About Rito

Meet Rito, an energetic and affectionate Belgian Malinois ready to find his forever home. At 5 years old and weighing 65 pounds, Rito has blossomed since being rescued from a South LA shelter. He's intelligent, eager to please, and his goofy side truly shines when he's given proper guidance. Rito carries his food bowl around, perhaps seeking comfort from it, and he's house-trained. He does well with large dogs when introduced properly, but he's not suited for apartments or homes with small children. Ideally, he needs an adult-only environment where he can thrive, receiving plenty of physical exercise and mental enrichment. This handsome Malinois is searching for an experienced owner, preferably someone familiar with high-energy working breeds. Rito would thrive in a calm, structured home with boundaries that challenge his mind and meet his physical demands. Whether it's agility, advanced obedience, or scent work, Rito has the potential to shine outside of just being a loyal companion. He’s currently in Santa Monica, CA, and ready for adoption throughout California and the Pacific Northwest. Ready to make Rito a part of your family? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
