MALENA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Hat Paten: Anja S. und Ursula M. Rasse: kleine Mischlingshündin Verträglichkeit: Gut mit Artgenossen verträglich; Katzen: Gut verträglich. Gesundheit: Hat nur eine Niere, kann gut damit leben. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Pirot (Serbien) Abgabegrund: Fundhund Die kleine Malena wartet schon sehr lange auf ein Zuhause. Vor ca. 5 Jahren musste ihr eine Niere entfernt werden. Sie hat sich gut von dem Eingriff erholt und lebt seitdem ganz normal ohne besondere Vorkommnisse mit einer Niere. Ihre neuen Halter sollten sie regelmäßig kontrollieren lassen. Idealerweise wäre ein gut eingestelltes Nierenfutter für sie. Im Tierheim bekommt sie ganz normales Futter und kommt gut damit klar. Malena ist eine kleine Mischlingshündin, die sehr alt werden kann. Sie hat sich bis jetzt so toll durchgekämpft. Im Tierheim ist das Leben sehr hart. Bei Wind und Wetter müssen die Hunde draußen leben. Der Hunger und die Einsamkeit tun ihr übriges, dass es seelisch extrem schwer ist für die Fellnasen dort. Für sie suchen wir ein ruhiges gemütliches Plätzchen, wo sie noch viele schöne Jahre verbringen darf.

About MALENA

What life with MALENA looks like

MALENA is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting MALENA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about MALENA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.v. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw MALENA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt MALENA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is MALENA 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 MALENA 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.v. early rather than rehoming privately; they know MALENA 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.
