About Malo
I’m eight years old and I’m a lovely boy, if I do say so myself! I’m a little quieter and reserved than my sister, Tala, and will take a week or two to warm to you. Once I’ve decided you’re lovely and caring, I’ll be on your lap requesting cuddles every night! I, like my sister, only bark if someone is coming up the driveway. I also like to sleep in bed, all snuggled up to you! I love my food (save our life chimken treats are my favourite) but also respect boundaries if you’re eating. I’m toilet trained and will go to the bathroom outside (I don’t even care about wet grass) but also prefer a pee pad if you’re out for too long. I bark a little at other people when I’m out for a walk, but will be quiet if you tell me to. I have a joint lead with my sister, Tala, and love going for walkies with her. I don’t mind a bath either, and sunning myself after, but I don’t love my nails being clipped and I prefer if the groomer or vet does this. I’m really snuggly and full of love and I can’t wait to meet you!

Our adoption process involves:
