MALA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Mala is a female dog who came from another shelter. She is kind and affectionate with humans and is also very dynamic and energetic. She does not get along with other animals, so great vigilance will be required when considering adoption.

FR·Show original

Mala est une adorable femelle croisée Dogue à la recherche de sa famille pour la vie. Très proche de l’humain, Mala est une chienne affectueuse qui apprécie autant les moments de tendresse que les instants de partage. Elle adore les enfants et fera le bonheur d’une famille présente et attentionnée. En revanche, Mala devra être le seul animal du foyer, car elle n’accepte pas la présence d’autres chiens ou de chats dans son quotidien. C’est une chienne obéissante, agréable à vivre et très gourmande ! Les friandises sont d’ailleurs une excellente motivation pour continuer à lui apprendre de nouvelles choses. Grande sportive, elle adore les longues balades, courir et se dépenser. Une maison avec un jardin bien clôturé sera idéale pour qu’elle puisse s’épanouir pleinement. Et parce qu’elle a son petit grain de folie qui la rend si attachante, Mala aime se promener avec sa gamelle dans la gueule. Un adorable petit rituel qui fait sourire tous ceux qui la rencontrent !

About MALA

What life with MALA looks like

MALA is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Étalondes in Etalondes.

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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting MALA, answered.

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