Absolutely.<br/><br/>A training session with treats? She's ready.<br/><br/>An outdoor adventure? Where's the leash?<br/><br/>And when the activity is over, don't be surprised if this athletic little Malinois mix suddenly decides she's a lap dog. Georgia is wonderfully affectionate and loves being close to her people.<br/><br/>She may have the brain of a working dog, but she also believes cuddling is serious work. <br/><br/> SMART, CURIOUS & EAGER TO LEARN<br/><br/>Georgia already knows "sit," walks well on leash, and is highly treat motivated, giving her a wonderful foundation for continued training.<br/><br/>Like many intelligent adolescent working-breed dogs, however, Georgia is still learning how to manage all that enthusiasm. She can be jumpy and mouthy, and sometimes her teenage brain gets ahead of her manners.<br/><br/>Georgia doesn't need someone expecting a perfectly finished dog.<br/><br/>She needs someone who sees her potential.<br/><br/>With structure, consistency, positive training, exercise, and appropriate outlets for her energy and intelligence, Georgia has everything she needs to grow into an extraordinary adult companion.<br/><br/> ABOUT OTHER ANIMALS<br/><br/>Georgia is dog selective, so introductions to other dogs should be thoughtful and appropriate.<br/><br/>She has not been tested with cats, and because she has a high prey drive, a home with small animals may not be the best match.<br/><br/> GEORGIA'S DREAM HOME<br/><br/>Georgia would thrive with an active person or family who genuinely enjoys doing things with their dog. Experience with Malinois or other intelligent, high-energy working breeds is preferred.<br/><br/>Because Georgia is still young, enthusiastic, jumpy, and mouthy, she is recommended for a home with children ages 13 and older.<br/><br/>Her ideal person will understand that exercise is only part of the equation. Georgia also needs training, mental enrichment, structure, patience, and plenty of positive interaction.<br/><br/>In return?<br/><br/>You'll get a dog who will make you laugh, keep you moving, challenge your brain, join your adventures, celebrate your arrival home-and then try to climb into your lap as though 39 pounds of Malinois/Husky were designed specifically to fit there. <br/><br/> GEORGIA AT A GLANCE <br/><br/> Affectionate & people-oriented<br/> Loves fetch and toys<br/> Smart and eager to learn<br/> Treat motivated<br/> Walks well on leash<br/> Knows "sit"<br/> Social butterfly with people<br/> Lap dog<br/> Chatty and expressive<br/> Best suited for an active home<br/> Kids 13+<br/> Dog selective<br/> Not tested with cats<br/> High prey drive<br/> Breed experience preferred<br/><br/>Georgia has spent much of her puppyhood growing up in a shelter.<br/><br/>What she needs now isn't another kennel or another temporary chapter.<br/><br/>She needs her person.<br/><br/>Someone who will give that remarkable young brain a purpose, that energetic body adventures, and that affectionate heart somewhere it can finally belong.<br/><br/>Georgia is still becoming the dog she will one day be.<br/><br/>Maybe she's just waiting for the person who will help her get there. <br/><br/> Come meet Georgia at Upland Animal Shelter in Upland, California.
