Malu

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 1 year

Malu is a joyful young Labrador who is now in the third spot with us. The reason for surrender or rehoming was previously always overexertion and inexperience. This means that Malu did not learn that there are rules and boundaries. He is actually friendly, wants to be included, is very playful, and loves his people. However, he also has insecurities and needs clear leadership and guidance. Malu is preferably rehomed with active individuals who have experience with dogs.

DE·Show original

Malu ist ein freudiger junger Labrador, der bei uns nun am dritten Platz ist. Der Grund für die Abgabe bzw. Weitergabe war bisher jeweils Überforderung und Unerfahrenheit. Das heisst, Malu lernte nicht, dass es Regeln und Grenzen gibt. Er ist eigentlich freundlich, möchte dabei sein, ist sehr verspielt und er liebt seine Menschen. Er hat aber auch Unsicherheiten und braucht eine klare Führung und Ansagen. Malu wird bevorzugt an aktive Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung abgegeben.

About Malu

What life with Malu looks like

Malu is a young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Stiftung Tierschutzzentrum Thurgau in Switzerland.

An young 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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

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. Stiftung Tierschutzzentrum Thurgau 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 — Stiftung Tierschutzzentrum Thurgau 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 Stiftung Tierschutzzentrum Thurgau 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.
