About Glenda

Glenda is one of the growing "G" litter, a Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd mix at just 10 weeks old. She’s cute and lively, but make no mistake—she is not suited for every home. Glenda needs a securely fenced yard, daily exercise, and significant mental stimulation. She thrives when given structure, a sense of purpose, and an owner ready to provide training and leadership. Apartments are not a good fit for her, and first-time dog owners should look elsewhere. Glenda and her siblings need adopters with experience handling working breeds who understand the importance of engagement, routine, and energy outlets. Without it, they’ll find their own entertainment. Glenda is expected to be between 50-80 lbs when fully grown, with a short brown and black coat. She’s friendly with other dogs and children, but she is not yet house trained. If you're up for the challenge and ready to provide the commitment, Glenda awaits in Kannapolis, NC.
