Adopt Mailo

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Born: ca. 2023/2024 Compatibility with others: Gets along well with other dogs, tends to be more reserved; Cats: Cannot be tested. Current location: Auffangstation Istanbul (Turkey) Mailo came from another Auffangstation that was closed. He is very loving, calm, well-tempered, and tends to be more reserved. We know nothing about his past. It would be wonderful if Mailo finally had the chance to lead an appropriate life. Dogs in Auffangstations often live under extremely poor conditions. The emotional loneliness is great. There is a lack of sufficient food, walks, mental stimulation, and affection. Mailo could be a good fit for a loving, calm female dog. Mailo still needs to learn the big dog equation. He is not yet familiar with walking on a leash, but that should not be a problem. Dogs usually learn that fairly quickly.

Geboren: ca. 2023/2024 Verträglichkeit: Gut mit anderen Hunden verträglich, eher zurückhaltend; Katzen: Kann nicht getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Auffangstation Istanbul (Türkei) Mailo kommt aus einer anderen Auffangstation, die geschlossen wurde. Er ist sehr lieb, ruhig, gut verträglich und eher ein Hund, der sich zurückhält. Über seine Vorgeschichte ist uns nichts bekannt. Es wäre schön, wenn Mailo endlich die Chance bekäme, ein artgerechtes Leben zu führen. Die Hunde in Auffangstationen leben oft unter extrem schlechten Bedingungen. Die seelische Einsamkeit ist groß. Es fehlt an ausreichend Futter, Spaziergängen, Beschäftigung und Zuwendung. Mailo könnte gut zu einer lieben, ruhigen Hündin vermittelt werden. Das große Hunde-Einmaleins möchte Mailo noch lernen. Spaziergänge an der Leine kennt er noch nicht, aber das sollte kein Problem sein. Hunde lernen das in der Regel recht schnell.

About Mailo

What life with Mailo looks like

Mailo is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mailo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mailo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mailo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mailo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mailo 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 Mailo 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mailo 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 (DE). 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.
