Mailo

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 6 years

Hallo, ich bin Mailo – dein neuer bester Freund? Ich bin Mailo, ein energiegeladener, kluger und neugieriger Hund mit großem Herzen und wachem Verstand. Leider verliere ich aus privaten Gründen mein aktuelles Zuhause, obwohl meine Menschen mich sehr lieben. Jetzt suche ich jemanden, der mir ein neues Für-immer-Zuhause schenkt – vielleicht bist DU das? Ich bin etwa so etwas wie ein „Allrounder“: Ich liebe Kinder jeden Alters, bin gerne draußen unterwegs, tobe, schnüffle und lerne für mein Leben gern. Intelligenzspielzeuge? Neue Kommandos? Herausforderungen beim Spaziergang? Her damit! Ich brauche sowohl körperliche Auslastung als auch geistige Beschäftigung – sonst wird mir langweilig, und das willst du nicht 😉 Aber ich brauche auch jemanden, der weiß, wie man mit einem Hund wie mir umgeht. Ich bin wachsam, manchmal etwas stürmisch vor Energie, und brauche klare Führung, faire Regeln und vor allem Verlässlichkeit. Wenn du mir Orientierung gibst, folge ich dir treu und aufmerksam. Ach ja – eins sollte ich noch sagen: Ich habe eine leichte Form von Epilepsie. Die kommt zum Glück sehr selten vor und lässt sich mit Medikamenten gut kontrollieren. Damit komme ich prima klar und fühle mich pudelwohl (auch wenn ich kein Pudel bin 😉). Wenn du dir einen loyalen, klugen und lebensfrohen Begleiter wünschst, der dein Leben bereichert und für jedes Abenteuer bereit ist, dann melde dich. Ich warte auf dich – mit wedelndem Schwanz und großen Hoffnungen. Bis bald? Dein Mailo 🐾 Geimpft, entwurmt, kastriert

About Mailo

What life with Mailo looks like

Mailo is a large adult border collie dog waiting at Cats & Dogs in Not in Furth.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Mailo, answered.

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