My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

ABOUT ME: Hiya, friends! Do you need a little pick-me-up? I'm your girl! My name is Coffee and just like your morning cup of joe, I'm sure to make any morning better... or any time of day really! I'm looking for a forever home, hopefully with you! I'm a clingy Malinois and will crawl in your lap if you let me. I am a 3 year old Malinois so please do your research on the breed before meeting me. I do like being on furniture so hopefully you won't mind.

NOTE: I do well in a crate and prefer to be in one if left alone. If you're a work from home person, I will stay by your feet and not leave your desk area. If dogs are allowed at your work, I'm a great travel companion and would be a great office dog. My foster home has 3 other large dogs I get along with (especially the younger playful GSD). I have explored Katy Trail in Dallas, walked around Reverchon Park, and stayed in down position during lunch with friends. My foster is working on manners and I do great walking beside you, sit, down, place, come, heel, load up, crate, and more. I can be very timid in new environments and probably didn't get out as much as a younger pup. I'm not very confident in new places, but with someone to guide me, I'll go anywhere with you.

HOME REQUIREMENTS: I Need a home with a securely-fenced yard. The fencing should be at least 6ft tall and wooden- I have hops!

KIDS: No kiddos under 5 please. I'd do better with older kids who can give me time to warm up to them! Please bring kids ages 6-11 to meet me. In foster, I did meet 5 kiddos at a car dealership during an oil change, and with proper introductions, I received a lot of attention.

DOGS: I prefer larger friends (at least 30 pounds). A pup who will give me space at first will probably be best. Making new friends can be a little nerve-wracking! It may take a few days for me to warm up since I can be a little insecure at first, but with the right dog, we will be playing and roughhousing like puppies. Please bring them in to meet first so we can see if we are a great match.

OTHER ANIMALS: No small animals for me thanks! Although, I do ignore the chickens at my foster home.

If you are interested in meeting me, Come on in. We are open 12noon-6pm every day.
