Mick

Mixed Breed · Male

Mick is a wonderful, lively young dog. He is inquisitive and meets the world with open eyes. This can be used to teach him playfully—yet consistently—what is expected of him. On the leash, Mick already runs very well, and he also knows some basic commands. The puppy has a lot of energy, and it would be nice if he could run around in his own garden. When playing with children, Mick is affectionate but also stormy. At the moment, the young hopper is very clingy and does not like to be alone. He accompanies his family to stores and restaurants and has no problem with car rides. The social, friendly male dog gets along well with his fellow animals. In the foster family, our "little whirlwind" has his own spot in the house where he can rest well. Mick wishes for a home in the countryside. With his loyal gaze and gentle nature, he will conquer your heart in a storm.

Mick ist ein wunderbarer, aufgeweckter Junghund. Er ist wissbegierig und steht der Welt noch unbedarft gegenüber. Dieses lässt sich nutzen, um ihm spielerisch – aber auch konsequent – beizubringen, was von ihm erwartet wird. An der Leine läuft Mick schon sehr gut und auch einige Grundkommandos hat er drauf. Der Hundebub hat sehr viel Energie und es wäre schön, wenn er durch einen eigenen Garten toben dürfte. Beim Spielen mit Kindern, ist Mick liebevoll, aber auch stürmisch. Im Moment ist der junge Hüpfer sehr anhänglich und möchte nicht gern allein bleiben. Er begleitet seine Familie in Geschäfte und Restaurants und hat auch mit dem Autofahren kein Problem. Der soziale, freundliche Rüde kommt prima mit seinen Artgenossen klar. Bei der Pflegefamilie hat unser „kleiner Wirbelwind“ im Haus sein eigenen Platz, auf dem er gut zu Ruhe kommt. Mick wünscht sich ein Zuhause in ländlicher Gegend. Mit seinem treuen Blick und sanftem Wesen wird er euer Herz im Sturm erobern.

About Mick

What life with Mick looks like

Mick is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Mick, answered.

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