You just can’t shut him up.
He has a condition called hydrocephalus.
They get the bigger heads.
I have a soft spot for the hydrocephalus ones in particular.
So they always have a place here.
Rescues likes ours will take dogs like Malcolm
and find them amazing homes.
He’s a pretty normal, happy little puppy.
So he’s very lucky.
We are going to get Malcolm ready for adoption.
At first, Malcolm was a little bit shy
with my other dogs.
And then, he was strutting around
like he owned the joint.
He just had this funny little bossy personality,
and just basically ruled the roost
even though he was the smallest one.
- That’s right, tell her who’s boss.
- Malcolm, what have you got on your face?
Malcolm has been designated guardian of the patio door.
Or any door actually.
- Can I come in?
If you haven’t got an invitation, you’re not coming in.
And you can see it,
like when other dogs will come along.
He’ll like, check them.
Or he’ll just barge in,
and take over the toy that they’ve got.
I’ve had Malcolm six weeks.
He basically acts like a pretty normal puppy.
Luckily his hydrocephalus has not progressed.
So he’s ready to go.
We got an amazing application for Malcolm.
Sometimes there are vibes to applications.
And they just have a really good vibe.
- Vanessa was like, “You’ve got to see Malcolm.
He’s from another planet.”
- We live here with three French bulldogs.
Sweetie Belle,
Ruby Mae,
and Sherman.
Sherman is mellow, and happy-go-lucky.
Sweetie is a little wacky,
but she’s pretty easygoing.
Ruby is the hardest sell in the whole group.
She’s neurotic,
and she’s going to have to take it in her own time.
Katie June is Charlie’s fourteen-year-old daughter.
- Katie’s been really excited about Malcolm.
- Quarantine’s been lonely and tough.
And very, very boring.
- I think he’s going to be her dude.
- Today is a bittersweet day,
because it’s adoption day.
Which is wonderful for Malcolm.
He’s going to his new home, and I'm really thrilled for him.
I’m really happy.
He couldn’t be going to a better home.
- I’m very excited.
I don’t want to start crying, I’m so excited.
[Laughter]
I’m really, really, really, really hoping
that we’re going to be one big, happy family.
- Very exciting.
- Hello, hello.
Come in.
Morkie, unlock.
- Oh my goodness.
- Morkie!
- Go get ‘em! Go get ‘em!
Hey Malcolm.
- Lord have mercy, come back here you little monster!
- Hi!
- With Charlie, it’s like
you’ve got this tattooed rocker guy.
And people just prove to you all the time
that they are not how a lot of the world may judge them.
- We’re going to make sure Malcolm has an amazing time.
I think he’s a little sleepy.
- We have a bed for you in the car, so —
- Was that a snore?
- I don’t know what that was, but it was cute.
All right, little guy.
- It’s going to be like your first day at school.
Aww.
- Here we are.
We got him!
- Here’s your new place, dude.
- Are you ready for this?
- Check it out.
What do you think?
- Look, look.
- I was just a little nervous about the other dogs.
- Look Sweetie, this is Malcolm. He's your new brother.
Good girl.
- Oh yeah, I know.
Okay, okay.
- Bella.
- Good girl. - Good girl, Sweetie.
- Good girl, Bella.
- Good girl.
- Look, this is a new baby.
We have a new brother. - This is a baby.
- Aw, they’re playing. Yay!
[Laughter]
- You’re so cute and tiny,
and I love his head and his eyes.
And just, everything is awesome.
I love you.
- Let’s go see what these dudes are up to.
What are you doing?
- Malcolm is very sensitive.
He’s very loving.
But he can also be a complete firecracker,
and a nut ball.
- Ruby Mae has kind of become like the mother figure.
But with Sherman,
they’re kind of BFFs.
Malcolm is pretty obsessed with Sweetie Belle.
I think adopting Malcolm has been
one of the most rewarding things we’ve ever done.
I can’t wait for all the trials and tribulations,
and love and wonder that’s going to come along
with our little Malcolm.
