Malibu's Story

Hello, Future Family! Ready for some love, cuddles, and playing fetch?<br/><br/>MALIBU: READY TO RUN, READY TO LOVE <br/><br/>Hi, I'm Malibu—part pittie, part Malinois, and all heart. I'm sweet, spunky, and ready to find a human who matches my vibe: active, committed, and looking for a loyal best friend.<br/><br/>At just around 2 years old, I've got energy to spare and a brain that loves to work. I need both physical and mental exercise every day—walks, runs, puzzle toys, training games, you name it. When I don't get that outlet, I get restless. A long stay in a kennel is not my thing. I'm built for adventure, connection, and movement.<br/><br/>‍ Let's move: Whether it's hiking, jogging, or biking, I'm up for it. I love to run alongside your bike, match your pace, and take in the world by your side.<br/><br/> I'm a smart cookie: I listen to commands and love learning new things. Give me a challenge, and I'll rise to it.<br/><br/> Kid compatibility: I do well with older kids (16+). The little ones? They're cute, but their unpredictability can make me nervous.<br/><br/> Cats: Hard no. They move too fast, and I'm just too tempted to chase.<br/><br/> House skills: I'm crate trained, very clean, and doing great with potty training.<br/><br/> Personality check: I'm playful, focused, and super excited about life. I'll be your loyal shadow, your running partner, and your cuddle bug once we've bonded. I do best as your one and only—but with me, you won't need anyone else.<br/><br/> Details:<br/><br/><br/> <br/> About 1.9 years old<br/> <br/> <br/> High energy<br/> <br/> <br/> Spayed<br/> <br/> <br/> Up to date on shots<br/> <br/> <br/> Best in an active home with older kids. Dogs? Only if it's a proper pairing. <br/> <br/><br/><br/>Ready to see what life could look like with a sweet, driven girl like me? Let's go. I've got the energy—and the love—you've been missing.<br/><br/>Let's thrive together. <br/><br/> Fully vetted, vaccinated, and house-trained<br/> Professionally trained in basics (sit, stay, walking on leash, etc) – includes 1 FREE trainer session at trainer's location for adopters<br/> Foster-to-adopt option available – all costs during fostering are covered by us - food, medical, etc
