Not just another black dog.
Malachi was found with his siblings on the side of the road by someone driving by. They stopped to pick up the puppies and discovered a deceased mom as well as some of the littermates. Four puppies were still alive. The person took them home and got them clean and fed. They were all very wormy and they tried everything they knew to do, but unfortunately 2 more of the puppies passed before reaching out for more experienced help. That person put them in touch with us. Malachi went into a foster home for about a month during the frigid weather. He was an excellent house guest. He is dog friendly with all of the dogs in the resident and is submissive with the grouchy ones. He takes correction very easily from the pack. He is your typical goofy large Lab teenager. He has lots of energy and wants to play and run. He has thoroughly been loving the fenced in back yard where he can run and play chase. He is crate trained and only has had a few accidents in his crate since he has been in his foster home. He has had no accidents in the house and has not marked at all. He has excellent recall and loves to play fetch. He knows basic commands such as “sit”, “stay”, and learning not to jump up on people. He is UTD on vaccines, heartworm negative and is neutered. He has been with us since he was 8 weeks old. He came to in April 2024.
