Adopt Malte

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Help Malte find a home - share this with your friends ❤️ There are dogs who need to do nothing to fill a room with love - they are simply there. MALTE is such a soul. At 35 cm, he is an rather small companion, but his charisma is huge. Although life has left its marks and he has already lost some teeth, he has never lost his smile or his trust in us humans. He enjoys every touch, snuggles up and just wants to be loved. MALTE walks perfectly on the leash and is waiting to stroll through the park with you. We are looking for a "forever home" for this gentle dog man, where he receives the care he so much deserves. He is not a dog for the big commotion, but a loyal friend for the quiet, happy moments.

Hilf Malte, ein Zuhause zu finden - teile dies mit deinen Freunden ❤️ Es gibt Hunde, die müssen nichts tun, um einen Raum mit Liebe zu füllen – sie sind einfach da. MALTE ist so eine Seele. Mit seinen 35 cm ist er ein eher kleiner Begleiter, aber seine Ausstrahlung ist riesig. Obwohl das Leben Spuren hinterlassen hat und er schon einige Zähnchen eingebüßt hat, hat er sein Lächeln und sein Vertrauen in uns Menschen nie verloren. Er genießt jede Berührung, schmiegt sich an und möchte einfach nur geliebt werden. MALTE läuft bereits vorbildlich an der Leine und wartet nur darauf, mit dir gemeinsam durch den Park zu spazieren. Wir suchen für diesen sanften Hundemann ein „Für-immer-Zuhause“, in dem er die Fürsorge bekommt, die er so sehr verdient. Er ist kein Hund für den großen Trubel, sondern ein treuer Freund für die leisen, glücklichen Momente. Herkunft: Rumänien / Shelter

About Malte

What life with Malte looks like

Malte is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG in Germany.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Malte, answered.

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