Malina, the dear street dog: Looking for a new home!

Malina, an adorable dog from Romania, has found the happiness she couldn't experience as a street dog. The little treasure, who is looked after at the animal shelter in Randow near Demmin, not only has a cute appearance, but also an impressive story. With her typical brand on her nose, which she received as a protective measure against distemper and parvovirus, Malina is well prepared for her new life here in Germany. The responsible animal rights activists neutered, vaccinated and chipped her before she was allowed to start the long journey to a better future. If you would like to find out more about Malina's story, we recommend that you visit Uckermarkkurier.

With a weight of just eight kilograms and a height of around 35 centimeters, Malina is not only easy to care for, but also has a calm, balanced character. She doesn't pull on the leash when going for walks and gets along great with other dogs, cats and even poultry. This makes her an ideal companion for families or animal lovers who have enough space to play. Anyone interested can contact Kerstin Lenz at the Randow animal shelter, where Malina is waiting for new people who would like to give her a home.

A look at the background

Unfortunately, Malina isn't the only one rescued from a life on the streets. The organizations that deal with the rescue and care of street dogs in Romania have established themselves as lifesavers for many four-legged friends. The Street Dogs Romania in Need association has set itself the goal of reducing the misery of these animals by building their own animal shelters and supporting other organizations in Romania. Like the Mona Fernengel ADA animal shelter in Sighisoara, where between 120 and 150 dogs live, or the Free Amely animal shelter in Lugoj, which is looked after by the Balaj family.

In total, they have collectively rescued over 100 dogs from kills and offer them safe homes with better care in their animal shelters. An important motto of these organizations is: “Only working together can achieve great things!” This shows how important cooperation and support among animal rights activists is.

The challenge of building trust

The past living conditions of dogs from killing stations are often traumatic. Many animals have experienced severe abuse and need time to recover and regain faith in humans. While dogs like LOTTE, LEONIE and VITO-LEON have been living in Germany for a few months and understand that there are good people too, there are also young dogs like Polly and Xena who still show unpredictable behavior.

Foster homes work tirelessly to give these dogs a second chance. Patience is required because this is the only way the dogs can learn to build trust. The positive development becomes apparent when the animals begin to play and seek closeness to people. Among the many furry friends who have found a new home through this commitment are Frida, Maisie, Feelina and Basha. The Romanienstreuner Network offers more information on these important topics.

Malina is looking for a loving home and has the potential to transform into a loyal companion. If you are interested, you can contact the animal shelter in Randow directly. Malina, like other dogs, brings not only joy, but also the chance to make a four-legged friend for life.
