Kristoff

Meet Kristoff, your adventure buddy is waiting! Kristoff is a handsome, approximately 7-month-old Belgian Malinois with a heart as big as his energy level! This sweet, affectionate boy is looking for an active, experienced home that understands the incredible drive and intelligence of the Malinois breed. Kristoff's story began when a kind family discovered him wandering out of the desert and into their backyard. He was extremely thin and clearly had been fending for himself. Thanks to their compassion, Kristoff now has a second chance at finding the loving home he deserves.

This boy absolutely loves being with his people. If he can't be by your side, he'll happily try to visit the neighbors—or the other dogs! Kristoff is an excellent jumper and can clear a fence with ease, so he will need a very secure yard and a family committed to safely managing his environment. As a typical young Malinois, Kristoff has endless enthusiasm and a sharp mind. He isn't looking for just one job—he'll thrive with several jobs to keep both his body and mind busy. Whether it's hiking, running, agility, scent work, obedience, or another dog sport, Kristoff is happiest when he has a purpose and someone to share the adventure with. Because of his energy level and working-drive, Kristoff is looking for a very experienced handler who understands the needs of the breed and is committed to providing structure, training, and daily mental and physical exercise. If you're searching for a loyal, intelligent partner who is ready to take on life's adventures with you, Kristoff may be the perfect match. Give this incredible young boy the opportunity he's been waiting for, and he'll reward you with unwavering loyalty, endless love, and a lifetime of unforgettable memories. Kristoff is also a playful, affectionate, and well-mannered companion who is already sleeping through the night, potty trained, and building great leash skills.
