Manila

Mixed Breed · Male

Description Our Spanish animal welfare workers report: Manila was born at this breed animal shelter, after his mom was rescued from the street while carrying him. Manila grew up with his siblings at the animal shelter, so he had plenty of playmates and could learn puppy basics, like the dog ABCs. His mother and his siblings have since been rehomed, but only Manila is still waiting for his big break. He is a wonderful young pup, very friendly and people-oriented, and gets along well with all dogs. He would even do okay with cats. Manila loves to run for his life and enjoys playing and toiling. He gets to do this only occasionally, as his foster parent is usually very busy. He currently lives with four other dogs in a small, more private animal shelter. And sometimes he gets to make short excursions with his foster parent, which he loves and grins about. But these happy moments are rare. Manila has experienced life in an apartment, as he occasionally spends weekends with his foster parent. He behaves very well in the apartment, but he is sad when he has to return to the kennel. He doesn’t want to miss out on human affection and interaction. Manila is also learning to walk on a leash. He finds it exciting and still needs some practice. The handsome fellow also knows how to ride in a car and does it very well. Where is his family that showers him with love and takes him on lovely excursions and walks with this friendly male dog? Manila waits!!!!!! Please note:

Beschreibung Unsere spanischen Tierschützer berichten: Manila wurde im Tierheim geboren, nachdem seine Mama hochtragend von der Straße gerettet wurde. Manila ist mit seinen Geschwistern zusammen im Tierheim aufgewachsen. So hatte er wenigstens viele Spielkumpels und konnte von Welpenpfoten an, das Hunde-Einmaleins lernen. Seine Mutter und auch seine Geschwister wurden mittlerweile vermittelt, nur Manila wartet noch auf das große Los. Dabei ist er ein ganz wunderbarer Jungrüde, sehr freundlich und menschenbezogen, gut verträglich mit allen Hunden. Selbst mit Katzen käme er zurecht. Manila rennt für sein Leben gern und liebt es zu toben und zu spielen. Das kann er viel zu selten, nur ab und zu ist ihm dieses Glück mit seiner Betreuungsperson vergönnt. Er wohnt im Moment zusammen mit 4 anderen Hunden in einem kleinen, eher privaten Tierheim. Und ab und an kann er kleine Ausflüge machen mit seinem Betreuer, das genießt er und grinst über beide Backen. Aber diese Glücksmomente sind selten. Manila kennt das Leben in einer Wohnung, da er ab und zu mal ein Wochenende bei seiner Pflegeperson verbringen darf. Er verhält sich sehr gut in der Wohnung, umso trauriger ist er dann, wenn er in den Zwinger zurück muss. Er möchte die menschliche Zuwendung und Ansprache nicht missen müssen. Manila lernt auch an der Leine zu laufen. Das findet er noch aufregend und daran muss noch etwas geübt werden. Auch das Mitfahren im Auto kennt der hübsche Kerl bereits, und macht dies sehr gut.Wo ist nun seine Familie die ihn mit Liebe überschüttet und schöne Ausflüge und Spaziergänge mit diesem freundlichen Rüden unternimmt? Manila wartet!!!!!! Bitte beachten Sie:Die Rückmeldungen der Tierheime spiegeln das aktuelle Verhalten der hier zur

About Manila

What life with Manila looks like

Manila is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Manila, answered.

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