Paprika is the only girl in a litter of five, born to a Belgian Malinois mom with an unknown dad. She's about 55 lbs and growing into her large-breed frame. While her brothers—Chili, Cilantro, Basil, and Mint—tend to be outgoing, Paprika is more reserved. She’s particularly shy and uncertain around new people but does settle in and warm up once she gets to know you. The siblings are all energetic and playful, so she’ll benefit most from a home where she can get regular exercise and patient socialization. Paprika is currently being cared for in Apple Valley, CA. She’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and has been well cared for since birth. According to her foster caregivers, she gets along with other dogs, though her nervousness with strangers means adopters should go slow with introductions and consider a calm living environment, especially at first. If you’re looking for an active young shepherd mix with a gentle heart and a bit of cautious sweetness, Paprika is waiting. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
