Prancer Belgian Shepherd / Malinois Mix Louisville, KY

Prancer is a wonderful girl who is 12 years young and very well-traveled. Prancer was originally a stray in Paris where her owners found her as a puppy. They took Prancer in and gave her a loving home and the experience of traveling many countries with them. Unfortunately, when they were asked to relocate to Germany Prancer could not pass customs and they made the decision to surrender her. Prancer has been with us for 3 years now waiting for a new home to call her own.

Prancer is loyal to the core and can be a playful and bouncy girl with those she knows but she isn't the type of dog to tolerate being handled by strangers - hence her inability to make it through customs. Prancer believes in mutual respect and earning it. When she enters a new home Prancer can be aloof not wanting to be touched or handled until she has settled in. Overall, Prancer is a no-nonesense type of gal and appreciates a stable environment where she can be a diva. Prancer is not recommended for a home with children as she greatly values her personal space and has no qualms correcting invasions of it herself.

Prancer has been living with other dogs and does really well with the other dogs. Again she is a very no-nonsense dog and will tell the younger dogs to leave her alone sometimes but will also play with them at times. Prancer is generally the smallest in her foster homes but despite that she navigates unruly Shepherd foster siblings well. Don't let her age fool you Prancer loves her exercise time and is still an active girl. Prancer has been around cats in the past but not recently. She would need a new cat test and a plan of introduction before she could go to a home with cats.

Prancer is above all a very loyal dog and once you have gained her trust and loyalty you couldn’t ask for a better dog. Prancer is searching for a home who understands and appreciates her Malinois characteristics and will give her the love she deserves into her golden years.
