About Flower

What life with Flower looks like

Flower is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Island Sanctuary Malta in Marsaxlokk.

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 Malta

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Flower, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Flower?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. The Island Sanctuary Malta handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Flower on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Flower if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Island Sanctuary Malta 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Flower 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 Flower 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 The Island Sanctuary Malta early rather than rehoming privately; they know Flower 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
