Magia

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Magia came to our partner shelter, Refugio Canino La Reserva, in August 2023. At the time she had two puppies with her, who fortunately found homes quickly. Perhaps she once had an owner and was abandoned with her babies. Unfortunately, we know nothing about her past. What we do know is that Magia is a wonderful Malinois female. She is very people-oriented and super friendly. In pictures she often appears reserved, almost mistrustful. But this impression is deceptive and far from the reality. When you visit her in her enclosure, she shows her open nature and above all her energy. Typical of the breed, she looks for things to do, and in her pack she is definitely the boss who sets the rules. But she is never aggressive. She is tolerant, though she should either be kept as a single dog or with a canine companion who lets her have her way without being overly impressed. With people she is an affectionate female who craves closeness, enjoys being petted and simply wants to belong. She is always nice to everyone. Magia is a wonderful companion who walks perfectly on the lead, as if she had never done anything else her whole life. Magia unfortunately has a small health issue: she tested positive for leishmaniasis. However, she shows no symptoms whatsoever and is completely fit. Her treatment is uncomplicated and inexpensive. Of course there are a few things to keep in mind, but this condition should not stop anyone from giving a wonderful dog like Magia a home. We are of course happy to provide detailed, open and entirely non-binding advice. We want to do everything we can so that Magia does not have to stay in the shelter, because she is still a "young senior" and fit. She deserves to explore forests and meadows with her new family, sleep in a cozy basket and be spoiled with lots of love. If you want to give a Malinois female from animal welfare the chance of her life, get in touch with us! People-oriented, friendly, behaviorally typical for the breed, full of energy. Magia is vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and has a European pet passport. How does an adoption work? We explain it step by step. For legal reasons we do not place animals in Austria. Other neighboring countries are possible by arrangement.

Magia kam im August 2023 in unser Partnertierheim Refugio Canino La Reserva. Sie hatte zu diesem Zeitpunkt zwei Welpen bei sich, die zum Glück schnell ein Zuhause gefunden haben. Vielleicht hatte sie mal einen Besitzer und wurde mit ihren Babys entsorgt. Wir wissen leider nichts über ihre Vergangenheit. Was wir aber wissen, ist, dass Magia eine tolle Malinois-Hündin ist. Sie ist sehr menschenbezogen und super freundlich. Auf Bildern wirkt sie oft zurückhaltend, fast schon misstrauisch. Doch dieser Eindruck täuscht und ist weit von der Realität entfernt. Besucht man sie in ihrem Gehege, zeigt sie ihr offenes Wesen und vor allem ihre Energie. Rassetypisch sucht sie sich etwas zu tun und in ihrem Rudel ist sie definitiv die Chefin, die die Regeln aufstellt. Dabei ist sie aber nie aggressiv. Sie ist verträglich, sollte aber entweder als Einzelhund gehalten werden oder mit einem Hundekumpel, der sie halt machen lässt ohne sich sonderlich beeindrucken zu lassen. Zu Menschen ist sie eine zutrauliche Hündin, die sich nach Nähe sehnt, Streicheleinheiten genießt und einfach nur dazugehören möchte. Sie ist immer nett zu jedem. Magia ist eine wunderbare Begleiterin, die perfekt an der Leine läuft, so, als hätte sie ihr ganzes Leben lang nichts anderes getan. Magia hat leider ein kleines Handicap: Sie wurde positiv auf Leishmaniose getestet. Sie zeigt jedoch keinerlei Symptome und ist rundum fit. Ihre Behandlung ist unkompliziert und kostengünstig. Natürlich gibt es ein paar Dinge zu beachten, aber diese Erkrankung sollte niemanden davon abhalten, einem wunderbaren Hund wie Magia ein Zuhause zu schenken. Wir beraten dazu selbstverständlich gerne ausführlich, offen und ganz unverbindlich. Wir möchten alles versuchen, damit Magia nicht im Tierheim bleiben muss, denn noch ist sie eine “junge Seniorin” und fit. Sie hat es verdient, Wälder und Wiesen mit ihrer neuen Familie zu erkunden, in einem kuscheligen Körbchen zu schlafen und mit ganz viel Liebe verwöhnt zu werden. Wenn Du einer Mali-Hündin aus dem Tierschutz die Chance ihres Lebens geben willst, melde Dich bei uns! menschenbezogen, freundlich, verhaltenstypisch für die Rasse, voller Energie Magia ist geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und hat einen europäischen Heimtierausweis. Wie läuft eine Adoption ab? Wir erklären es Schritt für Schritt. Wir vermitteln aus gesetzlichen Gründen nicht nach Österreich. Andere Nachbarländer sind nach Absprache möglich.

About Magia

What life with Magia looks like

Magia is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Sonnenpfoten e.V. in Lenningen.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Magia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Magia?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Sonnenpfoten e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Magia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Magia if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Sonnenpfoten e.V. whether they will for Magia, what they require (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 Magia already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Sonnenpfoten e.V. lists Magia as vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Sonnenpfoten e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Magia isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Sonnenpfoten e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Magia 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.
