This happy, go-lucky boy is settling in wonderfully — and we can’t help but mention his good looks.<br/><br/>Meet Malone<br/>Malone’s story is one of resilience and second chances. This sweet 3-year-old Shepherd mix entered the shelter at just 5 weeks old and spent nearly his entire life waiting for a chance at a real home. Now, he’s finally getting to experience the comforts of home life and is thriving.<br/><br/>Despite his long shelter stay, Malone has never let it dull his spirit. He is a total goofball, brings joy wherever he goes and is friendly with everyone, he’s eager to be part of a family and finally experience the world the way a dog should.<br/><br/>From his foster:<br/>Malone did amazing with his first bath and slept through the night in his crate without a single peep. He is a total lovebug who leans into anyone who pets him for a hug and may even try to sneak in a gentle kiss. He’s food motivated, takes treats very gently, and is eager to please.<br/><br/>Malone gets along great with the resident dogs in his foster home and loves to play with them. He also enjoys toys and happily chews on a bone when it’s time to relax. It truly breaks our hearts that Malone spent his entire life in a shelter, because he is such a joyful, affectionate dog with so much love to give.<br/><br/>Potty training is underway and going very well. He is crate trained and walks nicely on leash.<br/><br/>Malone’s Info<br/>Age: 3 years<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Weight: 45 lbs<br/>Breed: Shepherd mix<br/>Spayed/Neutered: Yes<br/>Potty Trained: In progress<br/>Crate Trained: Yes<br/>Leash Manners: Doing well<br/>Good with Dogs: Yes<br/>Good with Cats: Not tested (can be)<br/>Good with Kids: Yes<br/><br/>Malone is ready for a forever home where he can continue to blossom and finally live the life he’s always deserved.<br/><br/>Apply to foster or adopt Malone at<br/>www.muttlife.org<br/><br/>__________<br/><br/>Adoption fees include the cost of spay/neuter procedure, up to date dewormer,  vaccinations, and heart worm prevention (age appropriate).<br/><br/>NOTE: THE BREED LISTED FOR EACH DOG IS OUR BEST GUESS WITH THE HELP OF OUR VETERINARIANS.
