Kolton is a handsome four-year-old Belgian Malinois. He came from a shelter, so not much is known about his past. While it seems, he wasn't offered much training in the past, he is absolutely a quick learner. He has learned all the basics and continues to pick up more every day. He loves riding in the car and sticking his nose out the window to smell every scent the world has to offer. His other favorite thing in life is cuddling up and sleeping next to his person. He is crate trained and sleeps well in his crate all night long. He is a high energy boy and a bit of a Mexican jumping bean. He is exceptionally athletic and will need to be with somebody who will continue to provide him with the daily exercise and training that he enjoys. Kolton will do well with an active person who is always on to the next adventure. Level 3

Additional Adoption Information

For more information and to see when this dog will be attending an Adoption Day, please see our Dogs page on our main website. (Adoption Process) We operate within a reasonable driving distance from the Greater Sacramento area, the Central Valley down to Merced, and Lake Tahoe. A reasonable driving distance is determined by where one of our volunteers is willing to drive within our areas of service. That means we don't adopt out of our area, to Southern California, or out of state.

Puppy Requirements

We have special Requirements for Adopting a Puppy and a separate Puppy Questionnaire that must be completed on puppies. Please see our Requirements for Adopting a Puppy or email us at info@gcgsr.org for more information.
