Malinois Mimo &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

I am male and born around 2019. I am approximately 65 cm tall. I have been in search of a sponsor since November 2021. My caretakers say about me: Mimo is a found dog of the region, no one missed him. We have a theory about his origin, and if it’s correct, it’s definitely good luck for Mimo to be here. Mimo needed a lot of time to emotionally settle in. His behavior suggests little contact and experiences in his previous life. Initially, he would freeze when approached, and he knew little to nothing about a leash, but that has changed. Now, he is happy to walk on a leash with multiple safety measures in place, and he also knows how to sit or stay. When correctly guided, he is a pleasant companion on walks. Now, small signs of joy are recognizable when approaching him, known people can see. He now stops or sits sometimes and no longer tries to become invisible. This progress took half a year, and it will likely take just as long for him to move again. He is compatible with female dogs, but they should be confident. Otherwise, he may release his tension on them in stressful situations. As for two-legged beings, there have been no aggressive moments, not even with situations that initially frightened him. Of course, he is typical for his breed, agile, quick, and very attentive.

Ich bin männlich und circa 2019 geboren. Ich bin circa 65 cm gross. Ich bin seit November 2021 auf der Suche nach Paten. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Mimo ist ein Fundhund der Region, den niemand vermisste. Wir haben eine Vermutung zur Herkunft, sollte die stimmen ist es definitiv Glück für Mimo bei uns gelandet zu sein. Mimo benötigte viel Zeit um emotional zu landen.Sein Verhalten lässt auf wenig Kontakt und Erlebnisse in seinem Vorleben schliessen. Anfänglich erstarrte er wenn man sich näherte, die Leine kannte er wenig bis nicht, das hat sich inzwischen gelegt. Mehrfach gesichert läuft er gern mit, kennt auch Platz oder Sitz. Richtig geführt ist er ein angenehmer Begleiter auf Spaziergängen. Nun sind kleine Anzeichen von Freude bei ihm bekannten Personen zu erkennen wenn man auf Mimo zugeht. Er bleibt stehen oder sitzt auch mal und presst sich nicht mehr in die Ecke und will unsichtbar werden. Dieser Fortschritt brauchte ein halbes Jahr- es wird mit Sicherheit ebenso lang dauern wenn er irgendwann mal umziehen kann. Mit Hündinnen ist er verträglich, diese sollte jedoch selbstbewusst sein. Andernfalls kann es passieren das er in Stressituationen im Übersprung seine Anspannung an ihr auslässt. Bei Zweibeinern gab es bislang in keiner Situation zu Aggressionen, auch nicht Momenten, die ihm anfänglich Furcht eingeflößt haben. Selbstverständlich ist er rassetypisch agil, blitzschnell und sehr aufmerksam. Bis zur

About Malinois Mimo &#8211

What life with Malinois Mimo &#8211 looks like

Malinois Mimo &#8211 is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Malinois Mimo &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Malinois Mimo &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Malinois Mimo &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Malinois Mimo &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Schkortitz 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 Malinois Mimo &#8211 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 Malinois Mimo &#8211 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 Schkortitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Malinois Mimo &#8211 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.
