Meika

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 12 years

Meika is a mixed-breed female dog and stands just under knee-high. She was born on 1 October 2014 and has so far lived only in a kennel run and on the farmyard. She walks well on a leash, although she does react to bicycles and mopeds. She loves people and is happy to play with balls. For her, we would wish for people with a house and yard and a family life, so that she can decide for herself whether she also comes inside from time to time.

DE·Show original

Meika ist eine Mischlingshündin und ist knapp kniehoch. Sie wurde am 1.Oktober 2014 geboren und lebte bisher nur im Zwinger und auf dem Hof. Sie läuft an der Leine spazieren, reagiert allerdings auf Fahrräder und Mopeds. Menschen findet sie toll und Bälle zum Spielen auch. Für sie wünschten wir uns Leute mit Haus und Grundstück und Familienanschluss dahingehend, dass sie entscheiden kann, ob sie auch mal mit rein kommt.

About Meika

What life with Meika looks like

Meika is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Bitterfeld in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Meika, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Meika?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Bitterfeld handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Meika on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Meika if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Bitterfeld 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Meika 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 Meika 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 Bitterfeld early rather than rehoming privately; they know Meika 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.
