Malibu is a stunning 4-year-old mixed-breed boy who has overcome a difficult past. He arrived at a Houston kill shelter with no microchip, not neutered, and clearly not cared for. Discarded on the streets, his life was in danger until Animal Control intervened. Now fully vetted and safe, Malibu is on the road to recovery from heartworm. He has received a ProHeart 12 injection and is completing a 30-day course of doxycycline as part of his slow-kill treatment. Despite his hardships, Malibu's spirit shines through. He is playful, sweet, deeply affectionate, and calm once he settles in. He cherishes human interaction and shows the joy of a dog who's been given a second chance. Malibu is ready for his next adventure and a loving family to call his own.
