About Malcom

Meet Malcom, a sweet 1.5-year-old Basenji who recently found himself at the shelter due to his owners' inability to care for him. This gentle guy has a shy demeanor but lights up when it comes to sitting, shaking hands, and laying down. He gets along well with other dogs, though he prefers to be fed separately to avoid being possessive of his food and toys. While Malcom is typically good with kids, he has shown some protective instincts over his yard and tends to chase off intruders. He’s learned to use a doggy door effectively, although he has had the occasional accident inside. Malcom is neutered and up-to-date on his vaccinations, except for rabies at this moment. If you're looking for a loving companion who thrives in a safe environment, Malcom would love to meet you! Ready to make a difference in his life? Apply today!
