Shepherd and Belgian Shepherd Malinois Dogs Available for Adoption

Please contact ADOPTION (adopt@doggieharmony.org) for more information about this pet.

Cleveland is a handsome Shepherd/Malinois type dog with pointy Yoda ears and a beautiful coat. He is a big 2 year old 77 lb. boy who has lived in a home so we have lots of good information about him.

We know he is house and crate trained and smart (knows Sit, Down, Stay, Come, Give Paw.) He has many other wonderful qualities including being very loving, affectionate, friendly and playful. He's lived with a 14 year old human and did fine.

Like many working breeds, he’ll flourish in a home that understands his need for daily exercise and mental stimulation and in return, he’ll reward you with unmatched devotion and partnership.

Cleveland may be able to live with another dog with slow introductions and proper decompression. Right now, however, keeping him calm is especially important as he undergoes heartworm treatment.

Time is critical. Cleveland needs a safe, loving place to rest and recover while finishing his heartworm injections.

If you’re an experienced working-breed person looking for an incredibly smart, loyal, and loving companion, Cleveland could be your perfect match. He just needs someone to give him a chance.
