💗🌴🎀 COME ON BARBIE, LET'S FIND MALIBU A HOME! 🎀🌴💗

☀️ She's got the looks, she's got the personality, and she's ready for her happily EVER AFTER!

Meet MALIBU, our very own Barbie girl who's been waiting for someone to make her the star of their world! 💕

💖 MALIBU'S DREAMHOUSE PROFILE:

🌸 3 years old
🌸 Female
🌸 Cattle Dog mix
🌸 Approximately 60 pounds
🌸 Friendly and affectionate
🌸 Smart and playful
🌸 Loves people and attention
🌸 Gets along with SOME dogs

💅 A LITTLE MORE ABOUT OUR GIRL...

Malibu isn't just another pretty face! She's part Cattle Dog, and that means she's got brains, personality, and instincts that make her special.

We're looking for someone who understands the Cattle Dog breed and knows that these dogs need more than a backyard and a food bowl.

She'll thrive with someone who can provide:
🐾 Regular exercise and adventures
🧠 Mental stimulation and enrichment
💕 Structure, patience, and consistency
🎓 Continued training and guidance

Malibu can get along with some dogs, but thoughtful introductions and finding the right match are important.

💗 HER DREAMHOUSE IS WAITING... AND IT COULD BE YOURS!

Please SHARE, TAG, and help us find this beautiful girl the forever family she's been waiting for!

🎀 ADOPT MALIBU. MAKE HER WORLD PINK. 🎀

Ummm....also, give a HUGE SHOUT-OUT to ALL of our FOSTERS who help kittens and pups like these thrive in foster homes and help care for those who don't have voices of their own!! Amazing. Work.
