HATCHI

Belgian Malinois · Male · Adult · 4 years

Hatchi is a 3-year-old three-legged Belgian Malinois who unfortunately hasn't had many reference points in his life. Little exposed to the outside world, he's still discovering many things and can be wary of strangers or new environments. He's a sensitive dog who observes a lot and needs time to give his trust. Once reassured and confident, Hatchi proves to be an endearing, curious and willing companion. He still has work to continue to gain emotional security and stability, but progresses very well when accompanied with consistency and patience. Cat compatibility: No; Dog compatibility: Yes; Child compatibility: depends on profile.

FR·Show original

Hatchi est un jeune malinois tripatte de 3 ans qui n’a malheureusement pas eu beaucoup de repères dans sa vie. Peu exposé au monde extérieur, il découvre encore beaucoup de choses et peut se montrer méfiant face aux inconnus ou dans des environnements nouveaux. C’est un chien sensible, qui observe beaucoup et a besoin de temps pour accorder sa confiance. Une fois rassuré et en confiance, Hatchi se révèle être un compagnon attachant, curieux et volontaire. Il a encore du travail à poursuivre pour gagner en sécurité émotionnelle et en stabilité, mais il progresse très bien lorsqu’il est accompagné avec cohérence et patience.

About HATCHI

What life with HATCHI looks like

HATCHI is a large adult belgian malinois dog waiting at Jean Leriche) in Moree.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Three-legged (tripatte), requires patient training for emotional security and socialization

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting HATCHI, answered.

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