Mailo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Hello, I am Mailo - a dear, but sometimes rather quirky character dog! My animal caretaker would like to share my story and tell you about me: Mailo originally came from Romania to us. At first a bit unsure, he soon showed a completely different side. Mailo won the hearts of his caretakers and the passersby quickly. Once he has built trust, he is gentle and affectionate. However, he also shows a protective instinct towards his own people. And that is exactly where the problem lies, which is why our dear "oddball"

Hallo, ich bin Mailo - ein lieber, jedoch manchmal etwas eigenwilliger Charakterhund! Meine Tierpflegerin möchte euch an dieser Stelle gerne von meinem Schicksal berichten und von mir erzählen: Mailo kam ursprünglich aus Rumänien zu uns. Anfangs etwas unsicher, zeigte er sich doch bald von einer ganz anderen Seite. Mailo hat das Herz seiner Pflegerinnen und das der Gassigänger schnell im Sturm erobert. Hat er erstmal Vertrauen gefasst, ist er sanft und schmusebedürftig. Jedoch zeigt er bei "seinen" Leuten auch einen Beschützerinstinkt. Und genau da liegt auch das Problem, weshalb unser liebenswerter "Kauz" aus der

About Mailo

What life with Mailo looks like

Mailo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Montabaur in Montabaur.

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 Mailo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mailo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Montabaur 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 — Tierheim Montabaur 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 Tierheim Montabaur 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.
