Julie

Belgian Malinois · Female · 4 years

HOW SHE CAME TO US: Julie, an adult Malinois-mix female with a very playful personality, was taken in after a breeding facility was shut down. She came to us from a breeding facility, but she is most likely a dog that once had an owner and some training. She walks nicely on a leash, comes when called, and brings back her toys. During walks she is notably calm: she does not rush or pull, and prefers to sniff around. She often sits down in front of us or beside us even while walking, just to get a little petting. Quite often she lines up beside our feet with the precision of dogs trained to "heel," so she may well have had that kind of training before. She does not like strangers and defends her territory firmly against them. She will take almost anything she can move; with treats these "treasures" can be traded, but she will not give them back on her own. Since she came to us from difficult circumstances, where hunger was probably part of daily life, she guards her food. We recommend Julie only to experienced adopters who have lived with a dog with behavioral issues. The most suitable home for Julie is a house with a garden; we do not recommend a flat. Important! Please apply to adopt only if you are committed for life and are a responsible pet owner for whom the dog is not a garden ornament but a family member. You agree that when moving (whether abroad, from a garden to a flat, or to another rental), you will take your dog/cat with you as you would another family member, and make sure that if anything happens to you, they will still have a secure home.

BEKERÜLÉSÉNEK KÖRÜLMÉNYEI: Szaporítótelep felszámolás után került hozzánk Julie egy nagyon bolondos, felnőtt Malinois-keverék szuka. Szaporítótelepről érkezett hozzánk, ugyanakkor nagy valószínűséggel korábban gazdás, képzett kutya lehetett. Szépen sétál pórázon, jól behívható, a játékait visszahozza. A séták alatt kifejezetten nyugodt: nem rohan, nem húz, inkább szaglászik. Gyakran beül elénk vagy mellénk még séta közben is, csak hogy egy kis simogatást kapjon. Sokszor olyan pontosan sorol be a lábunk mellé, mint azok a kutyák, akiket „heelingre” (lábhoz követésre) tanítottak, így könnyen lehet, hogy korábban valóban részesült ilyen képzésben. Az idegeneket nem kedveli, velük szemben erősen védi a területét. Szinte mindent elvisz, ami mozdítható; jutalomfalattal ezek a „kincsek” elcserélhetőek, de magától nem adja vissza őket. Mivel nehéz körülmények közül érkezett hozzánk, ahol valószínűleg az éhezés a mindennapok része volt, az ételét védi. Julie-t kizárólag tapasztalt gazdinak ajánljuk, aki élt már együtt viselkedésproblémás kutyával. Julienak a legmegfelelőbb otthon egy kertesház, csak lakásba nem ajánljuk. Fontos! Kérünk, hogy csak abban az esetben jelentkezz örökbefogadónak, ha egy életre elköteleződnél és felelős állattartó vagy, akinél a kutya nem kerti dísz, hanem családtag. Vállalod, hogy költözésnél (akár külföldre, akár kertből lakásba, akár másik albérletbe) a kutyádat/macskádat, mint egy másik családtagodat viszed magaddal és gondoskodsz arról, hogy ha veled bármi történik, neki akkor is legyen biztos otthona.

About Julie

What life with Julie looks like

Julie is a large adult belgian malinois dog waiting at Rex Kutyaotthon in Budapest.

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.

🇭🇺Adopting from Hungary

Hungarian shelters operate at high capacity given the country's stray population. Animals leave sterilized, chipped, and with a passport. Many shelters coordinate transport to Germany, Austria, and the Nordics.

Frequently asked

Adopting Julie, answered.

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