Meet Mali – A Spunky Girl With a Heart Full of Zoomies!
Mali is a beautiful young shepherd mix with a unique liver-colored coat and a very big personality. About a year old, this friendly, outgoing girl is full of love and even more full of energy. If you’re looking for a fun, adventurous companion who will keep you on your toes, Mali might just be your perfect match.
Mali is extremely people focused and eager for attention. Her enthusiasm can sometimes translate into jumping up to say hello. She’s working on her manners, but it’s hard to fault a dog this happy for wanting to be close to you. She’s crate trained, housebroken, knows how to sit, and makes fantastic eye contact—especially when there are treats involved. With her intelligence and food motivation, continued training should be a breeze.
This girl will need a fenced yard with a minimum 6 foot fence. While she doesn’t seem intent on escaping, Mali has serious prey drive and is on a one dog mission to rid the world of squirrels, birds, and anything else that dares enter her yard. Because of this, she needs a home with no cats or small dogs.
Mali enjoys playing with other dogs but has a rough and tumble play style that may be too much for more reserved pups. She’d likely do best with a confident male dog who can match her energy and playfulness.
Surprisingly, tennis balls only mildly interest her. She’ll chase them once, maybe twice, then return to more important things (like hunting squirrels). What she really needs is a person who’s active and outdoorsy, someone who’s up for hiking, running, and exploring the world together.
Mali is a joyful, vibrant dog who’s ready for a bit of guidance, a lot of love, and a family that embraces adventure.
