Description
Hi there! I'm Malarkey!Now, before you worry that my name means trouble, I promise I'm mostly all bark and no malarkey! I'm almost 3 years old and am proudly 99% certified Good Boy, with just a sprinkle of classic Boxer silliness mixed in.My favorite things in life include walks, toys, balls, zooming around the yard, and being wherever my people are. Once I've had a chance to burn off some energy, I'm more than happy to trade my running shoes for cuddle mode and curl up beside you for a nap.Need to leave the house? No problem! I'll hold down the fort while you're gone. And when you come home? Get ready for my signature Boxer welcome—a full-body wiggle, bouncing "kidney bean" dance, and enough excitement to make you feel like a celebrity.I'm great with kids, enjoy other dogs, and have lived with both young children and small canine friends. I'm house-trained, know my basic commands, and have earned an honorary PhD in Snuggling.I do take my self-appointed neighborhood watch duties seriously, so if I hear something suspicious, I'll let you know with a few woofs. You can thank me later.My dream home includes people to love, a yard for the occasional zoomie session, daily walks, and a comfy bed (preferably one close to you). If you're looking for a loyal best friend with a huge heart, a goofy grin, and enough personality to keep you laughing every day, then look no further.After all, life is always more fun with a little Malarkey! ❤️Located in MidlandMust Have✔ Detached home in a suburban or rural area✔ Daily exercise, including at least two walks and playtime✔ A family committed to continuing his socialization and confidence-building✔ Children are welcome—Malarkey has lived with and enjoys kids✔ Another friendly dog would be a bonus, though not required✔ An active household that can keep up with a young BoxerNot Recommended✘ Apartments, condos, or shared-wall living situations due to his barking and vocal nature✘ Homes looking for a low-energy or couch-potato dog✘ Homes where he would regularly be left alone for longer than 8 hours✘ Homes expecting a dog that is already fully confident in all environments—Malarkey is still learning that the world isn't a scary place✘ Homes with cats (compatibility unknown)
