Adopt Malu K

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Age: Born in 2021 Gender: Female Spayed: Yes Temperament: Friendly, rather quiet Size: approx. 48 cm In shelter since: August 2021 Our Malu is the perfect example that it pays off to have patience and not give up hope. Malu came to us in the summer of 2021 with over 40 puppies. She was one of many, so the contact with people was always a bit brief. She began to withdraw more and more and spent her time in the hut as soon as the people entered the pen. But little by little, she threw off her mistrust and slowly began to trust us. She learned from her pen mates and became curious when she saw how they enjoyed the proximity of people. During our last visits, she stood joyfully at the pen and even took some treats. We expected a friendly and open female dog who enjoyed cuddles. She has developed incredibly well, which we are more than happy about. Now we cross our fingers for the pretty mouse that she will finally be found by her beloved ones, because she has already been with us for some time. She has packed her bags and waits patiently every day for the pen door to open and for her to step into the transport that will bring her to a new life. Malu dreams of feeling fresh grass under her paws, holding her nose to the wind, and exploring nature on beautiful walks with her people. Which loving person would like to give our Malu a home? If you are interested in Malu, please fill out our interest form or send us an email or a message on Facebook. Malu is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU Pass. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months old, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis. The sponsorship of Malu has been taken over by Alice K., who thus ensures a full bowl. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!

Steckbrief Alter: 2021 geboren Geschlecht: weiblich Kastriert: ja Charakter: freundlich, eher ruhig Größe: ca. 48 cm Im Shelter seit: August 2021 Unsere Malu ist das beste Beispiel dafür, dass es sich lohnt, Geduld zu haben und die Hoffnung nicht aufzugeben.Malu kam im Sommer 2021 mit über 40 Welpen zu uns. Sie war eine von sehr vielen und so kam der Kontakt zu den Menschen immer etwas zu kurz.Sie begann sich immer mehr zurückzuziehen und verbrachte die Zeit in der Hütte, sobald die Menschen den Zwinger betraten.Doch nach und nach hat sie ihr Misstrauen über Bord geworfen und ganz langsam angefangen, uns zu Vertrauen. Sie hat es sich von ihren Zwingerkollegen abgeschaut und zu sehen, wie sie die Nähe der Menschen genossen, hat sie neugierig werden lassen.Bei unseren letzten Besuchen stand sie freudig am Zwinger und hat auch Leckerlis genommen.Uns erwartete eine freundliche und aufgeschlossene Hündin, die die Streicheleinheiten gerne zugelassen hat.Sie hat sich unglaublich gut entwickelt, worüber wir mehr als froh sind.Nun drücken wir der hübschen Maus die Daumen, dass sie endlich von ihren Liebsten gefunden wird, denn sie ist ja nun auch schon einige Zeit bei uns.Ihre Koffer hat sie gepackt und wartet jeden Tag geduldig darauf, dass sich nun auch für sie die Tür des Zwingers öffnet und sie in den Transporter steigen darf, der sie in ein neues Leben bringt.Endlich wieder frisches Gras unter den Pfoten zu spüren, die Nase in den Wind zu halten und auf schönen Spaziergängen mit ihren Menschen die Natur zu erkunden, davon träumt unsere Malu.Welcher liebe Mensch möchte unserer Malu endlich ein Zuhause schenken? Wenn Sie Interesse an Malu haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Malu ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Die Patenschaft für Malu hat Alice K. übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Malu K

What life with Malu K looks like

Malu K is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Malu K, answered.

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