About Malouk

Meet Malouk, a 12-year-old, 85 lb German Shepherd with a gentle soul, a loving heart, and so much quiet companionship to give. He came to us as an owner surrender after his person passed away. Over the following year, he wasn't getting the care he needed, so he was surrendered to give him a chance at the safe, loving life he deserves. Now, he's ready to find a home where he can truly be cared for and cherished. This sweet senior is blind, but don't let that fool you - he navigates life with resilience and still enjoys the simple things he loves most: walks, naps, and treats (lots of treats!). Every now and then, he even gets a little playful spark. Malouk is incredibly friendly with people and has a soft spot for kids, making him a wonderful, gentle presence in the right family.

Ideal Home

Malouk thrives in a calm, low-key home where he can feel safe and settled. He would be perfectly happy as an only pet, but he also does well with calm, respectful dogs and even cats who understand he spooks easily due to being blind.

Ongoing Health

Malouk can experience some anxiety due to his blindness, but he does very well with calming medication and a consistent environment.

Training & Support

Malouk is potty trained, though he may mark indoors (he was only recently neutered), and belly bands have been a simple, effective solution. He will also need continued leash training, as he can pull - especially when he's excited or unsure. He finds comfort in his crate and does best when crated while alone.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transporation

Malouk is located in Texas but can be adopted locally or out of state. We coordinate safe transport and offer video meet-and-greets to ensure it's the perfect fit.
