Mala

We are still getting to know this very loving, goofy boy. <br/>Mala loooves to "hug", snuggle and play with his squeaky toys. Given the chance he crawls right into a lap and could spend hours being pet.<br/>Mala's world has been very small so he will need the help of gentle, dedicated, dog savvy guardians to guide him and give him the consistent attention he's been lacking. Mala's lack of worldly experience causes him to be nervous of new things and people. He does not have much experience with things we may consider to be normal, everyday stimuli. Mala may have had some negative interactions with people in the past that causes him to be a little guarded, he is watchful of people's body language but is won over quickly with treats and a soft voice. Mala will need time and patience to work on his fears.<br/>Mala knows "sit" and "shake," although he is working on giving one paw at a time. Mala has been gaining weight and recovering from food insecurity so he can be quite enthusiastic about his meals and should continue with puzzle or slow feeders. As he is still anxious about getting enough to eat, and does not have much experience living indoors, his people will have to ensure there is nothing too easy to access on counters and garbage is tucked away. This history has caused some food resource guarding, but he continues to make improvement as he learns the food is readily available and people aren't trying to take it from him. <br/>Mala should be the only animal in the home but shows positive interest in other dogs.<br/><br/>If you are interested in the adorable Mala, please submit an application below.<br/>https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: White Secondary Color: White Weight: 23kg Age: 2yrs 8mths 1wks Animal has been Neutered
