A little about them

Meet Kira, a 3-year-old purebred Belgian Malinois with a compact, pocket-sized build and a big personality. She brings the intelligence, drive, and work ethic Malinois are known for, while also knowing how to relax beside you on the couch.

Kira is affectionate with people of all ages and sizes. Once she bonds with her person, she is a loyal, devoted shadow. She has shown promise in beginner K9 detection testing and could be a great partner for nosework, dog sports, or other working activities. She may also be a first Malinois for someone ready to provide the training, exercise, and time this breed needs.

Ideal Home

  • Kira must be the only pet in the home: no dogs, cats, or other pets.
  • She also needs an only-dog lifestyle outside the home, without dog-social activities.
  • She would thrive with someone ready to commit to her training, exercise, and companionship.

Ongoing Health

  • Kira receives a full health checkup, heartworm and parasite testing, vaccinations, microchipping, and spay/neuter care before adoption.

Training & Support

  • Kira has started beginner K9 detection work and has shown promise.
  • She enjoys hiking and training but also has a genuine off switch for relaxing at home.

  • Begin the application process by contacting her provider through Wags.
