‼️🎉 BEYOND PROUD to report that my adoptable boy Puck passed his Canine Good Citizen test today! This is huge for a dog who spent the majority of his life in the shelter, nearly un-adoptable due to his intense reactivity to people and dogs. Today, Puck is safe and stable around new people and dogs and he is a dog that I can take anywhere and do anything with. He’s going to be an amazing companion for someone. 💙💙💙

Thank you to my friend Bailey at for testing him!!

My ideal home for Puck would have these qualities:

• Semi Local to Bonners Ferry, ID or Spokane, WA
• Willing to continue training
• Has a very active lifestyle (he loves running/hiking/playing)
• He loves other dogs
• Either no kids or older respectful kids

Puck is a playful 2 year old Malinois x Husky mix. He is shy with new people but bonds quickly. He is super mellow in the home and settles well in public.

K9 Badger just received his ballistic vest! Badger is a dual purpose k9 that I pulled from a shelter, trained, and placed with an excellent handler with the McIntosh County Sheriff’s office in Oklahoma. Badger and his handler recently graduated handler school over where they are and have been having many successful narcotics finds on the road as well as assisting in SWAT operations. Good job Badger!

X E R X E S 🤍 This boy is so special to me. I love all of my dogs dearly but the connection I have with Xerxes is definitely unique.

Just got home from a 12 hour round trip drive to SEATAC to pick up this special guest! This is Willow and she is my mom’s newest dog that they found as a stray dumped in the jungle in Hilo, Hawaii near where they live. My parents are in the process of moving back to the mainland so Miss Willow will be staying with me in the meantime to work on social skills with other dogs, leash manners, obedience, calmness in the home, and recall.

One of my clients donated $200 to cover a few sessions with me for whoever adopts this girl.

Athena is still very much a puppy who has had no socialization. She needs a strong, knowing, human who can help her be all that she can be. While she is 'part' shepherd, she is very much Belgian Malinois. It's a must she have a human who knows the breed; how smart they are, as well as their energy level and drive.

Name: Puck

Breed: Malinois x Husky

Male or Female: Male

Spayed or Neutered: Neutered

D.O.B. or approximate page: 1.5 years old

Do they have papers (AKC, UKC, ect...) No

Current Location: North Idaho

Health issues: None, Embark clear on all tested for diseases.

History: I pulled Puck from a shelter in Moses Lake, WA about a month ago to foster and train until he finds a home. He was in the shelter for 13 months and it didn’t look optimistic for him to get adopted due to his reactivity in the shelter. Now that I have a better understanding of him and the type of home he would do well in, I’m ready to post him for adoption.

Since being out of the shelter, I haven’t seen much reactivity if any at all from him. He is nervous and not social with strangers, however he absolutely genuinely loves other dogs and has been fantastic interacting with my own dogs. He is very sweet with those he considers as being his people. I’ve been able to having him at parks and in stores like Home Depot without issues so long as I’m actively advocating for him around strangers.

He knows basic obedience and loose leash/hands free walking. He is good for grooming (bathing, drying, nail dremeling). He is also muzzle conditioned.

He has HIGH ball drive and great hunt drive. I believe that someone may be able to do some detection or sport work with him if they continue working on building his confidence in social settings. Puck also has high food drive and a surprisingly good off switch too.

Based on what I know of him, Puck would do wonderfully well in a home that is dedicated to continuing his training, and ideally a home with other dogs and owners who have breed experience.

There will be a small rehoming fee.
