Malu

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Malu, born approximately January 2023, neutered, approximately 55 cm shoulder height, at the shelter since April 2023 Malu is a beautiful female dog, born in early 2023, with a shoulder height of approximately 55 cm. She has been at the shelter since she was a puppy and we hope she will find a home soon. Malu is a rather shy and reserved dog who has not had much experience so far. She therefore approaches new situations cautiously. However, she is not anxious or panicked - she allows people to approach her, can be easily lifted and accepts closeness calmly. With some time and patience, she will gain more confidence and gradually discover the world. Due to her particularly gentle nature, Malu prefers to avoid conflicts with other dogs. She hardly resists and has therefore already suffered minor bite injuries because she does not assert herself. Recently, Malu was allowed to go for a walk for the first time with volunteer helpers. At first, the new situation was still unfamiliar for her, but she mastered this challenge very well and showed herself curious and willing to discover new things. Malu is a very special dog with a big heart. She is looking for a quiet and understanding home with people who give her the time to arrive at her own pace. Whoever gives her this chance will be rewarded with a loyal and loving companion. Currently located in Romania and allowed to leave if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites at their arrival at the shelter and then at least once a year. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life at the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page:

06/2026 Malu, geboren ca. 01/2023, kastriert, ca. 55 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 04/2023 Malu ist eine wunderschöne Hündin, geboren Anfang 2023, mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 55 cm. Sie ist bereits seit dem Welpenalter im Shelter und wir hoffen so, dass sie bald ein Zuhause findet Malu ist eine eher schüchterne und zurückhaltende Hündin, die bisher noch nicht viel kennenlernen durfte. Neue Situationen begegnet sie deshalb zunächst vorsichtig. Dabei ist sie jedoch nicht ängstlich oder panisch – sie lässt Menschen an sich heran, lässt sich problemlos hochheben und nimmt die Nähe ruhig an. Mit etwas Zeit und Geduld wird sie immer mehr Vertrauen fassen und Schritt für Schritt die Welt entdecken. Durch ihre besonders sanfte Art geht Malu Konflikten mit anderen Hunden lieber aus dem Weg. Sie wehrt sich kaum und hat sich deshalb auch schon kleinere Bissverletzungen zugezogen, weil sie sich nicht behauptet. Vor Kurzem durfte Malu gemeinsam mit freiwilligen Helfern zum ersten Mal Gassi gehen. Anfangs war die neue Situation noch ungewohnt für sie, doch sie hat diese Herausforderung ganz toll gemeistert und zeigte sich neugierig und bereit, Neues zu entdecken. Malu ist eine ganz besondere Hündin mit einem großen Herzen. Sie sucht ein ruhiges und verständnisvolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen. Wer ihr diese Chance schenkt, wird mit einer treuen und liebevollen Begleiterin belohnt. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn sie ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Malu

What life with Malu looks like

Malu is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

A 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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Hope for Future 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 — Hope for Future 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Hope for Future 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.
