About Blondie

Blondie is a remarkable 9-year-old German Shepherd and Malinois mix, weighing in at 58 lbs. She showcases a strong, intelligent personality and has clearly had some professional protection training in the past. This breed combination thrives on structure and leadership, making it essential for someone experienced in handling working breeds to adopt her. Having spent time outdoors earlier in her life, Blondie has adapted beautifully to living indoors and is fully housebroken. She's eager to train and offers great potential as a companion for the right owner. However, her dominant nature means she must be the only pet in the home and is not suited for households with children or cats; she doesn't get along with other dogs either. Blondie is spayed, heartworm negative, and fully vaccinated, ready for her forever home. We are looking for a committed, experienced adopter who can further her training and maintain the focus she needs in her new environment. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
