How do I contact the shelter about Malona?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Franken e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Malona on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Malona if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhilfe Franken e.V. 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 Malona 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 Malona 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 Tierhilfe Franken e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Malona 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.

Malona

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

The little Malona is a very friendly, trusting, open and simply loving dog girl. She gets along well with other dogs and also cats. In addition, Malona loves people of all ages and especially children, who should be about 10 years old. At this age they would be the perfect playmates for our young, rather lively female dog. Malona enjoys cuddling and showing affection, but is certainly not a dog for couch potatoes, but rather for an active and lively family that does a lot with her. The little whirlwind is agile and very energetic, whether it's going for walks, playing outdoors, learning small tricks, and surely also in dog sports. Moreover, Malona already behaves well in the car and knows not only how to behave outside, but also during trips to the city, so that you can take the funny and beautiful dog girl anywhere. Due to her open and loving nature, Malona would also be suitable for first-time dog owners and would be very happy to have a home with a nice family.

DE·Show original

Die kleine Malona ist ein sehr freundliches, zutrauliches, offenes und einfach nur liebes Hundemädchen. Sie verträgt sich prima mit anderen Hunden und auch Katzen. Daneben liebt Malona Menschen jeden Alters und besonders Kinder, die aber schon so etwa 10 Jahre sein sollten. In diesem Alter wären sie genau die richtigen Spielgefährten für unsere junge, noch recht lebhafte Hündin. Malona kuschelt und schmust zwar für ihr Leben gern, ist aber keinesfalls ein Hund für Couchpotatoes, sondern eher für eine muntere und aktive Familie, die viel mit ihr unternimmt. Der kleine Wirbelwind ist agil und putzmunter, sei es nun beim Spaziergehen, beim Spielen im Freien, beim Erlernen kleiner Tricks und sicherlich auch beim Hundesport. Außerdem fährt Malona schon brav im Auto mit und weiß sich nicht nur draußen, sondern auch bei Ausflügen in die Stadt zu benehmen, so dass man das lustige und hübsche Hundemädchen überall mit hinnehmen kann. Durch ihr aufgeschlossenes und liebes Wesen wäre Malona auch für Hundeanfänger geeignet und würde sich sehr über ein Zuhause bei einer netten Familie freuen.

About Malona

What life with Malona looks like

Malona is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 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.
