Hi My Name is Mal! It's short for Malcolm. My foster parents named me after some space cowboy who wears a brown coat. I was found as a stray and taken to the animal hospital where my foster mommy works. I'm just over 50 pounds and about a year old but I still act like a puppy. I'm a fun loving very energetic lap dog who loves to snuggle. I really like other dogs and I REALLY like to play with them. I like cats, but I just don't understand why they won't play with me. I know all kinds of commands like sit, come, stay, and lay down, and just the other day I learned to give my paw when asked. I'm also crate trained and housebroken but I'm still young and need to go for a few more bathroom breaks then older dogs. If you are looking for a very energetic, loving and loyal dog who is eager to learn and snuggle then I'm your guy.
Name: Mal
Breed: Pit bull mix (Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.)
Age: 1-2 years old
Weight: 52 pounds
Reason for surrender to shelter: Mal was found as a stray.

Shelter Info...
PAWS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving Philadelphia’s homeless, abandoned, and unwanted animals. PAWS is Philadelphia’s largest no-kill shelter and is working to make it a place in which every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home. PAWS rescues animals at the city’s animal control shelter that are in the greatest danger of being euthanized and places them either up for adoption or into temporary foster homes. Through its adoption locations, special events, and foster care network, PAWS finds loving homes for thousands of animals each year. Support for PAWS funds lifesaving programs such as adoption and foster care, low-cost vaccinations, spay/neuter surgeries, and other efforts, all of which reduce and will ultimately eliminate the unnecessary killing of Philadelphia’s homeless animals.
