About Dream

Meet Dream! Dream is a Malinois mix who’s been through significant changes recently. After giving birth to three pups, she found herself at Reba's Animal Rescue. Dream is searching for a forever home where she can feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Given her past, Dream can be a bit nervous around new people. It’s best to take things slow and allow her the space she needs to come out of her shell. Once she does, you will discover her affectionate side—she loves to give the best hugs and enjoys being by your side all day. Smart and energetic, Dream already knows how to drop it and loves to play, whether that's with toys, running around outside, or just having fun during movie nights.
