**MEET ME AT OUR 1/17 ADOPTION EVENT IN NEEDHAM!**Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: YesGood with kids: YesCrate trained: MostlyHouse Trained: YesMalia is a sweet, friendly girl who enjoys playful moments and loves exploring the yard before curling up for a cozy nap. Calm and gentle indoors, Malia is happiest lounging on the couch with her paws stretched in the air. She’s the perfect blend of laid-back and fun-loving, ready to bring endless joy to her forever family.Malia gets along wonderfully with everyone—dogs big and small, cats, kids, and adults alike. She currently lives with seven dogs ranging from 8 to 70 pounds and has not had an issue. She joins in gentle play when invited and always listens when asked to settle down. Cats? She mostly ignores them. Children? She’s met kids from ages 4 to 16 and done beautifully. Her easygoing nature makes her a great fit for a multi-pet household or a family with little ones.When it comes to training, Malia is house-trained and well-behaved when left out. While crating isn’t her favorite, she cooperates when guided and settles quickly. She walks nicely on leash after a brief burst of excitement and loves short strolls and yard time. Malia is on prescription food, so her new family should stick to her diet and offer salmon-based treats for extra smiles. With her calm demeanor and affectionate personality, she’s ready to make a lucky family very happy.If you are looking to open your home to a beautiful, easy-going pup, Malia is your girl!Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted.
