About Rey

Rey is a lovely 7-year-old Belgian Malinois/Shepherd mix who joined us after her family moved to an apartment and felt they could no longer provide the attention she needs. Weighing in at 53.9 pounds, she’s looking for a family to call her own. This sweet girl can be a bit shy when meeting new people. With a little patience, she'll reveal her loving and eager-to-please nature. Rey embodies many classic Shepherd traits: she’s intelligent, loyal, and sensitive, thriving when she understands what’s expected of her. While Rey is nervous around other dogs and tends to bark at them, this behavior stems from fear rather than aggression. She takes time to trust unfamiliar dogs, so her ideal adopter will understand her needs and be patient with introductions. Previously, Rey lived with children, but her cautious demeanor makes her more suited for a home with older kids. The bright side is Rey is already well-prepared for adoption. She is crate trained, house trained, walks well on a leash, and knows basic commands. Spayed and updated on vaccinations, Rey still has much love and companionship to offer. For a family familiar with Shepherd nuances, she could be the loyal companion you’ve been searching for. Think Rey might be a good fit? Apply today to see if she could be your new best friend!
