Miele

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 10 months

Like his two brothers Bob and Dick, Miele is one of our problem children. All three are young, healthy dogs of a not-too-large build, and yet they will have a harder time finding interested adopters. Far from showing any form of aggressive behavior, Miele is a reserved and, at first, rather shy dog. He is not truly a fearful dog, and we are confident that with the necessary patience and understanding he will develop into a wonderful and loyal companion. But Miele will not be a trusting and outgoing dog from the start, and prospective adopters should be aware of this. He gets along well with other dogs throughout, so a dog already living in the household is no problem at all. We hope Miele still gets a chance and can show what a great character is inside him. Once he has gained trust, he can be very affectionate; he simply lacks the courage. If you would like to give Miele a chance and do not expect a "perfect dog" from day one, please contact us - he deserves it.

Auch Miele gehört, wie seine beiden Brüder Bob und Dick zu unseren Sorgenkindern. Bei allen dreien handelt es sich um junge, gesunde Hunde von einer nicht zu großen Statur und dennoch werden sie es schwerer haben Interessenten zu finden. Fernab von jeder Form eines aggressiven Verhaltens, zeigt sich auch Miele als zurückhaltender und anfangs recht scheuer Hund. Es handelt sich bei ihm nicht um einen wirklichen Angsthund und wir sind uns auch sicher, dass er sich mit der nötigen Geduld und dem ihm entgegengebrachten Verständnis zu einem ganz tollen und treuen Begleiter entwickeln wird. Aber Miele wird von Anfang an, kein zutraulicher und aufgeschlossener Hund sein, darüber sollten sich Interessenten im Klaren sein. Mit anderen Hunden kommt er durchweg gut zurecht, ein bereits im Haus lebender Hund stellt also überhaupt kein Problem dar. Wir hoffen für Miele, dass er dennoch eine Chance bekommt und zeigen kann, welch toller Charakter in ihm steckt. Hat er erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, dann kann er auch sehr anhänglich sein, es fehlt ihm einfach der Mut. Falls Sie Miele eine Chance geben möchten und nicht sofort von Tag 1 an einen „perfekten Hund“ erwarten, dann melden Sie sich doch bitte bei uns - er hat es verdient.

About Miele

What life with Miele looks like

Miele is a large puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio Canalba e.V. 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 Miele, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Miele?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rifugio Canalba e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Miele on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Miele if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rifugio Canalba 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Miele 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 Miele 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 Rifugio Canalba e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Miele 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.
