Mali (Malachi) Staffie x Shar Pei DofB 12.12.20 Cheshunt

Mali's Story: Young owner took his own life and no one could take Mali (and Merci) in. The property is being handed back and they were needing to be put to sleep. They have lived with 2 young children. Rescue Remedies offered a Rescue place saving their lives. Mali is now neutered, chipped, and fully vaccinated. Mali came into our Rescue Centre nr Gatwick whilst awaiting his new family.

If you are interested in rehoming one of our dogs, the first step is to complete and submit our ONLINE HOMING QUESTIONNAIRE. We do not discuss dogs without a homing questionnaire submission. You must be ready and we will only contact you if we have a suitable dog. For more detailed information, please see our Homing Process.

Please support our work and help our long stay dogs: Our minimum Adoption Donation is £250 (£400 for pup under 1 yr old). This supports our continuing rescue work and is non-refundable. We exist solely due to the goodwill and donations of our supporters and volunteers. Our dogs need supportive families who will offer them patience, time and tolerance whilst they settle in their new homes. Our Rescue offers all our dogs back-up for life.

Please note: Dog laws have changed, with zero public tolerance and prejudice against bull breeds and terriers in particular. Our Rescue asks new owners to keep their dog on a lead in public spaces and manage and support its encounters with new dogs and people, so as not to place the dog's life at risk. Destruction and Control Orders are commonplace nowadays.

Mali's progress through our Rescue is below.
We work with our dogs, who often reveal an evolving picture and positive skills as they build trust.

Lynne please help. I've tried everywhere their last hope was you. Is there anything we could pay for that would help if you took them ? I know everywhere is full I just think they have been through so much this week and for them to lose there lives would be heartbreaking. Claire

Had the pleasure of getting to know Mali this week when we went to the Vets and he was neutered, chipped and 1st vacinated. I had made the mistake of assuming Mali was the bigger in the pair; but no he is smaller than Merci who is more Mastiff mix. Has has definite Shar pei features and is staffie size and personality.

Mali was very easy to manage in the vets, easy temperament around dogs and travelled well in a crate alongside other dogs.

Pictures will soon appear as his rescue journey has begun.

I met Mali and Merci today who came into the rescue together. I took Mali and fellow walker Georgie took Merci.
Mali is extremely easy and gentle to walk and I let him dictate the direction he wanted to go. He did not pull or react to anything he saw.

Mali seemed to like the woods and had a few sniffs while we were out and about
The two of them are a real dream team

Mali is a lovely boy who can sometimes be anxious when going out for a walk. My dad and Tam continued on with Merci and Boo and I took Mali to the paddock when he decided he didn't want to go further. He was very excited and felt much more relaxed being in there. We played with the balls for about 40 mins, he was happy sharing them with me and he understood the rules of 'fetch'. He allowed me to stroke around his face and he put his weight into my hands. It was lovely to see him grow to trust me over that short period.

Considering what this pair have been through, I'm very proud of the way they are dealing with it all. I'm sure it would benefit them greatly to be back into a loving home. They'd make lovely companions :)

Mali is that "go to dog" when you have a little spare time to go and walk or an extra walk

He is very welcoming and easy , his only dilemma is leaving the car park a little apprehension so with a slight detour he is soon happily out on his walk.

Here is Mali impressing Gillian and Keith when they came in the week


Mali isnt sure about toys as his partner was quite possessive so he himself isn't loose in his management of play. He will soon learn.

Mali's canine partner has been homed, so Mali is now very eligible!

Matt and Colleen and their daughter Lucy were there waiting when I arrived to get Mali out of his kennel. They observed his submission and low confidence when we attempted to stride out down the lan but Matt soon got the measure of him and he was catching us up from behind. Next we went back and got dear epper their Rescue Shih Tzu

Hi Lynne,

Thankyou so much for helping us choose Mali, he's met our Cat Donald who decided to run away and on this first meeting Mali had no interest in chase.
He's amazing x

Love from
Colleen and Matthew

Mali met Donald the Cat again as we went into the bedroom, Donald stayed for a while albeit with his nose in the air, Mali was curious but calm , Donald eventually decided he'd graced us with his presence long enough and left via the window. Mali has already shown great intelligence and has settled enough to sleep on my lap. We know it's very early days and will continue to help Mali develop to the dog he really is. Lynne has Again worked her magic , Thankyou Lynne so much and your rehoming team. As I write this Mali has decided he's sleeping on our bed with us. X
