Adopt Baki

Belgian Malinois · Male · Puppy · 11 months

24.05.2026 Welcome to Switzerland, dear Baki. Baki is a wonderful puppy, and we simply cannot understand how such a wonderful companion can be given up or why these wonderful Malinois keep ending up in the wrong, inexperienced hands. Unfortunately, it is a fact that these wonderful, hardworking dogs are often sold to the wrong people, and no, this unfortunately does not only happen abroad! Apparently, Baki's former owners have been very concerned, and Baki has not learned any bad habits so far. He is very friendly and clingy with people and meets his fellow animals kindly as well. We hope that Baki will find the right people in Switzerland quickly so he can continue to develop well. 11.05.2026 Baki is a friendly and socially compatible young Malinois looking for a new home. He is being given up with a heavy heart because his previous owners underestimated the care required for a Malinois and can no longer provide the necessary time. Baki is puppy-like in his activity and requires both physical and mental stimulation. At the same time, he shows social compatibility and friendliness towards people. He is also familiar with living in the same household as cats. We wish Baki an active and dog-experienced home, ideally with experience in handling hardworking breeds. People with time, patience, and enjoyment of mental stimulation and training would be perfect for him. We report again.

24.05.2026 Herzlich willkommen in der Schweiz, lieber Baki. Baki ist ein wunderbarer Jungrüde und wir verstehen es einmal mehr nicht, wie man so einen wunderbaren Begleiter einfach abgeben kann oder wieso diese wunderbaren Maligatoren immer wieder in die falschen, unerfahrenen Hände kommen. Es ist leider ein Fakt, dass diese wunderbaren, arbeitsfreudigen Hunde immer wieder an die falschen Menschen verkauft werden und nein, das passiert leider nicht nur im Ausland! Offenbar haben sich die ehemaligen Besitzer von Baki trotz dem sehr bemüht und Baki hat bisher keine Unarten gelernt. Er ist sehr freundliche und anhänglich zu Menschen und er begegnet auch seinen Artgenossen stets freundlich. Wir hoffen, dass Baki schnell die richtigen Menschen in der Schweiz findet, damit er sich weiter gut entwickeln kann. 11.05.2026 Baki ist ein freundlicher und sozialverträglicher junger Malinois, der ein neues Zuhause sucht. Schweren Herzens wird er abgegeben, da seine bisherigen Besitzer die Haltung eines Malinois unterschätzt haben und ihm zeitlich nicht mehr gerecht werden können. Baki ist junghundetypisch aktiv und benötigt sowohl körperliche als auch geistige Auslastung. Gleichzeitig zeigt er sich sozialverträglich und freundlich gegenüber Menschen. Auch das Zusammenleben mit Katzen im gleichen Haushalt kennt er bereits. Für Baki wünschen wir uns ein aktives und hundeerfahrenes Zuhause, idealerweise mit Erfahrung im Umgang mit arbeitsfreudigen Rassen. Menschen mit Zeit, Geduld und Freude an Beschäftigung und Training wären perfekt für ihn. Wir berichten wieder.

About Baki

What life with Baki looks like

Baki is a puppy/kitten belgian malinois dog waiting at Tierhilfe Arme Pfoten in Arme Pfoten.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Baki, answered.

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