Adopt MALCOM

Mixed Breed · Male

Malcolm is a gentle guy who arrived at the shelter scared and withdrawn. Over time, he has relaxed and is now a playful buddy who uses every opportunity to snuggle up to people in a hug. ❤️ Currently, he shares his home at the shelter with another male dog with whom he gets along very well, so he could be expected to have other dogs in his new home. Malcolm has already tried walking on a leash so he is ready for adventures in nature. He loves people so he would get along well with children. Due to his growth, we recommend that children be older. If you want to give our Malcolm a chance to meet life outside the shelter, contact us so he does not wait too long. He is 45cm tall and was born in April 2024. Microchip number: 191100002298872.

Malcom je nježni frajer koji je u sklonište stigao preplašen i povučen u sebe. S vremenom se opustio i sada je prava zaigrana maza koji koristi svaku priliku da se stisne k ljudima u zagrljaj. ❤️ Trenutno svoj dom u skloništu dijeli sa drugim mužjakom sa kojim se odlično slaže tako da ga u novom domu mogu čekati drugi psi. Malcom je već isprobao šetnju na povodcu tako da je spreman za avanture u prirodi. Obožava ljude tako da bi se odlično slagao sa djecom. Radi njegovog rasta preporučamo da djeca budu starije dobi. Ako želite pružiti priliku našem Malcomu da upozna život izvan skloništa, javite nam se da ne čeka predugo. Visok je 45cm i rođen 04/2024. godine. Broj mikročipa: 191100002298872.

About MALCOM

What life with MALCOM looks like

MALCOM is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Udruga Spas Varaždin in Varaždin.

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 Croatia

Croatian shelters include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID in the adoption process. Several work with Italian and German rescue networks for placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting MALCOM, answered.

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