MICHKA

German Shepherd · Female · Senior · 10 years

I was surrendered to the shelter by Sacpa who couldn't find a solution to place me. Due to stress, I tend to catch my tail. I have evolved a lot: initially reactive with my peers, today I walk regularly with them. It seems I also tolerate cats. I am very attentive and close to humans, but I am suspicious when I don't know them. I am not comfortable with children.

J’ai été confié au refuge par Sacpa qui ne trouvait pas de solutions pour me placer. A cause du stress j’ai tendance à m’attraper la queue. J’ai beaucoup évolué : d’abord réactive avec mes congénères aujourd’hui je promène régulièrement avec eux. Il semblerait que je tolère également les chats. Je suis très à l’écoute et proche de l’homme en revanche je suis méfiante quand je ne connais pas. Je ne suis pas à l’aise avec les enfants.

About MICHKA

What life with MICHKA looks like

MICHKA is a medium-sized senior german shepherd dog waiting at SPA Montélimar in France.

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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting MICHKA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about MICHKA?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Montélimar handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw MICHKA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt MICHKA if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Montélimar 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 MICHKA 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 MICHKA 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 SPA Montélimar early rather than rehoming privately; they know MICHKA 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 (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
