About Malachi

Malachi is an incredible 10-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound looking for a forever home where he can enjoy all the comforts of indoor life. After spending much of his years chained outside, he’s finally experiencing the joys of a cozy bed and loving companionship. This 60-pound gentle giant loves lounging and will find the best spot on the couch to nap away the day. He’s excellent at being left loose in his foster home without causing a fuss, and he’s fully house trained. Malachi knows how to communicate when it’s time to go outside. Despite his laid-back nature, he thoroughly enjoys his walks, taking his time to sniff around and explore his surroundings. Just a reminder, as a hound, he follows his nose, so a leash is essential when you’re outside a securely fenced area. Malachi is friendly with everyone—dogs, cats, and people alike. His ideal home would have a soft place to rest, lots of love, and some outdoor exploration to engage his playful spirit. After a lifetime of outdoor living, he deserves a cozy indoor life full of love and care. Ready to give Malachi the happy ending he deserves? Click apply to start the adoption process.
