My story

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

Hey there! I'm Mala and I'm probably the happiest girl you will ever meet. I'm an active girl who loves to play with my best friend, Bob. I love toys/bones, and I'm very smart. If my foster mom wasn't lazy, I'd probably know more than the basic commands. So if you want to teach me more tricks I'd pick them up real quick. I've even taught best friend Bob how to sit. Foster mom was struggling to teach him so I took over.

I like people, a lot. Sometimes I forget that I'm not supposed to jump up and give them kisses on the face. But in my defense who doesn't want to know they are loved? I've learned to coexist with the felines in my foster home and I'll leave them alone if they stay away from me and don't run when they see me. I do have a dominant personality but I also really like to play. So maybe if you have a submissive dog and are looking to get them a friend? I could be that dog! But I'd also do great as an only dog. I love car rides and walks or if running is your thing that's fun too. I'm pretty athletic so whatever fun things you want to do I'm sure I'll be good at them too! I also really love snuggles and naps on the couch. Play hard, and relax often is my motto.
