Malcolm

Meet Malcolm! This sensitive soul is looking for a patient and loving home where he can truly bloom. While the hustle and bustle of the shelter can be a little overwhelming for him at first, he has a wonderful, wiggly side just waiting to come out! The secret to Malcolm's heart? Delicious treats! He is a huge fan of snacks, especially hot dogs and cream cheese, which have been the key to helping him feel comfortable and safe. Once he's out of his kennel and spending time with people, his true personality shines. He has been known to lean into pets, showing off soft eyes and a happy, wiggly body that leans right into your hand for more affection. On walks, Malcolm is a curious boy who enjoys taking in all the smells and generally walks nicely on a leash. He has also proven to be a brave fellow during medical exams, staying focused and relaxed as long as there's some cream cheese to keep him occupied. Malcolm is looking for a friend who understands that he just needs a little bit of time and some positive reinforcement to feel his best.
