About this Dog
Meet our delightful puppy, Brussels, who is eagerly awaiting his forever home! This handsome pup has an athletic, agile build and soulful eyes. With a calm and relaxed temperament, he's a wonderful companion.Brussels is currently fostered in a loving home that includes two pre-teens and a senior French Bulldog who helps set boundaries. He initially shared his home with his littermate, Herstal, until Herstal moved to a different foster home. The transition to being a solo puppy was seamless for Brussels.He has been well-socialized, enjoying car and stroller rides to kids' sports practices and games, interacting with many children and adults, and visiting coffee shops and other stores. Brussels is crate-trained and typically requires one to two potty breaks at night, with a routine that includes downtime by 10 PM, a potty break at midnight, and occasionally again at 4 AM. He wakes up at 7 AM and is potty trained during the day with reminders. Brussels is also learning to be proactive about bathroom breaks through a doggy door.Being food motivated makes him easy to train. He excels at sitting, has mastered down commands, and is currently working on a reliable stay for his age. He enjoys a game of "search and eat" with his kibble and can run or walk on a leash in a safe area. Brussels is also crate-trained to sleep in a living space outside the bedroom. His life is filled with snuggles and play with the kids, along with the structure he needs. He shares his love and attention with all family members, showing his loyal and gentle nature.As he approaches the teething phase, Brussels is good at keeping his mouth on his toys and treats to cope with the discomfort. Born to a lovely Malinois mother who has already been adopted, we suspect this litter is a mix of Malinois and German Shepherd. Born under the care of Foster & Paws, a rescue organization focused on dogs that end up in shelters while pregnant. Since they are not breed-specific, we have partnered with them to find the best adopters—those knowledgeable about Malinois and German Shepherd breeds—for these affectionate puppies.Brussels will thrive in a forever home that continues to provide environmental exposure, building on the excellent foundation he is receiving in his foster home. Ongoing training and structure are essential for shepherd puppies to grow into well-adjusted adult dogs.Have you checked out our YouTube channel? We would greatly appreciate your support by subscribing, liking, and commenting on the videos we share of our adoptable shepherds in action. You can also follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and our newest Threads account, where we post plenty of news and updates about our shepherds.As a foster-based rescue, ShepHeroes is always in need of fosters. There are many shepherds in our local shelters who require our help for a fresh start. Would you be willing to open your home and share part of your life to help these dogs find new families? You provide the love, and we will provide everything else! Saying "yes" today truly saves a life. Complete this https://www.shepheroes.org/foster-form, and we will be in touch as soon as possible.

Contribute to Brussels's Stash!

100% of Brussels's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Brussels.
Adopt Brussels and Receive Brussels's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Brussels's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Brussels's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Brussels, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Brussels's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Brussels was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Brussels’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Brussels’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Brussels’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
