About JJ 5/12/2026 *Pending Adoption*

JJ is a handsome young male Malinois x GSD mix who recently joined our rescue. He's still a bit of a mystery as he needs another round of shots before we can get a clearer picture of his personality and what he'll need in his forever home. We anticipate having a better understanding of JJ in the next couple of weeks.

Ideal Home

JJ needs a very experienced home that is prepared to invest a lot of time and effort into training and socialization.

Ongoing Health

JJ is up-to-date on some vaccinations but will need another round before adoption.

Training & Support

JJ is a young dog with a lot of potential, but he will require significant training and socialization to help him thrive.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transportation

JJ is currently located in Van Horne, IA. Transportation to approved adopters may be available.
