The Rise Rescue Alliance

You were probably going to drink a beer today anyway 🤷‍♀️

Might as well make it count.

And if you're still there at 6:30pm, congratulations - you've accidentally found yourself at Bingo Night 😉

See you there.

Everybody keeps asking the same question:

“Are these the Malinois puppies?”
“Are these the Shepherd puppies?”

And honestly? We get it. The color is similar - and they've got those great pointy ears.

But plot twist:
These puppies are not Malinois.
They are not German Shepherds.

These little imposters are actually a Heinz 57. Most notably, mom was a mix of Lab, Akita, and Bully.

Which honestly explains a lot about their personalities — because despite the dramatic eyeliner and shepherdy looks, these puppies have been surprisingly easygoing and level-headed.

The dogs from this case overall have all been pretty chill, and these puppies seem to be following suit. They’re playful without being chaotic, social without being over the top, and they settle really nicely. They romp around, wrestle, take naps, and then go about their day like tiny functional members of society.

They’re also not the type that spend every waking second trying to destroy bedding, explode toys, or launch themselves off the walls. Which, if you’ve raised puppies before… you know is a gift.

That doesn’t mean they’re “no work” puppies. They are still puppies. They’ll need continued housebreaking, training, socialization, and all the normal puppy guidance as they grow up.

But based on what we’ve seen so far, we expect them to mature into pretty moderate-energy, family-friendly dogs rather than intense working-breed-level chaos machines they may resemble.

Basically: They may LOOK like they’re about to demand a full-time working dog career.

In reality, they’re more like: “Would love snacks, a walk and a couch, please.”
