About Malouk

Meet Malouk, a 12-year-old German Shepherd with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. This 85-pound sweetheart is looking for a peaceful home where he can be cherished. After suffering the loss of his owner and a year without the care he deserves, Malouk is now ready to embrace a loving family. Though he's blind, Malouk doesn't let that stop him. He navigates life with resilience, enjoying walks, cozy naps, and plenty of treats. Occasionally, you might even catch a playful spark from him! He thrives in calm environments, making him perfect as an only pet or with calm, respectful dogs and understanding cats. In addition to being friendly with people, Malouk adores kids and has a soft, gentle presence that would enrich any family. He does experience some anxiety due to his blindness, but he benefits greatly from a consistent routine and calming medication. Crate training has helped him find comfort, and he does best when crated while alone. Malouk is potty trained and will need some continued leash training, as he can pull when excited or uncertain. If you're looking for a steady companion to share sweet moments, Malouk is ready to remind you that some of life's best treasures are the simple ones. Click apply to start the adoption process.
