would do best with energetic, playful canine companions who enjoy an active play style.
Cat social: Unknown
Kid friendly: Yes! Adele is friendly with kids but would do best with bigger kids as she can be jumpy when excited

Adele likes:
- Playing fetch
- Chilling with her people
- Learning new things!

Adele wants to be around her besties - humans or dogs - all the time! She likes to follow you around the apartment, and is immediately in your lap when you sit down on the couch. She also is extremely inquisitive; she will happily sniff for hours, and will frequently gently pick up objects (but will relinquish non-toys/redirect without much trouble). She's starting to learn "sit" and "off" after just a few days, and is just a lovely and smart girl with so much potential!

Adele's adoption fee is $300, and she will make a great addition to her forever family!
