Malo's Story

<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">Malo is a charming young tri-colour Chihuahua at just over 1 year old. He originally came to Precious Paws as an owner surrender from northern Ontario and sadly, was recently returned from his adoptive home due to the adopter's allergies. Malo was of course welcomed back into our care and he remembered his foster family instantly, wagging his tail with excitement, and he quickly settled back into his cozy routine.</p><br/><br/><p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">Malo is friendly, curious, and playful. He gets along well with both men and women, though can guard his favourite person. An experienced, adult-only, home would be best suited for Malo as he also doesn't like to be startled out of his sleep! Malo has shown himself to be housetrained and crate trained and he walks nicely on leash too.At night, Malo happily tucks himself into his crate (as long as a soft blanket is involved) and sleeps quietly through the night and he knows a few commands<em>down</em>,<em>come</em>, and<em>stop</em>. Malo enjoys a good walk but prefers sunshine to rain or snow (a proper gentleman there), and he loves curling up under a cozy blanket or, even better, in someone's lap afterward.</p><br/><br/><p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">This smart, athletic pup would shine in an active home that enjoys playtime, outdoor walks, or even agility training. He gets along with most dogs, though like many small breeds, he can be selective about his canine friends. With the guarding he can display for "his" person, life as the only dog may be best for him depending on the home.</p><br/><br/><p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">Malo is a loving, loyal companion who's ready to bring warmth, fun, and a dash of spunk to a patient and consistent adopter.<strong>If you're interested in making Malo a permanent member of your family, please fill out an adoption application today!</strong></p><br/><br/><p> </p><br/><br/><p><em>Our adoption fees cover all up to date veterinary needs, including but not limited to: full veterinary examination, age appropriate vaccinations, fecal test and parasite prevention, wellness bloodwork, spay or neuter, and microchip.

Precious Paws Rescue's Adoption Policy
Before inquiring about a specific dog for adoption, please ensure you have read their complete bio. We try to provide a complete description of each dog’s preferences in their write up including whether they are good with children and/or other pets. Adoption fees for each dog are also listed in their bio. If you still have questions about a dog you’re interested in please send us a message and one of our volunteers will respond as soon as possible. The first step if you are interested in adopting one of our available dogs is to complete our online Adoption Application at www.preciouspawsrescue.ca. Once your application is received one of our volunteers will review it and then get in touch with you to schedule a time for an interview. We will request a Zoom interview with you, so that we can complete your “phone interview” and “home visit” all at once. If these applications are not available to you we will schedule your phone interview first and, following that, we will schedule a home visit where a volunteer visits to meet all family members and see where the dog would be living. Our focus is on making the best match, not only for our rescue dogs, but also for our adoptive families. We want our adoptions to be successful for all involved so please understand that our adoption process is in place to ensure this happens. If you have any questions please get in touch!
