Mallow

Shar Pei · Male · Puppy · 9 months

Say hello to Mallow! He is a 9-month-old Shar Pei cross Malinois. He can be on the shy side to begin with but once you are friends, his snuggly side is sure to come out! With his best human friends he loves to cuddle up on the sofa next to them, he is also a big foodie and loves his treats! Mallow is uncomfortable being left alone so is looking for a family that can be home with him throughout the day. He is looking for experienced and understanding owners that are comfortable with his bounciness and that can also support Mallow and build up his confidence gradually at his own pace. Mallow can feel frustrated around meeting other dogs and is currently working on making friends with other dogs here at the centre whilst we are looking into whether he would like to live with one. He will need understanding owners that can continue to work with Mallow and walk him in quieter areas where he can relax. As Mallow can take a little while to come out of his shell, he would love for his family to come and meet him a few times at the centre before he is ready to pack up his big yellow bag! Mallow is a super smart boy who picks up new things very quickly! He is a total foodie which is handy whilst keeping his mind active with training! Mallow is the sweetest boy who can live with children aged 16 and above and would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Mallow would love a family that can help him flourish in his forever home. AWE licence number 13090 by West Lothian Council.

About Mallow

What life with Mallow looks like

Mallow is a large puppy/kitten shar pei dog waiting at Dogs Trust West Calder in West Calder.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mallow, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mallow?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust West Calder handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mallow on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mallow if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust West Calder will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mallow already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mallow isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust West Calder early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mallow and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
