Looking for a happy-go-lucky, playful pup with a heart of gold? Meet Mala, a spirited American Pit Bull Terrier who lives life to the fullest and loves hard. Whether she’s zooming around the yard with her best friend Bob or curled up for a cozy nap, Mala brings joy and energy to every moment.
Mala is incredibly smart and eager to learn—she already knows the basics and is more than ready to level up her skills (she even helped teach Bob how to sit when foster mom was struggling!). Give her a little time and some treats, and she’ll master any trick you throw her way.
She adores people and greets everyone with full-body tail wags and enthusiastic affection—sometimes a bit too enthusiastically, but she just wants you to know how much she loves you! With a little continued training, she’ll be a perfect mix of manners and exuberance.
Mala coexists with the cats in her foster home, though she prefers when they give her space and don’t run (who can resist a good chase?). She has a dominant personality with other dogs, so she’d likely do best as an only dog or with a calm, submissive canine companion who enjoys active play.
She’s the perfect mix of adventure and chill—Mala loves car rides, walks, and even runs if that’s your thing. But after the fun? She’s all about snuggles on the couch and a good nap. Play hard, relax often is her motto.
If you’re looking for a smart, athletic, loving dog who will make you laugh, keep you active, and snuggle you silly—Mala just might be the one for you.
Mala is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know her in your home before finalizing the adoption. It’s a great way to ensure the perfect fit!
