Malin is a very nice young dog. She gets excited and dances around when we arrive and wants to play with us. She has started leash walking and often likes to just sit in the car. She doesn’t have much life experience but we are working with her. She has a gentle nature with people and is very easy to have around, take to the vet etc. | |
Malin was taken from the street for sterilisation by the municipality and then it was found that she had leishmania. They don’t have a human space for her so we agreed to take her in. | |
