Meet Malorie, a gentle soul with a heart of gold just waiting for the right person to help her shine. Malorie is a quiet, sensitive girl who came to us after her owner passed away. Because she is very shy, she spends most of her time observing from a distance while she works up the courage to say hello. She isn't the kind of dog who will rush to the door to greet you on day one, but for a patient adopter, the reward of winning her trust will be incredibly profound.
Malorie is looking for a calm, low-energy home where she can settle in at her own pace without any pressure to be "brave" before she is ready. She also thrives in the company of other dogs and having a confident canine sibling might help her come out of her shell. If you have a soft spot for the wallflowers and the time to let a beautiful friendship bloom slowly, Malorie might be the perfect addition.
