Adopt Malina

Belgian Malinois · Female · Adult · 8 years

When "popping like a raspberry" is heard, it's a guarantee that it will be quick, easy, and effortless. The exact opposite of trying to raise and train a raspberry. She is not a Malina like a raspberry. Our Malina is a mini version of a Belgian Malinois. She is a sweet girl, a medium-sized torpedo with great potential. Like a true Belgian, she was created for work, activity, and cooperation with a person. She tries very hard, wants to, and loves people. However, the outside world is difficult for her. She hasn't learned to properly perceive what's going on around her and reacts excessively. Her every step shows uncertainty. Whether it is safe, whether she is doing it right. Most of her barks come from fear, lack of confidence, and understanding of common situations. She has good basic training and education, but in a busy environment she forgets them. She loves walks, initially pulling like a cannon on a leash, but she tries. The level of activity should match her age and health, and it should be considered that such a dog can't be physically exhausted, it is thinking and learning that tire her out. Mali needs more experienced owners, without small children, who will have enough time for her. No inappropriate pressure or physical punishment. She needs a calm environment, in an apartment, in a house. She needs to be directed towards calm activities, mental work. Quiet walks in nature. Gradual and careful testing of civilization. It's not that it's impossible to adopt her on a housing estate in Prague, but it will be hell for you, Mali, and the neighbors. However, if she finds a kind family that helps her, understands her needs, and offers her calm, routine, rules, and love, she will be a loving and devoted dog. According to mythology, raspberries were originally white fruits, until the blood of the nymphs permanently colored them red. When you decide on adopting Mali, you will sweat blood and tears. You will learn, work, and feel as if you are on a survival training camp. If you succeed, you will definitely feel all-powerful, perfect, like when you finish a Spartan Race. Adopting such a breed is not for everyone; you must have big plans and understand that for your dog you will have to sacrifice something, but if you do, you won't find a more loyal and more capable partner. Malina is vaccinated, spayed, treated against external and internal parasites, and microchipped. If you are interested in adopting hardworking Mali, we will ask you to send an email to . In the email, write basic information about yourself, your family, other animals, environment, and experience with dogs. Basically, an animal resume, so we have an idea of what life you offer her. We will respond to the email, call you, and arrange the first meeting. Thank you for the photos Ráďov vividphoto.cz Temperament:

Když zazní „slupnout jako malinu“, je to záruka toho, že to bude rychlé, snadné, bez námahy. Přesný opak toho, když se snažíte malinu vychovat a vycvičit. Ona totiž není Malina jako malina. Naše Malina je taková mini verze belgického ovčáka malinois. Je to sladká holka, střední torpédo s velkým potenciálem. Jako správný belgičan je stvořena k práci, aktivitě, spolupráci s člověkem. Moc se snaží, chce, člověka miluje. Těžký je pro ni však svět venku. Nenaučila se správně vnímat dění kolem a reaguje přehnaně. V každém jejím kroku je vidět nejistota. Zda je to bezpečné, zda to dělá dobře. Většina jejích trablíků tedy vychází ze strachu, z nedostatku sebevědomí a poznání běžných situací. Má hezké základy výchovy i výcviku, ale v rušném prostředí na ně zapomíná. Procházky miluje, z počátku na vodítku táhne jako dělo, ale snaží se. Míra aktivity by měla odpovídat věku a zdraví a je třeba myslet na to, že takový pes fyzicky unavit nejde, vyčerpá ho přemýšlení a učení. Mali potřebuje zkušenější majitele, bez malých dětí, kteří na ni budou mít dostatek času. Žádný nevhodný nátlak a fyzické tresty. Potřebuje zázemí v klidu, v bytě, v domě. Potřebuje směřovat ke klidovým aktivitám, práci hlavou. Klidné procházky přírodou. Postupné a opatrné testování civilizace. Není to tak, že není možné si ji adoptovat na sídliště v Praze, ale bude to peklo pro Vás, Mali i sousedy. Pokud by však našla milou rodinu, která jí pomůže, pochopí její potřeby a nabídne jí klid, rutinu, pravidla a lásku, bude milujícím a oddaným psem. Maliny byly dle mytologie původně bílé plody, než je krev nymfy navždy zbarvila do ruda. Když se rozhodnete pro adopci Maliny, budete potit krev a slzy. Budete se učit, makat a mít pocit, že jste na výcvikovém kempu zaměřeném na přežití. Pokud ale uspějete, budete se cítit rozhodně všemocně, dokonale, jako když doběhnete Spartan Race. Adopce takového plemene není pro každého, musíte mít velké plány a pochopit, že pro svého psa budete muset i něco obětovat, když to však uděláte, nenajdete oddanějšího a šikovnějšího parťáka. Malina je očkovaná, kastrovaná, ošetřená proti vnějším a vnitřním parazitům a označená mikročipem. V případě zájmu o adopci pracovité Maliny Vás poprosíme o zaslání e-mailu na . Do e-mailu napište základní informace o sobě, své rodině, dalších zvířatech, zázemí a zkušenostech se psy. Prostě takový zvířecí životopis, ať máme představu o tom, jaký život jí nabízíte. Na e-mail Vám odpovíme, zavoláme a domluvíme si první seznamovací návštěvu. Za focení děkujeme Ráďovi vividfoto.cz Povaha: pracovitá, oddaná, ostražitá

About Malina

What life with Malina looks like

Malina is a medium-sized adult belgian malinois dog waiting at Útulek Tábor in Czech Republic.

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 Czech Republic

Czech shelters (útulky) include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID. The adopter signs a written contract (smlouva) — the shelter may follow up to verify wellbeing.

Frequently asked

Adopting Malina, answered.

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