Malcolm

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 3 years

Malcolm – strong character looking for an active home Malcolm is an extraordinary dog. Through his expression, which reflects his zest for life, he draws attention from people. With Malcolm, it will never be boring. The handsome male dog loves to run and explore the world. However, Malcolm needs strong and experienced people. Our Polish animal protection colleagues describe him as energetic and stubborn. He has never learned to take responsibility or trust. When he gets too excited or is overly enthusiastic, he tends to underestimate his strength and can then become a bit of a handful. Our animal protection colleagues train with him and are confident that Malcolm will learn to be led and control his temperament with experienced people. For Malcolm, we are looking for experienced people who are aware of the challenge that bringing Malcolm into his new home will entail. Are you up for this challenge? If so, Malcolm would be ready to embark on his journey into his new and happy life, learning with patience and love everything he needs for a happy dog life. Take some time to decide if you want to give a home from an animal shelter to a dog. Love at first sight is an important aspect, but it should not be the sole factor in your decision. Malcolm will place his loyal dog heart in your hands, and his trust in people should not be let down again. Adopting a dog from an animal shelter means taking on a special responsibility. You are aware of this responsibility and have serious interest in adopting Malcolm, then please contact the responsible mediator. We would also be happy to provide a foster home. You can find the contact details further below.

Malcolm – starker Charakter auf der Suche nach einem aktiven zu Hause Malcolm ist ein außergewöhnlicher Hund. Durch seinen Ausdruck, der seine Lebenslust widerspiegelt, zieht er die Aufmerksamkeit der Menschen auf sich. Mit Malcolm wird es nie langweilig. Der hübsche Rüde liebt es zu rennen und die Welt zu entdecken. Allerdings braucht Malcolm durchsetzungsfähige und erfahrene Menschen. Unsere polnischen Tierschutzkollegen beschreiben ihn als energiegeladen und stur. Er hat nie gelernt Verantwortung abzugeben und vertrauen zu können. Wenn er sich zu sehr freut oder aufgeregt ist, unterschätzt er leicht seine Kraft und knappt dann auch zu. Unsere Tierschutzkollegen trainieren mit ihm und sind sich sicher, dass Malcolm bei erfahrenen Menschen lernen wird, sich führen zu lassen und sein Temperament zu kontrollieren. Für Malcolm suchen wir erfahrene Menschen, die sich der Herausforderung bewusst sind, die Malcolm in sein neues zu Hause bringen wird. Trauen Sie sich diese Herausforderung zu? Wenn ja, wäre Malcolm bereit, seine Reise in sein neues und glückliches Leben anzutreten und mit Geduld und Liebe alles zu lernen, was er für ein glückliches Hundeleben braucht. Nehmen Sie sich einen Moment Zeit für die Entscheidung einem Hund aus dem Tierschutz ein Zuhause geben zu wollen. Liebe auf den ersten Blick ist ein wesentlicher Aspekt aber er sollte nicht der alleinige für die Entscheidung sein. Malcolm wird sein treues Hundeherz in Ihre Hände legen und sein Vertrauen in die Menschen sollte nicht nochmal enttäuscht werden. Die Adoption eines Hundes aus dem Tierschutz bedeutet die Übernahme einer besonderen Verantwortung. Sie sind sich dieser Verantwortung bewusst und Sie haben ernsthaftes Interesse an einer Adoption von Malcolm, dann nehmen Sie bitte Kontakt zu der zuständigen Vermittlerin auf. Auch über die Bereitstellung einer Pflegestelle würden wir uns freuen. Die Kontaktdaten finden Sie weiter unten.

About Malcolm

What life with Malcolm looks like

Malcolm is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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 Malcolm, answered.

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