Kira's Story

Meet Kira! A 3 year young, purebred Belgian Malinois in a compact, pocket rocket package. Mal people, this one's for you. Kira has the brains, drive and work ethic Mals are known for, all packed into a pocket-sized frame. Here's the twist: she knows how to turn it off. Hit the trail, run some drills, then find her curled up next to you on the couch like she's been waiting for you all day. (She has.)<br/><br/>With people, Kira is pure LUV. Kids, grandparents, big guys, tiny humans: she's never met a person she didn't want to snuggle. And once she decides you're her person? That's it. She's your shadow, your wingwoman, your ride or die.<br/><br/>She's also got real brains. Kira has already put her nose to work in beginner K9 detection testing and showed promise, so if you're into nosework, dog sports or want a working partner, she's ready to clock in. Never had a Mal? She could be your first, as long as you're ready to give her the training, exercise and time a Malinois needs to thrive.<br/><br/>Kira's Highlights<br/>* 3 years young, purebred Belgian Malinois in a compact, pocket rocket package<br/>* The ultimate LUV bug with every human she meets, of any age or size<br/>* Only-pet home required (non-negotiable). No dogs, cats or other pets in the home, and only-dog life out in the world too.<br/>* Has a real off switch: happy to hike and train, just as happy on the couch<br/>* Velcro dog: once she picks her person, she's your ride or die<br/>* Started beginner K9 detection work, so she's a strong candidate for a working, sport or nosework home<br/>* Could be a great first Mal for someone ready to commit the time and energy<br/>* Has been waiting far too long for her furever home<br/><br/>She has one non-negotiable: Kira needs to be your one and only.

First things first, make sure to thoroughly fill out the adoption application. Help us, help you! Be as detailed as possible in your application. This helps us get to know you, your personality, lifestyle, and wants with your potential new furbaby. Once you've submitted your application, please allow at least 48 hours for our team to review it. If your application is approved, and we think you’re a good match, one of our dedicated team members will follow-up with you to coordinate a phone interview. If our team agrees you’re a good match, we’ll arrange a meet and greet with the dog you’re applying for and their foster. If all goes well during meet and greet and you would like to move forward, the final step required is a home check and a completed adoption agreement/contract.
