She can occasionally be reactive to unpredictable movements or sounds, but as she has matured in her foster home, these instances have become minimal.<br/>She is excellent in her kennel and has made leaps and bounds in overcoming her separation anxiety. She needs a handler who will continue her training, keep her brain busy with sports, and enjoy the many car rides in her future. She will not be placed in an apartment.<br/>✨Cricket is a joyful soul who wins hearts wherever she goes. She’s ready to find a forever home where she can play ball, work hard, and grow into the star we know she is!✨<br/>Please read our adoption process before applying: www.belgianshepherdsrescuecanada.com <br/>*************************<br/>🐾 Voici Cricket – Votre future partenaire sportive et complice d’aventures !<br/>Cricket est une femelle Berger Belge Malinois de 1 an et demi qui porte parfaitement son nom : toujours joyeuse, dynamique et prête à bondir!

Elle peut parfois réagir à des mouvements ou bruits imprévisibles, mais ces réactions sont devenues rares avec la maturité et le travail fait en famille d’accueil.<br/>Elle est excellente en cage, et a fait d’énormes progrès concernant son anxiété de séparation.
