Apolo

Belgian Malinois · Male · Puppy

I am a small Malinois-German Shepherd mix, born on 01.04.2026, and just at the beginning of my life adventure. Currently, I am about 34 cm tall – but I will certainly grow more. Together with my siblings Ares, Thor, Venus, and Zeus, I came from an unplanned litter. Since mid-June 2026, we have been living in an animal shelter in Spain. Our mother has already been spayed so that she won't have to worry about such things in the future. What makes me special? I am friendly, open, and curious about the world. I love playing, running around, and discovering new things. Sometimes I am still a little wild – but that's part of being a puppy. I still need to learn the dog basics: house training, leash manners, and all the things a good companion should be able to do. Thanks to my mixed breed, I bring not only intelligence but also a lot of energy and a love for learning. That's why I wish for people who have enough time and fun to physically and mentally challenge me and give me clear structures. My home should be with people experienced with my breed, because I need loving but consistent guidance. Children are welcome in my new home, but they should be a bit older and know how to respectfully interact with dogs. I get along well with other dogs – whether male or female. Whether I like cats, no one knows yet. Upon arrival, I am vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and have my EU pet passport. Maybe you are exactly the person I am waiting for? I am looking forward to meeting you.

Ich bin ein kleiner Malinois-Schäferhund-Mischling, geboren am 01.04.2026, und stehe noch ganz am Anfang meines Lebensabenteuers. Aktuell bin ich etwa 34 cm groß – aber ich werde natürlich noch wachsen. Gemeinsam mit meinen Geschwistern Ares, Thor, Venus und Zeus kam ich aus einem ungewollten Wurf. Seit Mitte Juni 2026 leben wir in einem Tierheim in Spanien. Unsere Mama wurde inzwischen kastriert, damit ihr solche Sorgen in Zukunft erspart bleiben. Was mich ausmacht? Ich bin freundlich, offen und neugierig auf die Welt. Ich liebe es zu spielen, zu toben und Neues zu entdecken. Manchmal bin ich noch ein kleiner Wildfang – aber genau das gehört zum Welpesein dazu. Das Hunde-Einmaleins muss ich natürlich noch lernen: Stubenreinheit, Leinenführigkeit und all die Dinge, die man als guter Begleiter können sollte. Durch meine Mischung bringe ich nicht nur Intelligenz, sondern auch viel Energie und Lernfreude mit. Deshalb wünsche ich mir Menschen, die ausreichend Zeit und Spaß daran haben, mich körperlich sowie geistig auszulasten und mir klare Strukturen geben. Mein Zuhause sollte bei mit meiner Rasse erfahrenen Menschen sein, denn ich brauche liebevolle, aber konsequente Führung. Kinder dürfen gern in meinem neuen Zuhause leben, sollten aber schon etwas älter sein und wissen, wie man respektvoll mit Hunden umgeht. Mit anderen Hunden verstehe ich mich gut – egal ob Rüde oder Hündin. Ob ich Katzen mag, weiß bisher noch niemand. Bei Einreise bin ich geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und habe meinen EU-Heimtierausweis dabei. Vielleicht bist genau du der Mensch, auf den ich warte? Ich freue mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen.

About Apolo

What life with Apolo looks like

Apolo is a small puppy/kitten belgian malinois dog waiting at Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Apolo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Apolo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Apolo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Apolo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Aktion Tierisch Happy 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 Apolo 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 Apolo 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 Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Apolo 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.
