Madi

Mixed Breed · Female

Compatibility with others: Female dogs: good, male dogs: rather not; Cats: Not known, can be tested. Current location: animal shelter Sokolka (Poland) Drop-off reason: Abandoned Madi is already visually a very special dog. His wonderful blue eyes make him unmistakable. Due to stress and poor nutrition, his fur was in a very poor condition. It is growing slowly. His blood and hormone values were good in the blood test. He is very loving, obedient, loyal, and friendly. He prefers to avoid conflicts with other dogs. He is patient but still suffers greatly from being confined in the kennel. He so desperately wants to be with his people. He cries a lot out of despair. It is urgently time for him to find a home, as he cannot cope with the stress. He needs lots of cuddles and attention. We think that he still needs to practice being alone a little more. He is a great dog who already walks well on a leash.

Verträglichkeit: Hündinnen gut, Rüden eher nicht; Katzen: Nicht bekannt, kann getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Sokolka (Polen) Abgabegrund: Ausgesetzt Madi ist schon rein optisch ein ganz besonderer Hund. Seine wundervollen blauen Augen machen ihn unverwechselbar. Aufgrund von Stress und schlechter Ernährung war sein Fell in einem sehr schlechten Zustand. Es wächst langsam nach. Seine Blut- und Hormonwerte waren im Blutbild gut. Er ist sehr lieb, gehorsam, treu und freundlich. Konflikten mit anderen Hunden geht er lieber aus dem Weg. Er ist geduldig, leidet aber trotzdem sehr unter dem Eingesperrt sein im Zwinger. Er möchte so gerne mit seinen Menschen zusammen sein. Er weint viel vor lauter Verzweiflung. Es wird dringend Zeit, dass er ein Zuhause findet, da er dem Stress nicht gewachsen ist. Er braucht viele Schmuseeinheiten und Aufmerksamkeit. Wir denken, dass er das Alleine bleiben noch ein wenig üben muss. Er ist ein super Hund, der schon gut an der Leine geht.

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.
