This young, 54-pound Malinois mix is a thoughtful, sensitive girl who’s still learning that the world can be a kind place. Nyx can be shy with new people and startles at unfamiliar sounds—but with a moment of patience (and a few treats!), she’ll bravely step forward, offer a sit, and lean in for gentle chin scratches that blossom into trust and affection.
Nyx enjoys dog playgroups and loves a good chase-style game. She’d do well with appropriately paired canine friends, or she could be your one-and-only with dog buddies on the side. True to her breed, she’s smart, active, and eager to learn, looking for an experienced, patient adopter who can provide structure, enrichment, and plenty of physical and mental outlets.
