Hey peeps, I’m Mallo, although my foster family call me “Marshmallow”. I’m 3yrs old and I’m told I’m a German/Belgian Shepherd mix. I’ve been with my foster family a year this February and they are ever so patiently waiting on the right humans coming along to be my adoptive family and forever home.
I’m a very handsome boy on my pics but even more handsome in real life! Don’t be fooled by my big doggo Shepherd looks, as I would much rather a snuggle with my favourite humans than chasing down some bad guys.
I also like to keep my foster parents on the ball and sometimes react to other dogs when walking past. Some days I’m perfect other days I will bark and lunge, I gotta keep em on their toes and get those extra hotdog treats for being good! 😊
I love my foster mum, with her she makes me feel good enough and confident enough that on some days I am so brave I do walks with other strange doggos off lead! We have been working hard together and she gives me loads of confidence, as I do be a bit of a buffoon sometimes.
I am looking for a quiet home, I dont like change, I like structure and routine so I knows what is happening. I’m also looking for humans who will enjoy taking me on lots of nice nature walks (and an endless supply of tennis balls).
I could enjoy another doggo for company but only if my chosen humans have experience in not only my needs but in helping us integrate slowly and settling in with each other.
My new humans also need to know their stuff as I am a Shepshep and do come with some typical behaviours. My main one being that strangers can worry me…a lot! You humans can be quite scary you know!! I don’t mind if they standing close by when I’m on walks and stuff but I don’t like them hovering over me or when they try come touch me, so I need my humans to be my advocate. I’ve not had the best experience with humans all the time so I need your help with guidance here.
I am a gent in the house and don’t mind being left at home when needed. I do like to play shadow in the house and be where all the action is. Need to keep my 👀 on my humans. With 3 other dogs and 2 kids I love making sure they are entertained and safe. 😊
I’m looking for as little foot traffic to the home as possible as I dont really like a lot of strangers coming and going. And when I do find my humans I will take time to settle again as I have had a lot happen in my past. So for this reason, no small kids and I would prefer any of the smaller humans to be of teenage years.
No small pets please as I would chase them in the home. Although in my foster home my mum helps a lot of little fur brothers and sisters and I do really well with this, its taken a lot of time and management. For settling in to a new home I need calm and quiet and it’s best no small furries.
If you live in Scotland and sound like the humans for me and have a quiet experienced home, that would enjoy lots of nice walks with me! Maybe enjoy doing a bit scent work with me or a bit canni cross for fun then please get in touch hitting the link below.
Thanks, Mallo aka Marshmallow 🐾
