Meet Mali, a young shepherd mix with a striking liver-colored coat and a big, adventurous personality. Around a year old, Mali is all about action and affection—she's always ready to greet you with enthusiasm (sometimes a little too enthusiastically, thanks to those happy jumps). Underneath all that energy, she's smart, food-motivated, and eager to please, already crate trained, housebroken, and mastering the basics like "sit." Mali thrives with people and wants nothing more than to be right where the fun is. She's best suited for a home with a securely fenced yard (at least six feet tall) because her intense prey drive means she’s on constant lookout for squirrels, birds, and anything else that moves. She absolutely cannot live with cats or small dogs. When it comes to other dogs, she’s happiest with rough-and-tumble play, so a confident, playful male dog might be the ideal companion, while more reserved pups could find her a handful. Outdoorsy, active folks will love Mali’s energy and love of adventure—she prefers hiking or exploring over endless games of fetch. If you’re seeking a spirited, joyful dog and don’t mind a bit of guidance while she learns her manners, Mali could be your perfect fit. Fun fact: Born June 1, Mali is a Gemini—curious, adaptable, and ready for new places and faces. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
