How do I contact the shelter about Michaela?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Michaela on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Michaela if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Fellnasen 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 Michaela 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 Michaela 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 Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Michaela 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.

Michaela

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

I am Michaela. ❤️ My life has been far from easy. During the spaying operation in Smârdan, I was spayed by the veterinarian Bianca. I was supposed to return to my owner afterwards - but Bianca couldn't let that happen. I was completely neglected. My fur was hopelessly matted and my body full of ticks. I had obviously not received the care a dog needs for a long time. Bianca saw my condition and prevented my owner from taking me back. She probably gave me the chance at a whole new life. Now I long for a home where I can finally experience what love, security and good care feel like. A home where I don't just have to function, but can be a beloved family member. I have so much to catch up on and hope with all my heart that my human is waiting for me somewhere. Someone who gives me time to gain trust and shows me that my life can only get better from now on. I am ready for my new beginning. Are you ready to go with me? 🐾❤️

Hallo, ich bin Michaela. ❤️ Mein Leben war bisher leider alles andere als schön. Während der Kastrationsaktion in Smârdan wurde ich von der Tierärztin Bianca kastriert. Eigentlich sollte ich danach wieder zu meinem Besitzer zurückkehren – doch Bianca konnte das nicht zulassen. Ich war völlig verwahrlost. Mein Fell war hoffnungslos verfilzt und mein Körper voller Zecken. Ich hatte offensichtlich lange nicht die Fürsorge bekommen, die ein Hund braucht. Bianca sah meinen Zustand und verhinderte, dass mein Besitzer mich wieder mitnahm. Damit hat sie mir wahrscheinlich die Chance auf ein ganz neues Leben geschenkt. Jetzt wünsche ich mir nichts sehnlicher als ein Zuhause, in dem ich endlich erfahren darf, wie sich Liebe, Geborgenheit und gute Pflege anfühlen. Ein Zuhause, in dem ich nicht mehr nur irgendwie funktionieren muss, sondern ein geliebtes Familienmitglied sein darf. Ich habe so viel nachzuholen und hoffe von ganzem Herzen, dass irgendwo mein Mensch auf mich wartet. Jemand, der mir Zeit gibt, Vertrauen zu fassen, und mir zeigt, dass mein Leben von nun an nur noch schöner werden kann. Ich bin bereit für meinen Neuanfang. Bist du bereit, ihn mit mir zu gehen? 🐾❤️

About Michaela

What life with Michaela looks like

Michaela is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. in Waakirchen.

An young 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.
