Mali

Belgian Malinois · Male · Senior · 13 years

Mali was found by a volunteer. It lived at the doorstep of its own home, in the street, one of the most marginal areas of our city. Its owner was inside the house, not concerned about the animal, and we managed to get them to hand it over. Mali was in very poor condition and we took it to the veterinarian. It tested positive for ehrlichia, Leishmania, and had anemia. Currently, Mali is in very good health. It has been negative for Leishmania for a long time, but still takes medication to reinforce its defenses. The ehrlichia is resistant to the treatment, and we have to do periodic checks and give it medication for it. Additionally, it takes condroprotectors for its joints. It is very well-controlled and the treatment is making it very healthy.

Dio positivo en erlichia, leishmania y tenía anemia. Actualmente Mali está muy bien de salud. Es negativo a leishmania desde hace mucho tiempo, pero sigue tomando medicación para el refuerzo de sus defensas. La erlichia se le resiste, y tenemos que hacerle controles periódicos y darle medicación para ello. Además, toma condroprotectores para las articulaciones. Está muy controlado y el tratamiento hace que esté muy bien de salud.

About Mali

What life with Mali looks like

Mali is a large senior belgian malinois dog waiting at UPRODEA (Unión Protectora de Animales) in Spain.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mali, answered.

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