Madi

Mixed Breed · Female

Compatibility: Females get along well; males are less likely to be compatible. Cats: Unknown—can be tested. Current location: Sokolka Animal Shelter (Poland). Reason for surrender: Abandoned. Madi is brimming with joy and good cheer. With his positive aura, he brings a touch of sunshine into his people’s everyday life every single day. He’s obedient, attentive, and eager to please his human—making life together with him especially enjoyable. At the same time, he always remains composed and conflict-free: he prefers to avoid arguments and wins people over with his calm, balanced nature. He’s already familiar with car rides and handles them with ease, so there’s nothing standing in the way of shared outings. Whether it’s adventurous adventures outdoors or cozy hours at home—he loves being part of everything. Above all, however, he’s a true heartdog who wants to stick by his “person” through thick and thin. Loyal, faithful, and full of affection, he’s looking for someone who’ll give him as much love in return as he gives. ❤️ Madi would love to attend dog training school; he enjoys learning immensely and is always eager to participate.

Verträglichkeit: Hündinnen gut, Rüden eher nicht; Katzen: Nicht bekannt, kann getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Sokolka (Polen) Abgabegrund: Ausgesetzt Madi sprüht vor Lebensfreude und guter Laune. Mit seiner positiven Ausstrahlung bringt er jeden Tag ein Stück Sonnenschein in den Alltag seiner Menschen. Er ist gehorsam, aufmerksam und möchte seinem Menschen gefallen – was das Zusammenleben mit ihm besonders angenehm macht. Dabei zeigt er sich stets souverän und konfliktfrei: Streit geht er lieber aus dem Weg und überzeugt mit seiner ruhigen, ausgeglichenen Art. Das Autofahren kennt er bereits und meistert es entspannt, sodass gemeinsamen Ausflügen nichts im Wege steht. Ob Abenteuer draußen oder gemütliche Stunden zuhause – er ist am liebsten überall dabei. Vor allem aber ist er ein echter Herzenshund, der mit „seinem“ Menschen durch dick und dünn gehen möchte. Treu, loyal und voller Zuneigung sucht er jemanden, der ihm genauso viel Liebe schenkt, wie er sie zurückgibt. ❤️ Gerne würde Madi noch die Hundeschule besuchen, er hat viel Freude am Lernen und ist immer mit Eifer dabei.

About Madi

What life with Madi looks like

Madi is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Madi, answered.

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