How do I contact the shelter about Balou und Meggy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Melle handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Balou und Meggy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Balou und Meggy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Melle 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 Balou und Meggy 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 Balou und Meggy 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 Tierheim Melle early rather than rehoming privately; they know Balou und Meggy 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.

Balou und Meggy

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Balu – Labrador (pure breed) Balu was born on 24.04.2017. He is a pure breed Labrador and an exceptionally loving, friendly, and playful dog. Balu is very family-friendly and quickly gets used to new people and faces. Balu is not neutered. He is completely uncomplicated when it comes to food and eats whatever is given to him without any problems. Overall, he is very easy to care for. Balu is a strong, healthy dog with a beautiful and sturdy build. A few years ago, there was an incident during a walk: A lady attacked him from behind, causing Balu to react in shock and also jump up. As a result of this event, his dog tax was increased. However, Balu has successfully passed the behavioral assessment and the professional certification, and can be led normally. Balu is in very good health. He is in perfect health and has regularly received all necessary vaccinations and veterinary examinations. With Balu, one can have a lot of fun – he is a faithful companion and a wonderful family dog. Meggy – Boxer / Cane Corso mixed breed Meggy was born on 20.11.2017. She is a very pleasant, calm, and well-behaved female dog. Meggy is attentive, listens well, and is also very easy to care for. She is not picky about food either. Meggy has received all necessary vaccinations and important health checks. Recently, she underwent an operation where her uterus was removed. She has recovered well from the procedure and is doing great today. She is a very loving, gentle, and faithful female dog that gives a lot of affection. Info: The dogs can be kept both indoors and outdoors. Currently, they have lived in their own stable in the outdoor area for about 5 years. However, they also come into the house regularly. Please give me a quick response 🙏🏽 as I will be moving abroad in early April. Phone number:

Balu – Labrador (reinrassig) Balu wurde am 24.04.2017 geboren. Er ist ein reinrassiger Labrador und ein ausgesprochen lieber, freundlicher und verspielter Hund. Balu ist sehr familienfreundlich und gewöhnt sich schnell an neue Menschen und Gesichter. Balu ist nicht kastriert. Er ist beim Futter völlig unkompliziert und frisst ohne Probleme das, was man ihm gibt. Insgesamt ist er sehr pflegeleicht. Balu ist ein kräftiger, gesunder Hund mit einer schönen und starken Statur. Vor einigen Jahren kam es zu einem Vorfall beim Gassigehen: Eine Dame sprang ihn von hinten an, woraufhin Balu erschrocken reagierte und ebenfalls hochsprang. Infolge dieses Ereignisses wurde seine Hundesteuer erhöht. Balu hat jedoch den Wesenstest sowie den Sachkundenachweis erfolgreich bestanden und darf ganz normal geführt werden. Gesundheitlich ist Balu in einem sehr guten Zustand. Er ist kerngesund und hat alle notwendigen Impfungen sowie tierärztlichen Untersuchungen regelmäßig erhalten. Mit Balu kann man sehr viel Freude haben – er ist ein treuer Begleiter und ein wunderbarer Familienhund. Meggy – Boxer / Cane Corso Mischling Meggy wurde am 20.11.2017 geboren. Sie ist eine sehr angenehme, ruhige und brave Hündin. Meggy ist aufmerksam, hört gut zu und ist ebenfalls sehr pflegeleicht. Auch beim Futter ist sie nicht wählerisch. Meggy hat alle notwendigen Impfungen und wichtigen Gesundheitsuntersuchungen erhalten. Vor kurzem wurde sie operiert, dabei wurde ihre Gebärmutter entfernt. Sie hat den Eingriff jedoch sehr gut überstanden und es geht ihr heute wieder prächtig. Sie ist eine sehr liebe, sanfte und treue Hündin, die viel Zuneigung schenkt. Info: Die Hunde können sowohl im Haus als auch draußen gehalten werden. Aktuell leben sie seit etwa 5 Jahren in einem eigenen Stall im Außenbereich. Zwischendurch kommen sie jedoch auch regelmäßig ins Haus. Bitte um schnelle Rückmeldung 🙏🏽 da ich Ende April schon im Ausland auswandern werde. Telefonnummer:

About Balou und Meggy

What life with Balou und Meggy looks like

Balou und Meggy is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Melle in Melle.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.
