Meet Malia 🤍

Malia is a 15 pound soft, shy little soul with kind eyes and a quiet sweetness that sneaks up on you. She may take a moment to warm up, but she is never snappy or reactive. Just cautious, thoughtful, and observant as she figures out the world around her.

She truly thrives around other dogs and gains confidence from their presence, making her a wonderful candidate for a home with a calm, friendly canine companion. She takes her cues from them and blossoms when she feels safe.

Malia is learning how to walk on leash and is making progress at her own pace. She’s very good in her crate, which she sees as a safe, cozy place to relax and reset. Structure, patience, and gentle encouragement go a long way with her.

She would do best in a quieter home with someone who understands that shy dogs aren’t broken, they’re just unfolding. With consistency and kindness, Malia will continue to build confidence and become a devoted, loving companion.

If you’re looking for a gentle dog who does best with other dogs and rewards patience with trust, Malia could be a beautiful match.
