Kalle

Maltese · Male · Senior · 10 years

Kalle is a small Maltese male with a big heart, looking for a quiet and patient forever home. Kalle is neutered, gets along with other dogs, and recently had a thorough dental check-up, so he is now top-fit and ready for a new chapter in his life. The sweet dog has one small quirk: Kalle is deaf. However, this does not affect his daily life at all - he loves his walks and enjoys life to the fullest. Since Kalle values a bit more peace and structure due to his age and deafness, we are looking for a home without young children. If you enjoy communicating with him on a very special level and want to give him a loving home, please get in touch.

DE·Show original

Kalle ist ein kleiner Malteser-Rüde mit ganz viel Herz, der auf der Suche nach einem ruhigen und geduldigen Für-immer-Zuhause ist. Kalle ist kastriert, mit anderen Hunden verträglich und hat vor Kurzem eine gründliche Zahnsanierung hinter sich, sodass er jetzt topfit und bereit für ein neues Kapitel in seinem Leben ist. Eine kleine Besonderheit bringt der süße Rüde mit: Kalle ist taub. Das beeinträchtigt ihn in seinem Alltag jedoch überhaupt nicht – er liebt seine Spaziergänge und genießt das Leben in vollen Zügen. Da Kalle aufgrund seines Alters und seiner Taubheit etwas mehr Ruhe und Struktur schätzt, wünschen wir uns für ihn ein Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder. Wenn du Freude daran hast, dich mit ihm auf einer ganz besonderen Ebene zu verständigen und ihm ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchtest, melde dich gerne.

About Kalle

What life with Kalle looks like

Kalle is a small senior maltese dog waiting at Tierheim Neuwied in Neuwied.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Kalle, answered.

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