Kristoff - Belgian Shepherd Malinois Dog for Adoption in Glendale, Arizona

ADOPTION OF A PUPPY UNDER 9 MONTHS OF AGE

The dog you are interested in is a puppy (under a year old). We have criteria for our adoptions of puppies. Puppies are adopted on a foster-to-adopt basis until the puppy is old enough to be neutered/spayed (we prefer them to be no younger than 7 months for females and 9 months for males). Houses with pools must demonstrate that puppies can be protected from the pool with fencing or a cover. Home visits for shots will be required, so puppies are adopted to homes in Maricopa County only. Puppies often have multiple potential adopters, so SPR evaluates what home is best matched with any given puppy and their expected home needs once they have grown.

Meet Kristoff Your Adventure Buddy Is Waiting!

Kristoff is a handsome young Belgian Malinois, approximately 7 months old, with a heart as big as his energy level! This sweet, affectionate boy is looking for an active, experienced home that understands the incredible drive and intelligence of the Malinois breed.

Kristoff's story began when a kind family discovered him wandering out of the desert and into their backyard. He was extremely thin and clearly had been fending for himself. Thanks to their compassion, Kristoff now has a second chance at finding the loving home he deserves.

This boy absolutely loves being with his people. If he can't be by your side, he'll happily try to visit the neighbors—or the other dogs! Kristoff is an excellent jumper and can clear a fence with ease, so he will need a very secure yard and a family committed to safely managing his environment.

As a typical young Malinois, Kristoff has endless enthusiasm and a sharp mind. He isn't looking for just one job—he'll thrive with several jobs to keep both his body and mind busy. Whether it's hiking, running, agility, scent work, obedience, or another dog sport, Kristoff is happiest when he has a purpose and someone to share the adventure with.

Because of his energy level and working-drive, Kristoff is looking for a very experienced handler who understands the needs of the breed and is committed to providing structure, training, and daily mental and physical exercise.

If you're searching for a loyal, intelligent partner who is ready to take on life's adventures with you, Kristoff may be the perfect match. Give this incredible young boy the opportunity he's been waiting for, and he'll reward you with unwavering loyalty, endless love, and a lifetime of unforgettable memories.

If you're looking for a playful, affectionate, and well-mannered companion who is already sleeping through the night, potty trained, and building great leash skills, Kristoff may be the perfect addition to your family.
