About Hodor

Hodor is a Belgian Shepherd / Malinois puppy who came to the rescue with his littermates when their former owner could no longer care for them. He fits the Malinois reputation—curious, sharp, and always on alert. Hodor is eager to patrol the yard and checks out anything that moves, littermates included. He’s bold and confident on leash, usually steady unless another person walks by, in which case he wants to say hello. This breed can be mouthy (hence the nickname 'Maligator'), so an adopter with Malinois or working dog experience is required. While Hodor can be cuddly and settles down once he trusts you, he’s happiest when he’s busy and learning. He’s not yet house trained but will sleep clean overnight in his crate. He does not get along with cats, but does well with other dogs. Hodor is currently in Rome, GA, and transport can be arranged for the right home. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
