KOKO BEAN - LOCATED IN OR - BELGIAN SHEPHERD MALINOIS DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Belgian Shepherd Malinois. Meet Koko Bean — Your New Adventure Buddy! Koko Bean is a spirited, affectionate, and intelligent 4-month-old Belgian Malinois with a stunning dark sable coat and a heart full of love. This little gem is confident, playful, and full of energy—always ready to explore the world, learn new things, and shower her humans with affection (sometimes with a gentle love nibble or a playful pant-leg chew!). Personality & Demeanor Koko Bean is a true social butterfly with a confident, happy-go-lucky attitude. Her ears are perked, tail wagging, and she romps joyfully, giving licks, cuddles, and playful nibbles to anyone she bonds with. She thrives on attention, loves interactive play, and is always eager to engage with people and her environment. Despite her puppy energy, Koko Bean is calm and well-mannered in her kennel, showing no barking, whining, or growling when left alone—a testament to her balanced temperament and excellent potential for training. Play & Motivation Koko Bean loves her toys, especially balls and squeaky toys, and will chase them with excitement. She enjoys short independent play sessions (like taking a toy to a blanket for a quick rest) and promptly returns for affection. She engages in tug-of-war and is food-motivated, making treat-based training highly successful. She readily exchanges toys or high-value items for treats, demonstrating confidence and impulse control for her age. Training & Intelligence Koko Bean is highly trainable and eager to learn. During her evaluation, she quickly learned the “sit” command and responded well to positive reinforcement. Her intelligence, curiosity, and drive make her an excellent candidate for Barn Hunt, scent work, or other canine sports. With consistent, patient, and positive training, she will continue to thrive and excel. Socialization & Household Considerations As a young pup new to the shelter, Koko Bean's dog exposure has been limited primarily to those near her kennel. She is confident and would likely enjoy meeting dogs of both the same and opposite sex, including larger dogs, with slow, supervised introductions. Koko Bean would do best in a home with: A patient, positive, and experienced handler Children age 10 and up, unless Malinois-savvy, due to her puppy mouthiness Optional dog companions (not required)Why Koko Bean is Special Koko Bean perfectly balances fun, affection, and intelligence. She’s confident yet loving, independent yet eager to please. She will thrive in a home that can provide consistent training, socialization, and plenty of interactive play.
