How do I contact the shelter about Micky?

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

Can I adopt Micky if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierfreunde Patras 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 Micky 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 Micky 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 Tierfreunde Patras e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Micky 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.

Micky

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Micky lives at the city animal shelter in Patras, Greece / VIDEOS AVAILABLE !!! male dog/spayed, born around April 2023, size: approx. 43 cm Micky was found by our Maria and her colleague at the edge of a country road. The male dog was completely emaciated, weak, and could barely stand up. Maria had some wet food with her and simply laid it on the road. The poor Micky practically dove into it (see the last picture). It was not an option to leave him there, so Maria packed Micky into the car and took him to the vet. There, he was first treated. High liver values were discovered. Micky received medication and shortly after, he could be housed at the city animal shelter. Here, he has largely recovered, gained strength, and can now slowly start looking for his own family. He is barely recognizable, has put on weight, and is full of joy. He also gets along well with all the other dogs and is happy to receive affection from the shelter staff. Micky is already neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. Additionally, he has his own EU pet passport.

Micky lebt im städt. Tierheim in Patras / GriechenlandVIDEOS VORHANDEN !!! Rüde/kastriertgeb. ca. April 2023 Grösse : ca. 43 cm Micky wurde von unserer Maria und ihrer Kollegin am Rand einer Landstraße gefunden. Der Rüde war völlig abgemagert, entkräftet und konnte kaum aufstehen. Maria hatte Nassfutter dabei und hat es ihm einfach auf die Straße gelegt. Der arme Micky stürzte sich regelrecht darauf (siehe letztes Bild). Es war keine Option, ihn dort zu lassen und so hat Maria Micky ins Auto gepackt und zum Tierarzt gebracht. Dort ist er erstversorgt worden. Dabei kamen erhöhte Leberwerte zu tage. Micky bekam Medikamente und kurzer Zeit später konnte er im städtischen Tierheim untergebracht werden. Hier hat er sich weitgehend erholt, ist wieder zu Kräften gekommen und kann sich nun langsam auf die Suche nach einer eigenen Familie machen. Er ist kaum wieder zu erkennen, hat gut zugenommen und strotzt vor Lebensfreude. Er verträgt sich auch mit allen Hunden und freut sich über jede Zuwendung der Tierheimbetreuer. Micky ist bereits kastriert, geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt. Außerdem hat er seinen eigenen EU-Heimtierausweis im Gepäck.

About Micky

What life with Micky looks like

Micky is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde Patras e.V. in Ratingen.

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.
