My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Malakai is a Courtesy Listing and is not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control accepts no responsibility for this pet. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pet's guardian. Malakai is an outdoor dog primarily. This is due to allergies causing oily skin and a pungent smell. If you have hard wood floors or tile, he really enjoys time inside, but he will ruin fabric or carpet. He is definitely more friendly with Women, being aggressive to unfamiliar men. We believe this is mostly due to high irritation, he's usually much more calm after a bath and mattes are trimmed off. Malakai doesn't go around children so it's not clear of his temperament around them. He will tolerate space with familiar dogs but will immediately attack unfamiliar animals. He does not like cats and will chase them. Malakai is very eager for trips and car rides, he loves walks and enjoys being groomed so long as you're sensitive and comforting. Malakai has issues, he's prone to ear infections, oily skin, and has some unknown bumps we haven't been able to get biopsies for. He's housebroken but won't tell you when he needs to go, which is why its suggested he's only let inside for up to 3-6 hours at a time, and he has a rough temperament to people he doesn't like. With all that said, if he likes you he is a really good dog, he's smart and has good manners.
