Adopt Malonne

Female · Senior · 10 years

Malonne is a greedy and endearing dog who is gradually opening up to the gentle humans who approach her. She has already made beautiful progress with some staff at our shelter, showing a lot of potential for trust within herself. She thrives in the company of her other animal siblings and would ideally be placed with one of her sisters, Lucky or Lassie, or at the very least with another dog. Her painful past in an unsanitary dog pound has made her very fearful and flighty, and human presence still stresses her out a great deal. She will need an infinitely patient and compassionate family who can give her all the time she needs to open up at her own pace. Cats do not seem to interest her. Malonne has never known family life… it's time for that to change. Malonne, a little rescued pup who is learning trust slowly!

Read original (fr)

Malonne est une chienne gourmande et attachante, qui commence petit à petit à s'ouvrir aux humains qui l'approchent avec douceur. Elle a déjà fait de beaux progrès avec certaines personnes du refuge, témoignant de tout le potentiel de confiance qu'elle porte en elle. Elle s'épanouit pleinement en compagnie de ses congénères et sera idéalement placée avec l'une de ses sœurs Lucky ou Lassie, ou à défaut avec un autre chien. Son passé douloureux en chenil insalubre l'a rendue très craintive et fuyante, et la présence humaine la stresse encore beaucoup. Elle aura besoin d'une famille infiniment patiente et bienveillante, capable de lui laisser tout le temps nécessaire pour s'ouvrir à son rythme. Les chats ne semblent pas l'intéresser. Malonne n'a jamais connu la vie de famille… il est temps que ça change. Malonne, une petite rescapée qui apprend doucement à faire confiance !

About Malonne

What life with Malonne looks like

Malonne is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Le Bois Pinson) in Bois Pinson.

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.

Note from the shelter: Requires patient adopters due to traumatic past in unsanitary kennel. Very fearful of humans and needs gradual socialization.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Malonne, answered.

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