Swift isn’t just energetic—he’s clever, eager, and wants to be challenged. At 1.5 years old, this Belgian Malinois mix shows all the smarts, drive, and intensity you’d expect, but he balances that fierceness with genuine affection and a dash of goofy charm. He craves partnership, not just an owner, and needs someone who will keep his mind busy, share routine, and enjoy bonding. He’s house trained and comfortable in a crate, especially when it’s cozy and covered. With consistent structure, Swift is making progress on settling calmly when left alone. He knows basic cues and is picking up leash skills with a gentle leader. He gets along with female and small dogs if introductions are slow and thoughtful, but cats are a hard no. With his high energy and working dog temperament, Swift needs an experienced adopter—one comfortable with the rhythm and requirements of a Malinois—and a home with adults or older kids who know dogs well. A hock injury means he won’t be your running or agility partner, but he’s outstanding at nose work, adores swimming, and comes alive with enrichment activities. He’s completed multiple scent classes and benefits from low-impact exercise and training games. His ideal match will provide regular walks, brain games, scent work, swimming if possible, and mental challenges. In exchange, Swift will give his whole heart. Anyone considering Swift should be ready for a partner—he’s a rewarding project for the right person, especially one invested in ongoing positive reinforcement training. If that’s you, Swift is ready to meet. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
