Mendi

Belgian Malinois · Male · Young · 1 year

20.09.2026Mendi ist gut in der Schweiz angekommen.Er ist ein sehr liebesbedürftiger und zarter Rüde, welcher sich vor allem bei Frauen wohlfühlt. Vor Männern scheint sich Mendi zu fürchten und es scheint, dass er leider unschöne Erlebnisse mit Männern hatte.Mendi freute sich, dass wir ihn heute wieder besucht haben. Er sucht die Nähe eines lieben Menschen und wir wünschen uns sehr, dass er bald in ein liebevolles Zuhause zu geduldigen und hundeerfahrenen Menschen ziehen darf.Wir berichten in ein paar Tagen wieder. 21.08.2026 Mendi wurde Anfang März auf der Strasse gefunden und anschliessend von einer lieben Familie aufgenommen und versorgt. Leider kann er dort nicht dauerhaft bleiben, weshalb der etwa 1 Jahr alte Rüde nun auf der Suche nach seinem eigenen Zuhause ist. Mendi ist ein liebevoller, sanfter und sehr menschenbezogener junger Hund. Menschen gegenüber zeigt er sich freundlich, verschmust und eher unterwürfig. Er geniesst Nähe und Zuwendung sehr und möchte einfach dazugehören. Bei anderen Hunden entscheidet die Sympathie.Mit Katzen versteht sich Mendi leider nicht, daher suchen wir für ihn ein Zuhause ohne Katzen. Jetzt fehlt Mendi nur noch eines: eine liebevolle und verantwortungsvolle Familie, die ihm Sicherheit, Geborgenheit und die Chance auf das Zuhause gibt, das er so sehr verdient. Bei ernsthaftem Interesse freuen wir uns sehr über eine Nachricht.

About Mendi

What life with Mendi looks like

Mendi is a young adult belgian malinois dog waiting at Tierhilfe Arme Pfoten in Arme Pfoten.

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 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 Mendi, answered.

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