Funana

Belgian Malinois · Female · Adult · 5 years

Funana – Malinois-female dog seeks responsible home Funana is a Malinois-female dog currently waiting at the animal shelter for her own home. We know little about her past or how much she already knows about life in a household. We are still getting to know Funana. However, it is immediately clear that she is an active, enthusiastic female dog eagerly waiting for her trusted people. As a Malinois, Funana typically brings with her a high level of trainability. Although we currently cannot say much about her everyday experiences, it is clear that she will benefit from people who meet her with patience and clarity and who are either familiar with the needs of this active, intelligent dog or are willing to familiarize themselves with them. At the same time, it must always be clear that a dog (from an animal shelter, but also generally) is never a ready-made solution on four legs. A dog is a decision: for responsibility, for empathy, for genuine acceptance. If you are aware of what adopting an animal shelter dog entails and you have fallen in love with the idea, please contact the responsible mediator at SALVA Hundehilfe. We would also be very grateful for the provision of a foster home for Funana.

Funana – Malinois-Hündin sucht verantwortungsbewusstes Zuhause Funana ist eine Malinois-Hündin, die derzeit im Tierheim auf ihr eigenes Zuhause wartet. Über ihre Vergangenheit oder darüber, wie viel sie bereits über das Leben in einem Haushalt kennt, wissen wir leider nichts. Wir lernen Funana noch kennen. Dass es sich um eine aktive, begeisterungsfreudige Hündin handelt, die sehnsüchtig auf ihre Bezugspersonen wartet, ist aber auf den ersten Blick zu sehen. Als Malinois bringt Funana rassetypisch eine hohe Lernbereitschaft mit. Auch wenn wir aktuell noch nicht viel über ihre Erfahrungen im Alltag sagen können, ist klar: Sie wird von Menschen profitieren, die ihr mit Geduld und Klarheit begegnen und die sich mit den Bedürfnissen dieser aktiven, intelligenten Hunde auseinandergesetzt haben oder bereit sind, dies zu tun. Gleichzeitig muss immer auch klar sein, dass ein Hund (aus dem Tierschutz, aber auch generell) nie eine fertige Lösung auf vier Pfoten ist. Ein Hund ist eine Entscheidung: für Verantwortung, für Einfühlungsvermögen, für echtes Ankommenlassen. Wer ihr diese Chance gibt, sie verlässlich führt und ihr ermöglicht, sich zu entfalten, wird mit einer treuen Begleiterin belohnt, die wirklich alles für ihre Familie tun würde. Wenn Sie sich bewusst sind, was mit der Adoption eines Tierschutzhundes auf Sie zukommt, und Sie sich in die Notnase verguckt haben, dann nehmen Sie bitte Kontakt zu der zuständigen Vermittlerin der SALVA Hundehilfe auf. Auch über das Bereitstellen einer Pflegestelle wären wir und Funana sehr dankbar! Hier geht’s zu Funanas Video Hier geht’s zu Video 2

About Funana

What life with Funana looks like

Funana is a adult belgian malinois dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Funana, answered.

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