Load More .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-363 > .fusion-body .fusion-flex-container Die hübsche Malena lebt bereits seit Mai 2020 im Tierheim in Osijek und wartet dort geduldig auf ihre Chance auf ein eigenes Zuhause. Optisch erinnert Malena stark an einen Labrador-Retriever-Mix. Ihr helles, cremefarbenes Fell, ihre sanften Augen und ihr freundlicher Ausdruck verleihen ihr eine ganz besondere Ausstrahlung. Wenn sie einen anschaut, wirkt es fast so, als würde sie lächeln. Gleichzeitig sieht man sofort, dass in ihr auch eine sportliche und aktive Hündin steckt, die sich gerne bewegt. Malena kam gemeinsam mit sechs nur einen Tag alten Welpen ins Tierheim. Trotz der schwierigen Situation hat sie sich liebevoll um ihre Babys gekümmert und sich als fürsorgliche und starke Hundemama gezeigt. Anfangs war sie körperlich und auch mental in keinem guten Zustand, doch sie hat sich wunderbar erholt und ist heute eine fröhliche, lebenslustige und freundliche Hündin. Sie ist gehorsam, offen gegenüber Menschen und immer bereit für Bewegung und gemeinsame Aktivitäten. Malena liebt es zu laufen und die Welt zu entdecken. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie Menschen, die Freude daran haben, sie artgerecht auszulasten – mit schönen Spaziergängen in der Natur, gemeinsamen Abenteuern oder auch mit etwas Hundetraining. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich sehr gut und zeigt sich sozial und unkompliziert. Ob sie mit Katzen zusammenleben kann, wissen wir derzeit leider nicht. Malena ist eine Hündin mit viel Herz und Lebensfreude – eine echte Zaubermaus, die nur darauf wartet, endlich anzukommen. Nach so vielen Jahren im Tierheim wünschen wir uns für sie von Herzen, dass sie nun endlich ihr eigenes Zuhause findet – bei Menschen, die ihr zeigen, wie schön ein Leben in einer Familie sein kann. Wer schenkt dieser wunderbaren Hündin ihr Happy End? .fusion-body .fusion-button Interesse an einer Adoption?

About Malena

What life with Malena looks like

Malena is a medium-sized adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Nordic Strays 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Malena, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Malena?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Nordic Strays 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?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Nordic Strays e.V. whether they will for Malena, what they require (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?
Nordic Strays e.V. lists Malena as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Nordic Strays e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Malena isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Nordic Strays e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
