My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Maleficent, AKA Mally!!

Mally came from an awful situation where she was used as a breeding dog along with 18 others. This dog has a heart of gold and a wonderful personality. She LOVES everyone she meets; however she does not love other dogs.

Mally needs to be the only dog in the home. We believe that she was fighting with the other dogs she was with, and this has caused her some trauma. Mally is also heartworm positive.

Maleficent needs the perfect home which we know will be hard to find, but we know it is out there.
