Malaka

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

My story: Here is Malaka, a 3-year-old Greenland dog crossbreed. These are rather independent dogs but show affection towards their humans. Currently, Malaka gets along well with other dogs but this socialization will need to continue with future adopters so that she feels comfortable. Physical and mental activities will be essential for her to thrive best. My personality: This sweetheart is very comfortable with women but remains shy with men, probably due to certain aftereffects from her previous life. She will therefore need an adaptation period with certain people. She is a very gentle dog and of a rather calm nature, she enjoys taking naps in her basket and basking in the sun. Malaka likes to come for cuddles and loves being scratched under the chin. Likes / Dislikes: She loves walks and is very curious about her surroundings. A family without cats is required for her. Malaka is a big fan of water, she will be happy to discover new walking areas. She can go to a family with children without any problem.

Mon histoire : Voici Malaka,une croisée groenlandais de 3 ans.Ce sont des chiens plutôt indépendants mais qui se montrent affectueux avec leurs humains.Actuellement Malaka s’entend bien avec les autres chiens mais cette socialisation sera à continuer avec les futurs adoptants pour qu’elle soit bien dans ses pattes.Des activités physiques et mentales seront indispensables pour qu’elle s’épanouisse au mieux. Mon caractère : Cette louloute est très à l’aise avec les femmes mais elle reste timide avec les hommes sûrement dû à certaines séquelles de sa vie d’avant.Il lui faudra donc un temps d’adaptation avec certaines personnes.C’est une chienne très douce et de nature plutôt calme,elle aime faire la sieste dans son panier et prendre le soleil.Malaka aime venir chercher les câlins et aime les gratouilles sous le cou. J'aime / J'aime pas : Elle adore les balades et est très curieuse de ce qui l’entoure.Une famille sans chat sera demandé pour elle.Malaka est une grande adepte de l’eau,elle sera ravie de découvrir de nouveaux endroits de balade.Elle pourra partir dans une famille avec des enfants sans problème.

About Malaka

What life with Malaka looks like

Malaka is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at APAA Trégrom in France.

An young 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 Malaka, answered.

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