My story

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

Meet Malibu - a friendly and quiet 4-year-old dog with a sweet and loyal nature. On April 1, 2025, Malibu's owner sadly surrendered him to animal control, and he arrived at the shelter in with a bad ear infection. Thankfully, Malibu is now receiving the care he needs and is ready to find a loving forever home. Despite his rough start, Malibu is a handsome and adorable dog with a heart of gold. He may be a bit shy at first, but he warms up quickly to people once he feels comfortable. He enjoys quiet time and spending time lounging around, making him the perfect companion for a calm and peaceful home. He's a sweet and loyal dog who just wants a second chance at love and affection. Malibu is settling into shelter life thanks to the love of the staff and volunteers. He is a low-energy pup that would enjoy leisure walks and spending time with his family. He is quiet, sweet, and loyal and would make a wonderful addition to the right household. If you're looking for a handsome, loving, and loyal companion, Malibu may be the perfect fit. Please consider opening your heart and home to this sweet guy, and giving him the love and care he deserves.

More about this shelter

We are a non-profit orginization relying on donations. We do have a contract witht the county to provide shelter for strays brought in. We have limited space but try to get our animals back to thier families and if that can not be accomplished we work hard on finding them new homes.
We do what we do because we love animals. We are realistic in in efforts, understand the problem and work towards educating the public on what needs to be done to prevent over population.
