Meli

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 5 months

Meli came to the Zadar animal shelter with her mom Mika and her five siblings. She has since grown into a strong, cheerful and playful young female dog. She gets along great with her peers and is friendly and open to strangers. Meli absolutely loves cuddles and enjoys all the attention she can get. ❤️ Now all she needs for happiness is her own home with a cozy bed, loving people and plenty of time to cuddle, play and explore! Who wants to show Meli how wonderful a dog's life can be in a family of her own?

Meli kam gemeinsam mit ihrer Mama Mika und ihren fünf Geschwistern ins Tierheim von Zadar. Inzwischen ist sie zu einer kräftigen, fröhlichen und verspielten Junghündin herangewachsen. Mit ihren Artgenossen versteht sie sich prima und auch fremden Menschen begegnet sie freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Streicheleinheiten findet Meli einfach wunderbar und sie genießt jede Aufmerksamkeit, die sie bekommen kann. ❤️ Jetzt fehlt zu ihrem Glück nur noch eines: ein eigenes Zuhause mit einem gemütlichen Körbchen, lieben Menschen und ganz viel Zeit zum Kuscheln, Spielen und Entdecken! Wer möchte Meli zeigen, wie schön ein Hundeleben in einer eigenen Familie sein kann?

About Meli

What life with Meli looks like

Meli is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Einsame Pfoten Zadar e.V. in Niederdreisbach.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Meli, answered.

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