• “Malibu is around 9/10 years old. Adopted her through my old daycare job which got her from GCAC. She’s a lover, but pure hound so she does bark a lot. She loves everyone though and gets along with other dogs as long as they aren’t too in her face due to her age. Likes to be left alone or play with her brother.“

  — Mitchi A.

• “Malibu is sweet, intelligent, brave, and a goofy angel baby. He is AKC Canine Good Citizen certified. He loves people and dogs. He loves walking the neighborhood, hiking, and swimming - especially a good creek or a private pool. He is really good at communicating his needs. Malibu is extremely well behaved and frequently goes out to eat and shopping with his parents. He is well traveled and happy to go out on the town or lay around at home. He openly roams his home (and hotels!) and has never had an indoor accident or damaged any property.“

  — Schellie H.
