Mallow

Shar Pei · Male · Puppy · 11 months

Mallow is a sensitive soul who is looking for a family that can understand his soft and squishy side. He is a young lad who has shown so much potential to be a fantastic pet if given the chance. He has been learning about the world during his stay with us but he deserves his next stage of life to be in a loving home. If you think you could offer Mallow a foster or forever home, please give us a call! Say hello to our squishy faced Mallow! He is a 10-month-old clever crossbreeed who is super friendly and ready to reward his new owners with cuddles galore! Deep down Mallow is a sensitive boy who can sometimes lack confidence and seeks reassurance from his favourite people - you could say he has a big soft marshmallow heart! 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! He is a very smart boy who picks up things quickly and this has shown in his training (he impresses his carers daily!). Mallow is uncomfortable being left alone so is looking for a family that can be home with him throughout the day and help him work through this. He is looking for understanding owners that are comfortable with his friendly bounciness but can also support him to build up his confidence gradually. Mallow can at times feel frustrated around meeting other dogs and is currently working on making friends with other dogs here at the centre - we believe he has huge potential to succeed at this. We are currently looking in to whether Mallow would like to live with another dog - if you have a dog who you think would like to live with Mallow then please do add him to your favourites and we will consider this based on where he is at with his training at the time. Mallow could also live with older secondary school aged children. AWE licence number 13090 by West Lothian Council.

About Mallow

What life with Mallow looks like

Mallow is a extra-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.
