Malin

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

FACTSHEET: ALL ABOUT Malin Pictures (click to enlarge previews) Malin is certainly worth a first and second look! Malin is a very nice young dog. She gets excited and dances around when we arrive and wants to play with us. She has started leash walking and often likes to just sit in the car. She doesn’t have much life experience but we are working with her. She has a gentle nature with people and is very easy to have around, take to the vet etc. Malin was taken from the street for sterilisation by the municipality and then it was found that she had leishmania. They don’t have a human space for her so we agreed to take her in. Species:dog Date of Birth:2023 (estimated) Can travel after:4 weeks Gender:female Neutered:yes Health Issues:Leishmania – had symptoms previously, is much better now Please read: Living with a pet with Leishmaniasis Medication:Allopurinol tablets daily. We conducted treatment in May 2024 with Milteforan and her symptoms have ceased at this stage. Weight:18 kg Height:55 cm Behaviour around dogs:In general, she likes other dogs and plays a lot with her room mate Libby. She only gets protective of food, as we believe she was quite starving on the street and had to compete with bigger and older street dogs. Behaviour around cats:Unsure Behaviour around kids:Once confident, fine Could be the only animal:Yes Tags: available for adoption

About Malin

What life with Malin looks like

Malin is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Laiza Strays in Greece.

An young 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 Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.

Frequently asked

Adopting Malin, answered.

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