Malone Still Needs a Foster or Adopter to Secure His spot on the Mutt Life Dog Rescue January 2026 Transport from Arkansas.
Malone didn’t make it onto our December 6th transport to Wisconsin, but we’re hoping to bring him on our next transport from Arkansas in January — exact date TBD. He still needs a committed foster or adopter in order to secure his spot on that ride.
Meet Malone
Malone’s story is one of resilience and second chances. This sweet 3-year-old Shepherd mix has spent nearly his entire life in the shelter, arriving at just 5 weeks old. Now, he’s more than ready for a life filled with love, freedom, and fun.
Despite his long shelter stay, Malone has never let it dull his spirit. He has never met a stranger, is a total goofball, and brings joy wherever he goes. Friendly with everyone, he’s eager to be part of a family and finally experience the world the way a dog should.
Malone is heartworm negative and ready to hop on the transport as soon as he has a committed foster or adopter. At around 45 pounds, he’s the perfect medium-sized companion.

6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI.
