Malia is a medium sized crossbreed aged around two years old. Failed cat testing. Will need another steady dog in full time residence in her forever home. Respectful children 12 plus. Malia and her mother were rescued from a crowded shelter in Romania. Her mother came to the UK before her and has since been rehomed. Malia was very shy and distrustful on arrival due to lack of social interaction in her early life. Malia has been in her foster home for just over a month, and as each day passes, more of her gentle, sweet and slightly quirky personality is beginning to shine through. Malia can appear hand-shy and skittish, and she can sometimes be nervous about making the first move. But secretly, she loves a fuss! Her affection is quiet and gentle, and if she’s feeling a little lonely, her tiny whimpers will let you know that she’d quite like some company. Malia is very much a girl who needs a little patience and reassurance, but she is beginning to play with the other dogs in her foster home and is discovering that life can be fun! She also loves spending time in the garden, especially when you’re there with her. On walks, Malia is an absolute pleasure. She walks beautifully and gently on the lead, happily staying by your side. She may not be the dog who rushes straight up to introduce herself, but beneath her initial nervousness is a sweet soul with so much love to give. She just needs someone kind enough to give her the time and patience to let her personality fully blossom.

Adoption Terms & Conditions
When you adopt a Safe Rescue dog, you MUST use a slip lead. This will keep your dog safe: your new dog will be nervous and will not trust you, and you will not know which situations might upset your dog. If your dog panics, then a slip lead is the only way to prevent your dog from escaping (many dogs can escape from a collar and/or harness). It will take AT LEAST 3-6 months for your dog to settle-in and for you to know your dog fully (longer for nervous dogs). The slip lead must ALWAYS be used during this settling-in period. Even after your dog is settled, it is safest to use the slip lead in situations where your dog may become scared (e.g. visiting new places, around unfamiliar people, at the vet), and it situations where unexpected triggers might happen (e.g. around bonfire night). Nervous dogs may always need to wear a slip-lead as a back-up safety measure. The slip lead is a safety device and must NEVER be used as a training tool. Using the lead to apply pressure to the dog’s neck is damaging. If your dog pulls on the lead, then we can advise you on training methods that avoid harm. Once your dog is settled, you may want to consider using a harness (together with the slip lead) if your dog is comfortable with being handled when it is fitted. Most harnesses are not escape-proof, but harnesses with a strap behind the ribcage (e.g. Ruffwear Webmaster or Perfect Fit Harnesses) are safer. Retractable / extendable leads must never be used on our dogs. Adopted dogs must be collected from the rescue and transported straight home in a secure metal crate. Fences and gates must be 5foot minimum in height and secure.
