GINGER

Belgian Malinois · Male · Adult · 6 years

Ginger - a 6-year-old Malinois in need - is waiting in France! - Ginger is an active male who is currently waiting for a home at a shelter in France. He is just 6 years old, arrived half starved, but has since gained weight. Ginger is breed-typically under-stimulated in his kennel and when taken out, he doesn't have time - everything is just too exciting! He also likes to try out everything he seems to know to get a treat: sit, stay, turn or maybe jump? 😂 He is totally sweet with people, although a bit cheeky at times. 🤭 If you take some time, he becomes more calm and is also able to walk reasonably well on a leash. However, he still needs some help with basic dog training. We have not yet been able to test his compatibility with other dogs. We are looking for active people who want to explore the world with him and challenge and encourage him. You can find videos of Ginger on our Facebook page.

GINGER - ein 6-jähriger Malinois in NOT - wartet in Frankreich ! - Ginger ist ein aktiver Rüde, der aktuell noch in der Törungsstation in Frankreich auf ein Zuhause wartet. Er ist gerade mal 6 Jahre, kam halb verhungert an, hat aber inzwischen schon gut zugenommen. Ginger ist rassetypisch in seinem Zwinger unterfordert und wenn man ihn rausholt hat er erstmal keine Zeit - es ist einfach alles zu spannend! Da probiert er auch gerne einfach mal alles aus, was er zu kennen scheint, um ein Leckerli zu bekommen: Sitz, Platz, drehen oder vielleicht doch anspringen? 😂 Er ist total lieb mit Menschen, wenn auch zwischendurch etwas frech. 🤭 Nimmt man sich etwas Zeit, dann kommt er mehr zu Ruhe und ist auch in der Lage, einigermaßen gut an der Leine zu laufen. Grundsätzlich benötigt er aber noch Nachhilfe im kleinen Hunde 1x1. Ob er mit Artgenossen verträglich ist, konnten wir bislang noch nicht testen. Für Ginger wünschen wir uns aktive Menschen, die Lust haben, mit ihm die Welt zu erkunden und ihn zu fordern und zu fördern. Videos von Ginger findet ihr auf unserer Facebook-Seite. Info u.

About GINGER

What life with GINGER looks like

GINGER is a adult belgian malinois dog waiting at Tier-Not-Hilfe 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 GINGER, answered.

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