LEO

Belgian Malinois · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Leo is a male, unneutered Malinois born on June 23, 2026. He currently weighs about 14 kilograms and has a shoulder height of around 40 centimeters. As Leo is still young and growing, his size and weight will change significantly. We are looking for responsible people with breed experience who know the requirements of a Malinois. He needs clear, consistent and reliable guidance as well as a balanced mix of physical exercise, mental stimulation and rest training. Leo is an open and curious young dog. He is affectionate, people-oriented, affectionate and playful. At the same time, he can get excited and over-excited in a way typical of his breed. His future owners should help him regulate his excitement and calm down. Leo still needs to learn the basics of dog training and is not yet reliable in house training. He also cannot be left alone and must be gradually accustomed to it. He is generally suitable for family life, provided there is enough time, understanding and experience for his further education. Leo gets along with other dogs. His reaction to cats or small animals has not been tested. Due to his athleticism and enthusiasm for work, he may later be enthusiastic about suitable dog sports. As long as he is still growing, however, exercise and movement should be designed age-appropriately. Leo is still growing and needs people to accompany him expertly and patiently through his further development.

Leo ist ein männlicher, nicht kastrierter Malinois und wurde am 23. Juni 2026 geboren. Aktuell wiegt er etwa 14 Kilogramm und hat eine Schulterhöhe von rund 40 Zentimetern. Da Leo noch jung ist und sich im Wachstum befindet, werden sich seine Größe und sein Gewicht noch deutlich verändern. Für Leo suchen wir verantwortungsbewusste Menschen mit Rasseerfahrung, die wissen, welche Anforderungen ein Malinois mit sich bringt. Er benötigt eine klare, konsequente und verlässliche Führung sowie eine ausgewogene Mischung aus körperlicher Beschäftigung, geistiger Auslastung und Ruhetraining. Leo ist ein aufgeschlossener und neugieriger junger Hund. Er zeigt sich zutraulich, menschenbezogen, verschmust und verspielt. Gleichzeitig kann er sich rassetypisch schnell stark aufregen und überdrehen. Seine zukünftigen Menschen sollten ihm dabei helfen, seine Erregung zu regulieren und zur Ruhe zu kommen. Leo muss das Hunde-Einmaleins noch lernen und ist derzeit noch nicht zuverlässig stubenrein. Auch alleine bleiben kann er bislang nicht und muss kleinschrittig daran gewöhnt werden. Er ist grundsätzlich für ein Familienleben geeignet, sofern ausreichend Zeit, Verständnis und Erfahrung für seine weitere Erziehung vorhanden sind. Mit Artgenossen ist Leo verträglich. Wie er auf Katzen oder Kleintiere reagiert, wurde bislang nicht getestet. Aufgrund seiner Sportlichkeit und Arbeitsfreude könnte er sich später gut für geeigneten Hundesport begeistern. Solange er sich noch im Wachstum befindet, sollten Beschäftigung und Bewegung jedoch altersgerecht gestaltet werden. Leo befindet sich noch im Wachstum und benötigt Menschen, die ihn fachkundig und geduldig durch seine weitere Entwicklung begleiten. -0Fax: 089/90 73 20E-Mail

About LEO

What life with LEO looks like

LEO is a puppy belgian malinois dog waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting LEO, answered.

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