🌟 Introducing Malachi, a once-in-a-lifetime pup who's ready to steal hearts and bring joy to a loving family! This outgoing and adorable boy, who joined our shelter family on August 2nd alongside his brother Boris, has a vibrant personality that lights up any room (or dog park)! 🐾 Malachi thrives in calm environments and loves the company of gentle dogs. He can feel a bit overwhelmed in boisterous playgroups, so if your home has a laid-back buddy who matches his energy, navigate the introductions with care! Together or solo, this sweet, affectionate boy is eager to find his forever home, filled with love and laughter. Can you feel his enthusiasm already? 💖🐶 On a recent outing, Malachi showered his volunteer with love and gratitude. Initially bursting with excitement, he quickly calmed down and enjoyed a pleasant mile-long walk. He leaned in for head pets, wagging his tail like a tiny propeller, showering kisses as if it was his full-time job! 🥰 After a little adventure, he even relaxed in the shade of a beautiful tree—an absolute sweetheart! Now, let’s talk about some health concerns. Unfortunately, Malachi is battling an upper respiratory infection, as he has been on medication but now seems to exhibit more severe symptoms. His adorable little body is bravely fighting this, and he needs a patient family that can help him make a full recovery. 🏥💔 A funny little quirk we've noticed is his tendency to chew on the water pail handle when feeling overstimulated. Perhaps he is just expressing his inner artist? 🎨🦷 Malachi does get along well with other dogs, but he thrives best with one that's mellow. His puppy energy and eagerness to play can get a bit rambunctious, so a little guidance in the manners department would do wonders! 🐕‍🦺✨ Malachi would thrive in a loving home that values calm introductions and a bit of training—not too much to ask for such a lovebug! He's not just a dog; he’s a whole bundle of joy just waiting to be embraced by you! ❤️🌈 **A Call to Action:** This little guy is considered urgent and must find his forever home by a specific deadline. Time is of the essence! Don’t wait—apply to adopt Malachi through the **Buddy App**! Together, you can give him the happy ending he deserves! 🏡🥳
