How do I contact the shelter about NOTFELLCHEN?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Drakenburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw NOTFELLCHEN on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt NOTFELLCHEN if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Drakenburg 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 NOTFELLCHEN 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 NOTFELLCHEN 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 Tierheim Drakenburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know NOTFELLCHEN 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.

NOTFELLCHEN

Belgian Malinois · Female

Jackie, a six-year-old Malinois female dog, has been enriching our animal shelter for several weeks. As a surrender dog, she came to us because the living conditions could no longer be maintained. Jackie is very people-friendly, people-oriented, and compatible with fellow animals, but she shows a natural lack of aggression towards fellow animals unless she is not properly introduced and possesses a pronounced prey drive (wild). Her energy and attention are immense and require experienced and time-investing hands. Breed experience, combined with positive reinforcement, is essential to meet Jackie’s needs and train her appropriately. Special attention must also be given to her talents for tracking and the necessary consequences and training. If one cannot sustain this (tracking training) long-term, it should be avoided to start and continue training, as a dog with such a pronounced prey drive/ hunting instinct often suffers greatly when such a component of daily life is no longer present. A secure outdoor enclosure is also essential, as Jackie has successfully escaped in the past. Jackie is unneutered, in good health, and ready for a new life in an experienced, empathetic environment.

DE·Show original

Jackie, eine sechsjährige Malinois-Hündin, bereichert unser Tierheim seit einigen Wochen. Als Abgabehündin kam sie zu uns, da die Haltungsvoraussetzungen nicht mehr erfüllt werden konnten. Jackie ist sehr menschenfreundlich, menschenbezogen und Artgenossen gegenüber verträglich, zeigt aber eine natürliche Distanzlosigkeit Artgenossen gegenüber insofern sie nicht zurecht gewiesen wird und besitzt einen ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb (Wild). Ihre Energie und Aufmerksamkeit sind immens und erfordern erfahrene und Zeit investierende Hände. Rasseerfahrung, kombiniert mit positiver Bestärkung, ist unerlässlich, um Jackie ihren Bedürfnissen entsprechend auszulasten und zu trainieren. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit muss auch ihren Talenten für Fährtensuche und die notwendige Konsequenz und Training gewidmet werden. Kann man dieses (Fährtensuche Training) nicht dauerhaft leisten, sollte man davon absehen, dieses anzufangen zu trainieren und weiter zu fördern, da ein Tier mit solch einem ausgeprägten Hang zum Jagdtrieb/ Beutetrieb häufig stark darunter leidet, wenn ein solcher Bestandteil des täglichen Lebens wieder entfällt. Ein ausbruchssicherer Garten ist ebenfalls unabdingbar, da Jackie in der Vergangenheit erfolgreich ausgebrochen ist. Jackie ist unkastriert, in einem guten gesundheitlichen Zustand und bereit für ein neues Leben in einem erfahrenen, empathischen Umfeld. Wenn Sie die Liebe, Zeit, Geduld und das nötige Wissen mitbringen, um dieser besonders tollen Hündin gerecht zu werden, kontaktieren Sie uns gerne für ein Kennenlernen

About NOTFELLCHEN

What life with NOTFELLCHEN looks like

NOTFELLCHEN is a adult belgian malinois dog waiting at Tierheim Drakenburg in Drakenburg.

An 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
