About Malibu
Malibu is a 1-year-old spayed female Chihuahua-Terrier mix weighing about 10 pounds. This young pup is looking for a loving home and is eligible for our foster-to-adopt program. She's predicted to be a low challenge for beginner dog owners, making her a great choice for first-time adopters or those with relevant experience in caring for dogs, like fostering or dog sitting. Malibu has a medium energy level and will need daily walks or brisk exercise totaling about 60 minutes, plus additional short potty breaks. Engaging her mind is also important, so activities like training sessions and puzzle toys will help her thrive. As she’s new to the rescue, we’re still learning about her adaptability to city life, but adult dogs typically adjust well once they settle into their surroundings. Socially, Malibu is friendly with dogs and potentially okay with cats, but we can provide updates as we observe her interactions. While we haven’t yet tested her with children, we recommend supervision with kids aged 8 and up during initial introductions. Good news—she’s house trained, so transitioning to your home should go smoothly with consistent routines. Want to make Malibu a part of your family? Click apply to start the adoption process.
