Malu

Mixed Breed · Female

Malu is a lovely, brave female dog, but above all a lady with very special charm. Her funny, friendly and open face reflects her enchanting character. The pretty girl is very cuddly, offering her paw for a cuddle session and enjoys being loved. Malu is obedient, can be left alone and likes to go in the car. Leash training is situation-dependent, so it still needs some practice. At the moment she doesn't get along well with her fellow animals, the trigger needs to be explored. Malu is currently living with her owner and is now looking for a loving, quiet home. Children should be somewhat older. As the female dog is somewhat prey-driven, we assume that cats and small animals would not feel comfortable with her.

DE·Show original

Malu ist eine liebenswerte, brave Hündin, aber vor allen Dingen eine Lady mit ganz besonderem Charme. Ihr lustiges, freundliches und offenes Gesicht spiegelt ihren bezaubernden Charakter wider. Das hübsche Mädchen ist sehr verschmust, bietet einladend ihre Pfote zur Kuschelrunde an und genießt es geliebt zu werden. Malu ist folgsam, kann alleine bleiben und fährt gerne im Auto mit. Die Leinenführigkeit ist Situationsabhängig ,muss also noch etwas geübt werden. Im Moment versteht sie sich mit ihren Artgenossen nicht so gut, der Auslöser muss noch erkundet werden. Malu lebt zur Zeit bei ihrem Besitzer und ist nun auf der Suche nach einem liebevollen, ruhigen Zuhause. Kinder sollten schon etwas größer sein. Nachdem die Hündin etwas jagdlich motiviert ist gehen wir davon aus, dass sich Katzen und Kleintiere bei ihr nicht wohl fühlen.

About Malu

What life with Malu looks like

Malu is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Malu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Malu?
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 Malu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Malu 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 Malu 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 Malu 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 Malu 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.
