Meet Mala — She has been in foster care since April 2023, making her a long timer dog who’s patiently waiting for the right match — not just any home, but her home. Mala has a big personality, a bigger heart, and absolutely zero stranger danger. None. If you are a human, Mala is already planning to love you — enthusiastically and with her whole body. 💕
🐕 Personality & Social Vibes
Mala lives life at full volume — joyfully, energetically, and with total sincerity.
• Loves people — friends, strangers, guests, anyone with hands for pets
• Greets humans with full-body wiggles and enthusiastic affection
• Confident, playful, and socially bold
• Thrives on interaction, engagement, and being included
🧠 Smart & Trainable- Mala is incredibly intelligent and eager to learn.
• Knows basic commands and picks up new skills quickly
🐾 Dogs, Cats & Companions
• Enjoys active play with other dogs but has a confident, sometimes dominant play style
• Would do best as an only dog or with a calm, submissive canine companion
• Coexists with cats but prefers they don’t run — she finds that a bit too exciting
🏡 Home Match Notes
Mala is a big, strong, active, excitable dog who experiences emotions at full speed.
• She may jump up when excited
• Because of her strength and intensity, she would do best in a home without young children, who may not recognize or respect her boundaries
🚗 Adventure + Chill Balance
Mala is the perfect mix of fun and relaxation.
• Loves walks, car rides, and outdoor adventures
• Enjoys runs and active play
• Equally happy to crash on the couch for post-adventure snuggles
• Motto: Play hard, nap harder
✨ 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!
