Michel

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Michelmännlich / neutered Born: approx. 11/2025 Size: approx. 50 cm, 15–16 kg, likely to grow large (as of 13.06.) Location: Romania Departure: anytime Sponsorship: still available Street dogs in the city and in the village already have it hard: every day they must find food, look for a suitable place to sleep, and face all kinds of dangers! Michel was found as a puppy together with his siblings in the forest! There, there is no garbage to search for scraps of food, and no civilization… Winter in Romania is merciless and claims victims every year! Had the puppies not been found, they would have died unseen and eerily quietly among the trees! It is presumed they were abandoned! Deliberately left to fend for themselves! Do these babies really have no right to life??? – We are quite clearly of the opinion: they do!!! Michel is a typical puppy! He loves to romp around with his siblings, explore the small world he currently lives in, get to know adult dogs and people who are kind to him! He looks forward to his daily meals and now knows what a blanket feels like! But Michel still lacks so much in life: a home, training, various environmental stimuli, toys, his own bowl and a dog bed, experiences, adventures, frustration tolerance, and people who guide him with humor, consistency, calm, and patience! Michel initially needs 24-hour supervision. He is a puppy and still has to learn to be house-trained and to stay alone. In addition, he naturally needs sufficient contact with other dogs so that he becomes a confident companion. We are looking for people with the right heart, who are as proud of a forest foundling as of a pedigree dog – and let's be honest: both hearts beat in the same rhythm and deserve to be loved!

Michelmännlich / kastriertGeb. : ca. 11/2025Größe: ca. 50cm, 15-16kg vermtl. groß werdend (Stand 13. 06. )Aufenthaltsort: RumänienAusreise: jederzeitPatenschaft: noch zu vergebenStraßenhunde in der Stadt und auf dem Dorf haben es schon schwer: sie müssen täglich Nahrung finden, einen geeigneten Schlafplatz suchen und sich mit allen Gefahren auseinandersetzen! Michel wurde als Welpe zusammen mit seinen Geschwistern im Wald gefunden! Dort gibt es keinen Müll, wo man nach Essensresten schauen könnte und keine Zivilisation… der Winter ist unbarmherzig in Rumänien und fordert jährlich Opfer! Wären die Welpen nicht gefunden worden, wären sie ungesehen und gespenstisch leise zwischen den Bäumen gestorben! Vermutlich wurden sie ausgesetzt! Bewusst sich selbst überlassen! Haben diese Babys etwa kein Recht auf Leben??? – wir sind ganz klar der Meinung: Haben sie!!! Michel ist ein typischer Welpe! Er albert gerne mit seinen Geschwistern herum, erkundet die kleine Welt, in der er aktuell lebt, lernt erwachsene Hunde kennen und Menschen, die lieb zu ihm sind! Er freut sich über die täglichen Mahlzeiten und weiß nun, wie sich eine Decke anfühlt! Michel fehlt aber noch ganz viel im Leben: ein Zuhause, Erziehung, verschiedene Umweltreize, Spielzeug, ein eigener Napf und ein Hundebett, Erfahrungen, Abenteuer, Frusttoleranz und Menschen, die ihn mit Humor, Konsequenz, Ruhe und Geduld anleiten! Michel benötigt anfangs eine 24-Stunden-Betreuung. Er ist ein Welpe und muss erst noch lernen seinen Blase zu trainieren und alleine bleiben zu können. Außerdem muss er natürlich ausreichend Kontakt zu Artgenossen haben, damit er ein souveräner Wegbegleiter wird. Wir suchen Menschen mit dem Herz am rechten Fleck, die auf einen Wald-Findling so stolz sind, wie auf einen Rassenhund – sind wir ehrlich: beide Herzen schlagen im gleichen Takt und haben es verdient, geliebt zu werden!

About Michel

What life with Michel looks like

Michel is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Dog Rescue Stuttgart in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Michel, answered.

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