About Terra

Meet Terra—a small package with a big spirit for adventure! This spunky girl is ready to zoom around, play with dogs, and spread love to everyone she meets. At just 11 months old, Terra is a Belgian Shepherd/Malinois mix. Weighing in at about 25 lbs, she’s both smart and eager to please, always keeping a close eye on the action. Terra thrives on human interaction and is an excellent playmate for other energetic dogs. Quick and agile, she practically flies when she runs. A home with a fenced yard would be perfect for this little athlete, and she’ll benefit from owners who are committed to her exercise, training, and mental stimulation. She's also learned that kitchen counters are not her personal climbing gym. Currently working on her potty training, Terra settles well in her crate and enjoys curling up on the couch when it's time to relax. Because of her energy and intelligence, she requires a family with prior dog experience who can channel her drive positively. Ready for a bright, bouncy best friend? Apply to adopt Terra!
