Meet Wednesday 🐾
Meet our beautiful girl, Wednesday—a loyal, intelligent, and loving Malinois/Lab mix who has been waiting far too long for her second chance.
Wednesday is around 6–7 years old and truly one of the most remarkable dogs we’ve had. She’s incredibly smart, highly attentive, and thrives when she has a purpose. With her gentle nature and affectionate personality, she absolutely adores children and greets everyone she meets with kisses and a wagging tail.
But here’s the part that’s hard to hear…
Wednesday has spent over 600 days—more than a year and a half—waiting in a kennel for someone to choose her. And that doesn’t even include the time she spent waiting to be rescued before she arrived here.
Despite all of that, she hasn’t lost her spirit.
Why Wednesday is So Special
- 💕 Craves love, affection, and cuddles
- 🐾 Loves walks, running, and playtime
- 🛋️ Happy to relax and be a couch companion
- 🎓 Extremely intelligent and eager to learn
- ⭐ Excellent on a leash—truly a joy to walk
- 🏡 Crate trained and potty trained
Wednesday has received professional training and knows her basic commands. She would thrive in a home where she is respected and given the structure and love she deserves.
She does best with most dogs (a male companion or as your one-and-only “princess” 👑 would be ideal) and would prefer a home without cats.
She Deserves a Home
A dog’s life is already too short… and Wednesday has spent so much of hers waiting.
She doesn’t need perfection.
She just needs a chance.
Whether you’re ready to adopt or even just foster and give her a break from kennel life, you could be the person who changes everything for her.
Come Meet Wednesday
If you feel that connection, don’t wait.
