Character
This is Mally. His rescuer didn’t think he had the right looks to be chosen. But inside that big brown clumsy body, there is a very loving heart. Mally loves people, and he absolutely loves to be loved.
Mally, born 2020, 34kg, is a Rottweiler cross (we have his DNA breed test) in foster in Romania. Mally has Degenerative Eye Atrophy and cataracts in both eyes.
Currently Mally can see very close in front of him, but it is thought that soon he may become completely blind. Although he bumps into things sometimes, he doesn’t care at all and is thoroughly enjoying a full, active and happy doggy life.
Mally was found in a Romanian high-kill shelter. He had been isolated because of his size. To ensure he was well socialised, he now lives with a dog trainer and 14 other dogs, a mix of neutered males and females. His best friend is a female Akita.
Mally is generally good with dogs, but sensible, supervised introductions are always required. He can be dominant with unneutered males, (although Mally has not been reactive on walks). His trainer thinks the best home for Mally is as an only dog or with a female dog.
Mally has met some cats, while he didn’t show any sign of aggression, he was excited by them and the cats ran away; so it is not known how he would be living with cats.
Mally is used to going out for walks on a collar and lead. He has a medium to high energy level, so enjoys a good long walk and then will settle down for a snooze in front of the fire. Mally loves to sniff everything. He can try to pull at the beginning of a walk, but after 10 minutes or so settles and walks fine. He will stop if you stop and wait for you to walk on. He can be a little worried by loud noises like buses, noisy cars and motorbikes. He’s a clever boy and is used to having training incorporated on his walks, like ‘come’ and ‘heel’.
Mally is now used to living indoors and enjoys home comforts. He will curl up next to you, rest his big, lovely head on you and close his eyes.
As with all dogs, it is important Mally receives a balance of affection and firm boundaries so that he does not become spoilt. He enjoys training and knowing his limits with someone who loves him deeply but gives him consistent messages about how to behave.
Mally has been well socialised. He likes going out in the car and happily jumps into the back seat. He loves going to the shops and meeting new people, always attracting a lot of attention and affection with his waggy tail and big happy milky-eyed face.
Mally has had a lot of love invested in him, and we are looking for a home who are ready to help him continue his journey, with people who can see his true beauty.

Please note - we do not rehome dogs to families with children under the age of 10.
Type of Home Sought
Mally is best suited to living as an only dog or with a female dog.
Large breed experience would be helpful. His adopter(s) will need to continue to provide training/guidance to ensure his lovely behaviour continues while he settles into UK life.
Mally is looking for a home with a garden to sniff, and someone to take him on long walks. He needs a home who will appreciate how affectionate he is and enjoy his cuddles.
Due to his size Mally is best suited to families with older children around 14 or older.
