Malleus is a lovable senior pittie with a big blocky head, an even bigger heart, and one main goal in life: getting as much affection from people as possible. He may chat with you a little when he wants attention, but it’s all part of his sweet and charming way of asking for pets, love, and companionship. This handsome guy is easy to leash, calm leaving his kennel, and walks nicely on leash while staying engaged with his people. Malleus is very treat motivated, takes snacks gently, and already knows “sit” — though he’s usually a little too excited about treats and attention to hold it for long! He’s the kind of dog who simply wants to be near his humans, soaking up affection and returning it tenfold. Malleus is available for adoption or foster and would love a comfy place to relax, cuddle, and spend his golden years being adored the way he deserves.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
