Malibu arrived at just five weeks old, part of a surrendered litter, and has grown up at the rescue. He’s always been on the reserved side, relying on his siblings—and now, other dogs—for confidence and learning social skills. Malibu is sharp, but his focus is usually on his canine companions instead of people, so he’ll thrive with an experienced adopter who understands shy, pack-oriented breeds. He may seem wary of new people at first, but he’ll gradually warm up as he gets comfortable. Underneath that caution is a sweet, playful, and active personality. Malibu needs a home where he gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation; the husky in him likes to stay busy. He’ll do best with another friendly dog around, one that can show him the ropes. Malibu is already a big boy for his age and, while he gets along well with older children, he’s still learning to navigate his own size—so a home without small kids is safest for now. He’s potty and dog-door trained, though still pees with excitement occasionally, which should fade with time. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
