Golden Retriever · Female · Adult · 4 years

For interest in our dear Mia, send us our filled-out application form. Our dogs, including Mia, usually come directly from Turkey to their families. What we know about Mia: Mia and her little stuffed animal. While other dogs bark or run around, Mia simply takes her stuffed animal in her mouth and carries it quietly. As if it were her little comfort. This beautiful approximately 4 to 5-year-old female Golden Retriever is simply loving, gentle, and especially quiet. She loves people, seeks closeness, and just wants to belong. With other dogs, she is social, with children she is friendly, and in everyday life she is well-balanced. Mia is not a loud or complicated dog, but simply a soul that wants to arrive. And then she stands there with her stuffed animal in her mouth and looks at you. Maybe she is waiting exactly for you. Who will finally give Mia her forever home? Nice to know: If you don't already know, Mia loves her stuffed animal. For interest in our dear Mia, please send us your filled-out application form:

About Mia

What life with Mia looks like

Mia is a medium-sized adult golden retriever dog waiting at Care-4-life e.V. in Stuttgart.

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 Mia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Care-4-life e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Care-4-life 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 Mia 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 Mia 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 Care-4-life e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mia 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.
