The first in a series of posts is focused on 11-year-old Malinois, Roy.

“If you’re looking for a new best friend, then Roy is the one for you.

“He may appear shy and timid, but shower him with love and attention and he will show you his lovable, puppy-like side.”

In another post, the Belgian Malinois, Kimbo was introduced to have a heart of gold, and to not be fooled by his appearance.

“A top-performing guard dog, he is incredibly loyal and highly intelligent. 

“He has a curious nature and is always happy to pick up new tricks.”

A picture of one of the female Labrador Retrievers, Salsa, meanwhile describes it as, “Affectionate and obedient, Salsa is the perfect house dog for any loving family. 

“Shower her with treats and lots of belly rubs, and you have a happy camper for a companion.”

Facebook users took to praising the team’s detailed and creative write-up while some voiced their interest in adopting the canines.
