YARA

Belgian Malinois · Female · Adult · 4 years

Yara Date of birth: 04.02.2022. Breed: Malinois, Boxer Female Location: Portugal When we first saw Yara at the canil, she was visibly frightened: tail tucked, fur bristling, full of mistrust toward humans, and with bite wounds from other dogs. Despite all these signs of fear and pain, she won our hearts by storm. When we watch her videos today, we know with absolute certainty: it was the right decision not to leave her there. ❤️ Yara has undergone an incredible transformation in a very short time. From the anxious female, she has become a joyful, loving soul with an open nature. 😍 She is slowly becoming more open toward other dogs and regaining trust. Because of her past, however, we see her as a single dog or with a non-pushy male. If desired, we are happy to carry out more detailed compatibility tests. 🐶🫶🏼 Now she only needs one thing: a place where she is allowed to arrive, whether as a foster placement or forever. So that she can continue on her way and space becomes free for the next emergency waiting for help. ❤️

YaraGeburtsdatum: 04.02.2022. Rasse: Malinois, BoxerHündinAufenthaltsort: PortugalAls wir Yara das erste Mal im Canil gesehen haben, war sie sichtlich verängstigt: Die Rute eingeklemmt, das Fell gesträubt, voller Misstrauen gegenüber Menschen – und mit Bisswunden von anderen Hunden. Trotz all dieser Zeichen von Angst und Schmerz hat sie unser Herz im Sturm erobert. Wenn wir heute ihre Videos sehen, wissen wir mit absoluter Gewissheit: Es war die richtige Entscheidung, sie dort nicht zurückzulassen. ❤️Yara hat in nur kurzer Zeit eine unglaubliche Wandlung durchgemacht.Aus der ängstlichen Hündin wurde eine lebensfrohe, liebevolle Seele mit einem offenen Wesen. 😍Sie wird langsam offener gegenüber Artgenossen und fasst wieder mehr Vertrauen. Wir sehen sie aufgrund ihrer Vergangenheit allerdings als Einzelhund oder mit einem nicht aufdringlichen Rüden. Auf Wunsch können wir gerne genauere Verträglichkeitstests durchführen. 🐶🫶🏼Jetzt fehlt ihr nur noch eins: ein Platz, an dem sie ankommen darf – ob als Pflegestelle oder für immer. Damit sie ihren Weg weitergehen kann und Platz frei wird für den nächsten Notfall, der auf Hilfe wartet. ❤️

About YARA

What life with YARA looks like

YARA is an adult belgian malinois dog waiting at Underdog Rescue e.V. in Germany.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting YARA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about YARA?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Underdog Rescue e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw YARA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt YARA if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Underdog Rescue e.V. whether they will for YARA, what they require (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 YARA already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for YARA. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Underdog Rescue e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if YARA isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Underdog Rescue e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know YARA 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.
