About this Dog
Meet Herstal, the last littermate to join Brussels, Durbuy (also known as Wrigley), Leuven (also known as Louie), and Waterloo (also known as Looie), in our care. He was super sweet during his bath and amiable to his paw manicure upon arrival in his ShepHeroes foster home. Snuggly, attentive to his human, and very treat-motivated are our first observations. A little shy at first, he took refuge in his foster's legs, taking his time to assess things before blossoming into wandering the yard and the house, and ultimately playing with the resident dogs. Herstal loves toys, water, and using his sniffer. We can't wait to share more about this agile boy with you. Herstal is an observent boy who notices things that weren't there before like a crane putting in a new truss on a few houses away that the resident dogs didn't even pay attention. Herstal has spent the last week back at Fosters & Paws Central, hobnobbing with many smaller-breed dogs in their rescue. Before that, he was fostered with Brussels for the first month after the litter was weaned from their mother. To understand each pup's personality, we typically split littermates between 3 and 4 months of age to separate them into different foster homes. Herstal, just like Brussels, 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. Herstal is crate-trained and typically requires a quick potty break in the middle of the night. Being food-motivated makes him easy to train. He excels at sitting, and we'll refresh his down and stay. He enjoys a game of "search and eat" with his kibble and can run or walk on a leash. We are deeply appreciative of his prior foster family, who showered him with love and filled his days with snuggles and playtime with kids, along with the structure he needed. While sharing his foster home with Brussels, Herstal was the energetic energizer bunny of the pairing. We're excited to see his temperament stand on its own. This little guy caught a Pilots and Paws flight to his foster home in San Jose after spending a couple nights in a Sacramento foster home that he shared with Beauford. They were two peas in a pod, playing and napping right by their foster mom. He'll be the solo puppy in his new foster home with oppurtunities to play with the neighbor dogs. He walked through the airport in to the apron, easily met his pilots and hopped into his crate for his ride. Born to a lovely Malinois mother who has already been adopted, we suspect this litter is a mix of Malinois and German Shepherd. Foster & Paws is a rescue organization focusing on pregnant dogs and mama dogs with litters in shelters. 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.Herstal 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?

Contribute to Herstal's Dogecoin Stash!

100% of Herstal's Dogecoin balance will be sent to whoever adopts Herstal.
Adopt Herstal and Receive Dogecoin
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, Herstal's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Herstal's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Herstal, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Herstal's Dogecoin 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 Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. 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 Herstal was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Herstal’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Herstal’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, Herstal’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin 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!
