We can't believe we've only had Malea for 9 months! We have all grown to love her so much. Of course, she's still the faithful, loyal dog she always was ...but she is so much healthier now. She's gained 20 pounds since she was originally found and her fur has gone from being very wiry to being soo soft and gorgeous. We have so much fun playing ball and keep away with her!

Malea is enjoying her big back yard!

Malea was a spayed, female, 1.5-2 year old black/red German Shepherd Dog that was sweet and gentle. She loved to sit and be petted,but would also go lay down when you were doing something. She knew basic commands such as "sit" and "down," and she was very good on a leash which was such a arm saver! She came when called and would stay close when off-lead. She obviously was somebody's dog. She loved to fetch, and if you asked her to go get her ball, she will search until she found it! She seemed to be fine around dogs and cats and didn't have any food or toy aggression. She had also been around a one and a half year old and did wonderfully with him (under a careful eye of course!) Malea was house and crate trained. She had NEVER had an accident and had the house to roam while her foster mom was at work. Really, this dog was a dream!
