Malana

Mixed Breed · Female

Our lovely Malana is a very affectionate, people-oriented cuddlebug who could move mountains for just a few pettings. You simply can’t help but fall in love with this sweet little dog. She walks nicely on the leash, travels effortlessly in the car, and absolutely wants to please her human. When it comes to interacting with other dogs, she’s a bit more selective—her choice is based on mutual sympathy, just like in real life. Malana is now looking for a home with people who will appreciate her loyalty and unconditional love. A place where she can be a princess……..

DE·Show original

Unsere hübsche Malana ist eine sehr anhängliche, menschenbezogene Kuschelmaus, die für ein paar Streicheleinheiten „Berge versetzt“. Diese liebenswerte Hündin muss man einfach ins Herz schließen. Sie läuft schön an der Leine, fährt problemlos im Auto mit und möchte ihrem Menschen unbedingt gefallen. Im Umgang mit ihren Artgenossen ist sie schon etwas wählerischer, da entscheidet sie nach Sympathie – eben wie im richtigen Leben. Malana sucht nun ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihre Treue und bedingungslose Liebe zu schätzen wissen. Einen Platz auf dem sie Prinzessin sein darf……..

About Malana

What life with Malana looks like

Malana is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Malana, answered.

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