Miguel

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Miguel ist ein sanfter, liebevoller und ruhiger junger Rüde, der die Nähe zu seinen Menschen sehr schätzt. Er wurde nahezu blind geboren. Mit einem Auge kann er nichts sehen, mit dem anderen erkennt er lediglich Umrisse. Trotzdem kommt Miguel erstaunlich gut zurecht. Er orientiert sich an seinem Gehör, seinem Geruchssinn und seinem Gedächtnis und fühlt sich besonders sicher, wenn sein Mensch in seiner Nähe ist. Fremden Menschen gegenüber kann Miguel anfangs etwas vorsichtig und verunsichert sein. Er braucht jedoch nur wenig Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat er sich eingewöhnt, zeigt er sein liebevolles Wesen und genießt Aufmerksamkeit und Zuneigung sehr. Erwachsenen und Kindern begegnet er freundlich und warmherzig. Auch mit anderen Tieren ist Miguel unkompliziert. Hunde lernt er ruhig und interessiert kennen, und mit Katzen versteht er sich ebenfalls gut. Er kann gut an der Leine laufen und liebt Spaziergänge, bei denen er seine Umgebung über Gerüche und Geräusche erkundet. Stadtlärm und vorbeifahrende Autos nimmt er ruhig wahr, besonders wohl fühlt er sich jedoch in der Natur. Autofahrten meistert Miguel problemlos. Während der Fahrt liegt er ruhig neben seinen Menschen und sucht gerne ihre Nähe. Vor ihm liegt noch ein langes Leben, in dem er gemeinsam mit seiner Familie vieles entdecken und lernen darf. Für Miguel wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit, Geduld und Geborgenheit schenken und seine Sehbehinderung nicht als Grenze sehen. Vielleicht bist du der Mensch, bei dem Miguel die Welt auf seine ganz eigene Weise entdecken und endlich sicher zuhause sein darf.

About Miguel

What life with Miguel looks like

Miguel is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein House of animals Marfino eV in Jessen (Elster).

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Miguel, answered.

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