Meet Rito, our charming and playful Belgian Malinois looking for his forever home. At five years old and weighing 65 pounds, Rito is a neutered male who thrives on structure and guidance. He originally came from the South LA shelter and has flourished in training and foster care, but now he’s ready for a committed adopter who can match his energy. This lovable goofball has a unique personality, carrying his food bowl around like it’s his emotional support item. He’s intelligent, eager to please, and fun-loving, making him a delightful companion. House-trained and dog-friendly with the right introductions, Rito will do best in an adult-only home or one with older, respectful teens. Being a working breed, he needs someone experienced with high-drive dogs who can provide daily physical exercise and mental challenges. Rito enjoys the company of large dogs and requires a calm and structured environment where he can thrive. He is not a protection dog, but with his drive, activities like agility or advanced obedience would be perfect for him. Currently located in La Center, Washington, Rito is available for adoption throughout California and the Pacific Northwest. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
