Mallory is a special Dutch shepherd mix who was picked up as a stray during a heavy storm near Columbia, SC. She’s quick on her feet, athletic, and eager to work for praise and attention. Mallory has a smart mind and picks up training fast; she already knows some basics but would benefit from more, especially around resource guarding with food and toys. She loves being around other dogs and socializes well, but due to a pronounced prey drive, a cat-free home is best for her. She rides nicely in the car, crates without issue, and is reliable with redirection even when her energy gets her over a fence. For a medium-sized dog, she’s got some serious agility, so a secure yard and conscious supervision would help her thrive. Mallory is best suited to families with dog-savvy kids over five, and she would love to keep growing with someone who can match her drive and offer clear leadership. What are you waiting for?
