How do I contact the shelter about Malik?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Malik on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Malik if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) 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 Malik 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 Malik 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 Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Malik 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.

Born in June 2020, he is a handy companion with his height of 44 cm and weight of 12 kg. Unlike many other Podencos, Malik seems to have only had positive experiences with people - he is grateful when someone spends time with him, and shows himself always friendly and open. His love for people is clearly noticeable, and he enjoys every affection he receives. Malik is compatible with female dogs, with male dogs it depends on sympathy - sometimes he shows a small portion of dominance, but with patience and understanding this can also be well managed. Malik is a smart dog who carefully observes his surroundings and curiously explores them. He loves walks through forests and fields, where he also likes to hunt mice - this brings him great joy and shows his lively, intelligent nature. However, Malik carries a challenge: his blood test has shown that he is leishmaniasis positive. Fortunately, he shows no symptoms, and with the right medical treatment, a balanced diet and regular medical monitoring, Malik can lead a happy, fulfilled life. He needs people who have experience with this disease, who know how to deal with it, and who give Malik the love and care he deserves so much. His new home should be in a rural area, with a securely fenced garden where Malik can play freely and safely. Walks in nature, exploring forests and fields, hunting mice - all of these are small adventures that make his heart beat faster. If you already have experience with Podencos and leishmaniasis and can imagine giving Malik a loving, permanent home, then do not hesitate to contact us. Malik is ready to start his new life as soon as possible - fully vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and with a Mediterranean test in his luggage. He is eagerly waiting for people who will give him the chance for a happy life, full of love, patience and trust.

Notfall - Leishmaniose positiv Malik möchte dein Leben bereichern Malik ist ein besonderer Hund, der mit seinem freundlichen Wesen und seiner sanften Art sofort das Herz berührt. Geboren im Juni 2020, ist er mit seinen 44 cm Größe und 12 kg ein handlicher Begleiter. Anders als manch andere Podenco scheint Malik mit Menschen nur positive Erfahrungen gemacht zu haben – er ist dankbar, wenn man sich mit ihm beschäftigt, und zeigt sich stets freundlich und offen. Seine Liebe zu Menschen ist deutlich spürbar, und er genießt jede Zuwendung, die er bekommen darf. Mit Hündinnen ist Malik verträglich, bei Rüden entscheidet die Sympathie – manchmal zeigt er eine kleine Portion Dominanz, doch mit Geduld und Verständnis lässt sich auch das gut in den Griff bekommen. Malik ist ein schlauer Hund, der seine Umgebung aufmerksam beobachtet und neugierig erkundet. Er liebt Spaziergänge durch Wald und Feld, bei denen er auch gerne Mäuse sucht – das macht ihm großen Spaß und zeigt seine lebendige, intelligente Natur. Doch Malik trägt eine Herausforderung mit sich: Sein Bluttest hat ergeben, dass er Leishmaniose positiv ist. Glücklicherweise zeigt er keinerlei Symptome, und mit der richtigen medikamentösen Behandlung, einer ausgewogenen Ernährung und regelmäßiger medizinischer Überwachung kann Malik ein glückliches, erfülltes Leben führen. Er braucht Menschen, die Erfahrung mit dieser Krankheit haben, die wissen, wie man damit umgeht, und die Malik die Liebe und Fürsorge schenken, die er so sehr verdient. Sein neues Zuhause sollte in einer ländlichen Umgebung liegen, mit einem hundesicher eingezäunten Garten, in dem Malik frei und sicher toben kann. Spaziergänge durch die Natur, das Erkunden von Wäldern und Feldern, das Mäusejagen – all das sind für ihn kleine Abenteuer, die sein Herz höher schlagen lassen. Wenn Sie bereits Erfahrung mit Podencos und Leishmaniose haben und sich vorstellen können, Malik ein liebevolles, dauerhaftes Zuhause zu schenken, dann zögern Sie nicht, sich bei uns zu melden. Malik ist bereit, bei nächster Gelegenheit in sein neues Leben zu starten – vollständig geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und mit einem Mittelmeertest im Gepäck. Er wartet sehnsüchtig auf Menschen, die ihm die Chance auf ein glückliches Leben geben, voller Liebe, Geduld und Vertrauen.

About Malik

What life with Malik looks like

Malik is a large adult podenco dog waiting at Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) in Vilseck.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
