Dexter - Belgian Shepherd Malinois Dog for Adoption in Pleasant Hill, California

Meet Dexter!

Dexter is an adult Belgian Malinois who definitely missed the memo about Mals being nonstop go-go-go. He's a surprisingly chill guy who is easy to have around and gets along great with other dogs.

But Dexter's absolute favorite? Kids. He LOVES them and is happiest soaking up all the attention they're willing to give him.

He rides great in the car, walks beautifully on leash, and is always happy to settle into his crate for a meal. In fact, Dexter takes mealtime pretty seriously... which may or may not explain why he's carrying a tiny bit of extra fluff.

If you love the intelligence and loyalty of a Mal but wouldn't mind one with a slightly more relaxed approach to life, Dexter might just be your guy.
