Calusa - Located in Florida

Calusa is a delightful 3-year-old spayed Belgian Malinois/Tervuren mix with a spirit for adventure and a heart full of affection. She's the perfect companion for someone who wants a dog that can keep up with an active lifestyle but also enjoy quiet time at home. Calusa is confident, cooperative during handling, and surprisingly good at relaxing after playtime. She's also house-trained, crate-trained, and keeps her space neat and tidy.

Ideal Home

Calusa would thrive with an active single adult or couple who can provide her with companionship and adventure. Due to her possessive tendencies with valued items, she is not recommended for homes with children. Her high prey drive means she is not suited for homes with cats or other small animals, although she has shown improvement with outdoor cats. Introductions to other dogs should be thoughtful, but she is not dog reactive.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.

Training & Support

Calusa understands several German commands (sit, down, stand) and has excellent recall. She is learning to heel formally but walks well on a leash. She is e-collar trained and responds well to low levels, using it as a communication tool. While she responds well to structured trades for valued items, owners should be mindful of this tendency.
