Sammy; intact Belgian Malinois mix; est. 9 months; 49.20 lbs Contact: Calaveras County Animal Services (209)754-6509 Website: https://animal.calaverasgov.us/ Email: animal@calaverascounty.gov Sammy is a delightfully friendly boy. He is very quiet. Sammy is a lover, not a fighter. He is super cuddly, loves to hug and crawl into laps for snuggles and kisses, and bonds quickly with a variety of people. He does jump for attention, so a home with older children may be best. He is very people-oriented, frequently checking in with his handler and rubbing into their legs. Walking him is pleasant, though we do need to mind we don't tangle our feet with his; he sticks that close! Sammy is gorgeous, inside and out. He loves people and he is great with other dogs, as well, grouchy dominant males notwithstanding. The Malinois breed is famed for intelligence, athleticism, and loyalty. They do need appropriate levels of exercise and stimulation to thrive. Our guess is that Sammy, at his young age, has the potential to become a wonderful member of an active family. Sammy will need to be neutered before he can go home with you. He keeps his inner kennel tidy, which is promising, though we cannot make guarantees on house training. No cats for Sammy! As always, a meet-and-greet is required if you have other dogs at home.
