Meet Riot!
Riot is a 3-month-old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix (best breed guess). While we don't know who his parents are, we do know he's growing into one incredible puppy!
Riot came to our rescue from a small rural shelter when he was just 5 weeks old and has been thriving in foster care ever since. Thanks to the love and structure of his foster home, he is doing an amazing job with both crate training and potty training.
This handsome boy is everything you could want in a puppy: sweet, affectionate, incredibly intelligent, and eager to learn. He loves spending time with his people and has the confidence and curiosity to explore the world around him. With continued training, consistency, and plenty of mental and physical enrichment, Riot has all the potential to become an exceptional lifelong companion.
Because of his Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd heritage, Riot will do best with a family that is committed to providing regular exercise, continued training, and opportunities to use his active mind. These are highly intelligent working breeds that thrive when they have a job to do and a family to love.

✅ Neutered
✅ Microchipped
✅ Up to date on age-appropriate vaccines

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
