PACHIK

My story

Meet Pachik, a 1.5-year-old Belgian Shepherd mix with a look as captivating as his personality. He reminds you of a ruggedly charming pirate—or maybe a wolf straight out of a fairytale. With eyes that are almost otherworldly—expressive, curious, and impossible to ignore—Pachik is a head-turner, and he knows it. But Pachik is more than just handsome. He’s focused, intelligent, and high-drive, thriving on mental and physical challenges. From Sit and Stay to Rollover, Turnaround, and even Shake and Back—he learns quickly and loves to work. House-trained, crate-trained, and respectful indoors, Pachik is a true gentleman. He’s great with other dogs and people, calm in the car, and gentle around food and toys. Pachik will do best with a very active person or family who can give him a “job”—whether it’s agility, hiking, scent work, or a dedicated daily game of fetch. Whether you’re hitting the trails, or working from home, Pachik wants to be there with you. He bonds deeply with his people and prefers to stay close—so much so that he’s developed a hidden talent: he’s always exactly where your feet are about to land. It's his way of showing love…and perhaps subtly testing your balance. Because he thrives on connection, he experiences some separation anxiety and would be happiest in a home where someone is around most of the time. He’s content to wait in the car and it helps to have doggie friends around, but nothing beats being near his humans. Equal parts trail mate and snuggle buddy, he’s the best friend you could ask for —whether you’re chasing sunsets on the trail or winding down on the couch. Pachik is ready to begin his forever, with the people who will love him for every step and every snuggle to come.
