Meet Malone! This handsome boy came to us from a pound in rural Missouri. He had a rough start in life and wasn’t treated the way he deserves to be. Malone is a little shy but will warm up to anyone after a few sniffs and head scratches. His forever family should know that Malone is a fun and loving boy but will take a little bit of time and patience to show you this side of himself. Once he warms up to you, he loves to cuddle and rest his head on you. When he gets excited, like when he gets to go outside with his foster siblings, his teeth will chatter and he’ll do a “happy dance” – it’s the cutest! Malone is a very gentle and affectionate dog despite his rough start in life! Malone would love to have a furry sibling too!
