About Malcolm
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.
10/9/25 Malcolm! Before anyone says it or thinks it, no that's not on his bum, that's just his markings!
Malcolm is a graduate of the Paws in Proson program. He was paired with inmate trainers for 8 weeks and lived in the prison with the inmates. They worked with him on all the basics (leash training, house training, basic commands etc). It's a wonderful program!
Malcolm-
housetrained, crate trained, leash trained
good with other dogs, cats, and kids
has mastered all basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, down, come, heel, as well as some fun tricks too.
Malcolm is a big boy, but he has no idea he's not pocket-sized. We believe he is an Akita mix.
He's about 1-2 years old and weighs 70 pounds and could add another 5 before the growing is done.
He is neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.
Info from his foster mom-
"I have been off most of this week and I can say without a doubt he truly is the big goofball that Paws in Prison said he is!
He is doing fine with the cats. It looks like he wants to hurt them the way he bounces, but it is just play. They have met a few times, and he is starting to ignore them. That's where his "bull in a China shop" reputation comes from, I think. He does not know he is big. He loves to snuggle on the couch and in bed.
He has not had any accidents. He is awesome in the crate. When I got home from work, he was hyper. He loves long walks, he loves water, and he loooooves men. He is playing well with my dogs, but I think he would also do well as an only dog. I have only been asking him to heel on walks when a car comes. He sniffs and does not pull when he is not in heel. Most people probably think that is good enough, lol.
He is a city boy. He got all excited about a dead worm in the road. He leaned his shoulder down into it and rolled. My guys save that kind of energy for bear poo. "
