Malone Has Arrived in Wisconsin and Is Settling into His Foster Home
Malone arrived safely in Wisconsin and it’s easy to see why he was a shelter favorite. This happy, go-lucky boy is settling in wonderfully — and we can’t help but mention his good looks.
Meet Malone
Malone’s story is one of resilience and second chances. This sweet 3-year-old Shepherd mix entered the shelter at just 5 weeks old and spent nearly his entire life waiting for a chance at a real home. Now, he’s finally getting to experience the comforts of home life and is thriving.
Despite his long shelter stay, Malone has never let it dull his spirit. He is a total goofball, brings joy wherever he goes and is friendly with everyone, he’s eager to be part of a family and finally experience the world the way a dog should.
From his Foster:
Malone is a total love bug — he leans into anyone who pets him for a hug and may even try to sneak in a gentle kiss. He’s food-motivated, takes treats very gently, and is eager to please.
Malone gets along great with our resident dogs and loves to play with them. He can be dog selective and because of that we are recommending he go to an only dog home. He also enjoys toys and happily chews on a bone when it’s time to relax. It truly breaks our hearts that Malone has spent his entire life in a shelter, because he is such a joyful, affectionate dog with so much love to give. He is an easy dog to foster. He continues to learn house manners and recently mastered the “sit” command.
Malone likes to rest on his crate — it’s his new thing. He also still does really well in it and puts himself to bed in it at night.
