Mia

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

At our friends at Dolmen Animal, there's currently a cuteness overload on 24 paws. But despite how cute and adorable that is, the real reason our partners are currently maintaining a permanent smile, despite the soon-ending hunting season, full enclosures, and the fact that hunting dogs are still outside the new Spanish animal protection law, is because the funny sextet, including their mom, is in their care. Isabelita was many months the worry of animal welfare workers. The extremely clever female dog was long cared for by residents in a small village. She was pregnant repeatedly, but her puppies either died or were stolen, and no one ever managed to secure the cautious and agile mixed-breed lady. Only Nube, one of her daughters, could be saved during an earlier litter. Isabelita survived live traps, left food alone, and always knew when someone tried to catch her. On December 25, the village residents called to say Isabelita was pregnant again, and on December 12, six new earthlings were born. What no one dared to hope for actually happened. While Isabelita was on a foraging trip, the animal welfare workers brought the puppies to a warm, dry, and especially secure place. Isabelita actually made it to her babies, and the whole family could be secured. VID – very important dogs – can directly move to the management level, so Isabelita and her babies are now in the boss's care at the shelter. They are growing up in security, learning to know people, are occasionally visited by volunteers so Isabelita can have a bit of peace, are given the best food, and are being raised by their fantastic mom to become capable world-conquering dogs. Isabelita is already a witty mix, really covering the whole spectrum of possible dog breeds. Podenco, Bodeguero, Mastín Espanol, Pointer, maybe a Pointer or a Bretone – in her gene pool, hunting dogs, herding dogs, running wonders, terriers… and her current litter also shows all shades. We have here six surprise eggs in all colors, shapes, with long and short tails (short tails are often born in some hunting dog breeds and Mastín), very undecided ears, and with the vague prophecy that they will one day be "medium-sized" (bigger than a Pomeranian, smaller than a Bernese Mountain Dog – with a probable end weight somewhere around 20-30kg). Our six sandbox rockers are currently 30cm high and weigh 5kg (as of the beginning of February 2026). Mia is, like all her siblings, a playful and people-oriented Whuslon. She clearly shows her Bodeguero heritage and proudly wears her chic tricolor outfit. Mia is the smallest in the litter, but that doesn't stop her from telling her siblings where to go every now and then. A stylish terrier head, not just from the outside. Mia is intelligent and curious, she seeks an active family who likes to be outdoors, and she wants to be both physically and mentally stimulated and challenged. Mia has already known car rides and cats, thanks to a volunteer who occasionally takes the babies home to give Isabelita a bit of rest from the razzle-dazzle. Both find it pretty cool. Shockingly in love? Understandable! We look forward to hearing from you if you're prepared for sharp puppy teeth, holes in socks and shoes, endless cuddle hours that are hard to break, and many years of exciting and colorful adventures.

Bei unseren Freunden von Dolmen Animal ist gerade ein Cuteness Overload auf 24 Pfötchen unterwegs. Aber so schön und niedlich das ist, der eigentliche Grund, warum unsere Partner derzeit trotz der bald endenden Jagdsaison, trotz voller Zwinger und der Tatsache, dass Jagdhunde immer noch außerhalb des neuen spanischen Tierschutzgesetzes stehen, ein anhaltendes Lächeln im Gesicht haben, ist, dass das lustige Sextett mitsamt der zugehörigen Mama in ihrer Obhut ist. Isabelita war viele Monate das Sorgenkind der Tierschützer. Die äußerst clevere Hündin wurde lange Zeit von Anwohnern in einem kleinen Dorf versorgt. Immer wieder war sie trächtig, immer wieder verstarben ihre Welpen oder wurden gestohlen, nie gelang es einem Menschen, die vorsichtige und flinke Mischlingsdame zu sichern. Einzig Nube, eine ihrer Töchter, konnte bei einem früheren Wurf gerettet werden. Isabelita trotzte Lebendfallen, ließ Futter stehen, sie wusste immer genau, wenn jemand versuchte sie zu fangen. Im Dezember 25 kam der Anruf der Dorfbewohner, dass Isabelita wieder hochtragend ist, und am 12.12. kamen 6 neue Erdenbewohner zur Welt. Was niemand zu hoffen wagte, gelang diesmal. Während Isabelita auf Futtersuche war, brachten die Tierschützer die Welpen an einen warmen, trockenen und vor allem abschließbaren Ort. Isabelita kam tatsächlich zu ihren Babys und die ganze Familie konnte gesichert werden. VID – very important dogs – dürfen direkt zur Leitungsebene ziehen, deswegen sind Isabelita und ihre Babys jetzt bei der Chefin des Tierheims zur Pflege. Sie wachsen in Geborgenheit auf, lernen Menschen kennen, dürfen hin und wieder Freiwillige zu Hause besuchen, damit Isabelita mal ein bisschen Ruhe hat, bekommen bestes Futter und werden von ihrer fantastischen Mama zu wackeren Welteroberern erzogen. Isabelita ist schon eine witzige Mischung, die wirklich die gesamte Palette denkbarer Hunderassen abdeckt. Podenco, Bodeguero, Mastin Espanol, Pointer, vielleicht ein Vorsteher oder doch ein Bretone – in ihrem Genpool treffen sich Jagdhunde, Herdenschutzhunde, Laufwunder, Terrier … und ihre derzeitige Kinderschar zeigt auch alle Schattierungen. Wir haben hier also sechs Überraschungseier in allen Farben, Formen, mit langer und kurzer Rute (bei manchen Jagdhundrassen und beim Mastin sind kurze Ruten oft angeboren), noch sehr unentschlossenen Ohren und mit der vagen Prophetie, dass sie einmal „mittelgroß“ werden (also größer als ein Dackel, kleiner als ein Bernhardiner – wobei die Wahrscheinlichkeit irgendwo bei 20-30kg Endgewicht liegt). Derzeit sind unsere 6 Sandkastenrocker 30cm hoch und sie wiegen 5 kg (Stand Anfang Februar 2026). Mia ist, wie all ihre Geschwister, ein verspieltes und menschenbezogenes Wuslon. Sie zeigt sehr deutlich ihre Verwandtschaft zum Bodeguero und trägt mit Stolz ihr schickes Tricolor-Outfit. Mia ist die kleinste im Wurf, aber das hält sie nicht davon ab, ihren Geschwistern durchaus mal zu sagen, wo es langgeht. Ein schicker Terrierkopf eben, nicht nur von außen. Mia ist intelligent und neugierig, sie sucht eine aktive Familie, die gern draußen ist, und sie möchte sowohl körperlich als auch geistig gefördert und gefordert sein. Mia kennt dank einer Freiwilligen, die die Babys hin und wieder zu sich nach Hause holt, um Isabelita ein bisschen Erholung von der Rasselbande zu gönnen, schon Autofahrten und Katzen – beides findet sie ziemlich cool. Schockverliebt? Verständlich! Wir freuen uns darauf, von Ihnen zu hören, wenn Sie auf spitze Welpenzähnchen, Löcher in Socken und Schuhen, unendlich schöne Kuschelstunden, die sich nur sehr schwer unterbrechen lassen, und viele Jahre spannende und bunte Abenteuer vorbereitet sind.

About Mia

What life with Mia looks like

Mia is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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. Tierschutzverein ARCA 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 — Tierschutzverein ARCA 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 Tierschutzverein ARCA 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.
