THEY’RE SAFE! 🥳🥰
Remember the 7 dogs who were going to be euthanised? Well they’re here safe!
I’ve been quiet on here as adding 7 more dogs, let alone a family of Malinois & Dutch Shepherds, is a lot of work!
So please welcome - drumroll please😅-
Poppy,
Bear,
Ecam,
Red,
Hugo,
Harry,
and Ted.
❤️🩹
Here’s a little bit about each of them, as individuals!
Rather than “that Mali family”.
——————————————————————————
Poppy is the mum, she got pregnant and had puppies before the age of 1, Poppy has only ever know puppyhood and motherhood.
She was very frightened with the big change, but it’s been so heartwarming to see her come out of her shell, learn to trust myself and my partner, she even loves to see us every morning, with happy tail wags and “please give me bum scratches”!
She also loves to play ball, tennis balls are great but she loves to be the goalie with the football! 🩷
Bear is the dad, he’s probably the most unbothered about the whole ordeal, he’s been confident in new environments and unbothered by new people/strangers.
He’s very much got the switched on working breed brain, and footballs are certainly life!
He’s driven and I would love to see him go into some type of working or sports home.
Bear is a lovable lad! He’d make an incredible partner! 🧡
Ecam is one of the 5 male puppies, well I say puppies but they’re 2 years old😅!
He loves to learn and work with you, he loves a game of ball whether it’s a tennis ball or football, as long as your there - unlike bear who’d trade you for a football, then be upset there’s nobody to
kick it😅! Ecam is very affectionate, he is very happy to see you in the morning! 🩵
Red is a complete lover boy! He’d much prefer your attention and some treats than a ball! He loves to cuddle, he’ll jump into your arms like a baby, and sit on your lap like he’s a chihuahua!
He’s got such a happy personality, he’s even made friends with children who held him on one of our group walks (with strict adult supervision and guidance). ❤️
Hugo is such an affectionate boy, with his happy dance every time you come to the kennel! Hugo loves his long sniffy walks! He enjoys watching me doing my jobs and just taking the world in!
He’s a sweetie pie! He shows interest in a ball. 💚
Harry is such a sweet sensitive soul, with lots of love to give! Harry wants belly rubs and affection every time I appear! He loves to love! He has a big waggy tail and shakes his bum to go with it! Harry also shows interest in a ball! 💜
Ted is a big softy, he’s the most worried out of the boys. However he’s grown in confidence in massive strides since being here. He will lean into me for reassurance, give you a very warm welcome, and loves a game with the football! Let’s just say I’ve fallen completely in love with this boy, is there room for another in my gang…🫣😂💙

Every single one of them has had a good reaction to my dogs.
All of the puppies (big puppies😅) and Poppy need a bit of time to learn how the big wide world works, they’ve not grown up being properly socialised, they can be nervous of new people until they know you’re safe.
However I’m working on their confidence building every day, and it’s going great, they’re all extremely smart.
Some react differently to others, however once you take away the worried exterior, they’re all amazing dogs with beautiful personalities.
I have no doubt they’ll flourish with the perfect people, they’ve all warmed up to me extremely quickly.
Some of them would be suited to working/detection/sports homes, while others need an active pet home.
They’re all in the very early stages of learning to be individuals.
They’ve been living all together in very limited space for a long long time.
They haven’t had regular exercise or real world experiences. 
There have been some nasty fights between them, and they don’t want the other dogs to steal their food, (however they haven’t exhibited any resource guarding to humans whatsoever).
Once they’ve had some time to decompress, learn and become individuals, they’re going to grow into some very special dogs, not that they aren’t already!
I have no doubt they’ll go very far in their lives, they just need to find the right people!
I know they’re out there somewhere!
