If anyone local to Southampton adopts this dog, I’ll train her (mostly you) and provide all equipment (slip leash, E-collar, dog cot) for 🆓!

Why? May of 23’ is far too long for any dog to be at a rescue. This breed is incredible. She’s at a perfect age for training and being welcomed into a home. Skip the puppy crate and potty training - a three year old dog with a heart of gold is a dream.

If you read or share one thing today, please let it be this appeal for Skadi.
This beautiful 3-year-old Belgian Shepherd has been waiting for her forever home since May of 2023. That’s a year and a half of watching other dogs get adopted… of greeting new arrivals… of being a good girl and hoping her person would finally come. As the holidays approach, Skadi is quietly wishing that this season will finally be her turn.
She came to us as a stray through our friends in Baltimore, alongside her buddy Njord (who has been since adopted). We don’t know much about her past, but we know exactly who she is today: a fun, affectionate, whip-smart dog who loves life. She zooms around the play yard, sneaks in drive-by kisses, listens beautifully to her handlers, and melts into your chest when it’s cuddle time. She’s active, energetic, and ready for adventure - the perfect companion for someone with Belgian Shepherd or working-breed experience.
And yet… she’s still here. She has been wonderful with every volunteer, she allows all handling, she tries so hard - but she keeps getting overlooked.
Skadi doesn’t need perfect. She just needs someone who understands her breed, someone who sees her heart, someone who’s willing to give her the home she’s waited so long for.
Please help us find her person.
Share her story. Tag a friend. Reach out if you think she might be your match. Every share truly matters for a dog who’s been waiting this long.
Let’s give Skadi the only gift she wants this holiday season: a family to finally call her own.
She will come spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and 4dx tested.
