How do I contact the shelter about Griff?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Griff on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Griff if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierfreunde im Fläming 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 Griff 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 Griff 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 Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Griff 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.

Griff

Belgian Malinois · Male · Adult · 8 years

Griff Rasse: Malinois Mischling Age: born 14.10.2017 Size: approx. 60cm-65cm Weight: approx. 30Kg Neutered: Yes Other dogs? Yes Children? Knows not cats? Yes Mediterranean test? Negative! Before departure, an up-to-date test will be performed. Location: private foster home (K) Griff is looking for a loving home🐾 Griff currently lives with a shepherd, but has proven unsuitable for working with sheep. He is looking for a new home, as the shepherd can no longer provide for two dogs. The friendly and outgoing male lives currently without problems with an unneutered male and cats. He approaches people openly and friendly. Griff was diagnosed with bilateral severe hip dysplasia (HD). Due to his advanced age, he would no longer be subjected to surgical treatment. Instead, he should be supported in the future with suitable dietary supplements, an adapted exercise program and regular physiotherapy to maintain his quality of life as best as possible. So far, Griff has shown no mobility restrictions. Griff wishes a quiet and loving home, where he can enjoy his twilight years. ❤️ Further dogs and our application form can be found on our homepage under

Griff Rasse: Malinois Mischling Alter: geb. 14.10.2017 Größe: ca. 60cm-65cm Gewicht: ca. 30Kg Kastriert: Ja andere Hunde? Ja Kinder? Kennt er nicht Katzen? Ja Mittelmeertest? Negativ! Vor der Ausreise wird ein aktueller Test gemacht. Aufenthaltsort: private Pflegestelle(K) Griff sucht ein liebevolles Zuhause🐾 Griff lebt derzeit bei einem Schäfer, hat sich jedoch für die Arbeit an den Schafen als ungeeignet erwiesen. Er sucht ein neues Zuhause, da Schäfer die Versorgung von zwei Hunden nicht mehr gewährleisten kann. Der freundliche und aufgeschlossene Rüde lebt aktuell problemlos mit einem unkastrierten Rüden sowie Katzen zusammen. Menschen begegnet er offen und freundlich. Bei Griff wurde eine beidseitige schwere Hüftdysplasie (HD) festgestellt. Aufgrund seines fortgeschrittenen Alters möchte man ihm eine operative Behandlung nicht mehr zumuten. Stattdessen sollte er künftig durch geeignete Nahrungsergänzungen, ein angepasstes Bewegungsprogramm und regelmäßige Physiotherapie unterstützt werden, um seine Lebensqualität bestmöglich zu erhalten. Bisher zeigt Griff jedoch keinerlei Bewegungseinschränkungen. Griff wünscht sich ein ruhiges und liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er seinen Lebensabend genießen darf. ❤️ Weitere Hunde und unseren Bewerbungsbogen finden Sie auf unserer Homepage unter

About Griff

What life with Griff looks like

Griff is a adult belgian malinois dog waiting at Tierfreunde im Fläming 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.
