In the shelter’s words
Meet Periwinkle, a sweet young Malinois mix who loves being close to his people! This 1-year-old, 67-pound boy may be a little unsure of his surroundings at first, but he quickly seeks out affection and reassurance from the people walking with him. He enjoys leaning into pets, nudging hands for more attention, and sticking close by your side. He's still figuring out treats and toys, but he's already shown that companionship is a pretty great reward! Periwinkle also has a playful side. During introductions, he enjoyed interacting and playing with other dogs, using his paws to invite them into the fun. He may enjoy a well-matched canine companion or be happy as your one-and-only with opportunities to make dog friends. As a young dog, Periwinkle is still learning his manners and can get excited about greeting people by putting his paws up on them. He'll benefit from a patient adopter who can help him build confidence, practice leash skills, and learn new things through positive reinforcement. If you're looking for an affectionate sidekick who wants to be close to his favorite people, Periwinkle could be your guy!
