About Rito

Meet Rito, a lively and playful Belgian Malinois eager to find his forever home. At 5 years old and 65 pounds, Rito was rescued from a South LA shelter and has made significant strides in training and foster care. This lovable goofball often carries his food bowl, showcasing his quirky personality. Rito is intelligent and eager to please, responding well to structure, and he is house-trained and friendly with dogs when introduced properly. As a high-energy working breed, Rito would thrive best in a home with someone experienced in handling dogs like him. He has the potential to shine in activities like agility or scent work, but he needs someone who understands the demands of keeping him mentally stimulated and physically active. Rito's ideal environment is calm, structured, and active, suited for adults only or older teens. He does well with larger dogs with the right introductions. Currently in Santa Monica, CA, Rito is available for adoption across California and the Pacific Northwest. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
