Bio:
Malak is a 6-year-old mixed breed with the biggest heart for people. He is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loves nothing more than cuddling up with the humans he trusts. Once he gets to know you, he’s a total love bug. Malak does best in a home without small children, as he has shown discomfort around them. For this reason, a child-free home (or one with older, dog-savvy kids) would be ideal for him to truly feel relaxed and safe. Several years ago, malak was attacked by another dog that was off leash. Since then, he has become selective and a bit unsure around certain dogs. A home with another dog is not completely off the table, but any potential canine sibling would need slow, proper introductions and time to adjust. Malak is currently not the only dog in his home and can coexist with the right match and management. Malak completed professional training through k9 fluent, which made a huge difference for him. He knows his commands well, responds to his e-collar, and is now able to go out and about comfortably. He also still has group training classes available, which can transfer to his new owner and would be a great resource to continue building his confidence and skills. Ideally, malak would have a yard to run around in, but as long as he gets consistent exercise through walks and activity, he will do just fine. He truly thrives with structure, patience, and understanding. Malak isn’t perfect — but he is deeply loving, loyal, and worth every bit of effort. In the right home, with someone who understands his needs and is willing to be patient, he will absolutely flourish. This rehoming decision was made with a heavy heart. With a 2-year-old at home and plans for another child, it’s simply no longer the right fit for malak — and he deserves a home where he can feel completely comfortable and safe. If you’re looking for a sweet, people-loving companion who just needs the right environment to shine, malak could be your perfect match. If interested please text me at 310-210-5204
