Mihai

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Mihai, born in 2019 and about 56 cm tall, is a calm, friendly dog, and a handsome one too. His two-colored eyes give him a distinctive, almost mysterious appearance: one is amber, the other a brilliant blue. Mihai originally came from the horror shelter in Busca. From there he first moved to the shelter in Campurelu, until in June 2025 he was lucky enough to move to the "training camp" in Izvoru. There he shows that there is much more to him than a quiet observer. With patience and affection, he is gradually beginning not only to allow petting but to enjoy it. His progress is clearly noticeable: step by step he opens up and trusts a little more. Mihai is a dog with a fine, sensitive nature. He does not push himself forward but watches first before seeking contact. For people who approach him quietly and respectfully, he will become a loyal, balanced companion. With the right mix of patience, understanding and loving consistency, Mihai can keep growing and build trust. He is now ready for the next step: Mihai can travel abroad starting immediately. We are looking for a home or a foster placement where he can finally settle in, with people who give him time to open up at his own pace and who appreciate his gentle soul. Currently, due to lack of exercise and kennel life, he carries a bit too much weight. We therefore also hope for people who will help him reach a healthy, suitable weight. Mihai is vaccinated, microchipped and neutered, and will be placed with a protection contract after a positive pre-screening. General note about our dogs: Our dogs in Romania are visited regularly so that we can reassess their behavior and development again and again. These personal impressions help us greatly in presenting each individual dog as accurately as possible. However, we would like to point out that a dog in a new environment, with new people, new routines and new impressions, may show itself differently. This is completely normal and part of any process of change. Many dogs open up even faster at home and show sides that were not visible at the shelter. Our assessments are therefore based on current observations, but they are not a guarantee of every behavior in a new setting. They are meant to provide guidance and show how the dog presents itself at the shelter, and what potential lies within him. We are convinced that with patience, understanding and a loving environment, every dog can find his way and continue to develop positively.

Mihai, geboren 2019 und etwa 56 cm groß, ist ein ruhiger, freundlicher Hund und hübsch noch dazu. Seine zweifarbigen Augen verleihen ihm ein unverwechselbares, fast geheimnisvolles Erscheinungsbild: Eines ist bernsteinfarben, das andere strahlend blau.Ursprünglich stammte Mihai aus dem Horrorshelter Busca. Von dort zog er zunächst ins Shelter von Campurelu, bevor er im Juni 2025 das große Glück hatte, in das „Trainingslager“ nach Izvoru umzuziehen. Dort zeigt er, dass in ihm weit mehr steckt als ein stiller Beobachter. Mit Geduld und Zuwendung beginnt er allmählich, Streicheleinheiten nicht nur zuzulassen, sondern zu genießen. Seine Entwicklung ist deutlich spürbar – Schritt für Schritt öffnet er sich und vertraut ein wenig mehr.Mihai ist ein Hund mit einem feinen, sensiblen Wesen. Er drängt sich nicht auf, sondern beobachtet erst, bevor er Kontakt sucht. Für Menschen, die leise und respektvoll mit ihm umgehen, wird er ein treuer, ausgeglichener Begleiter. Mit der richtigen Mischung aus Geduld, Verständnis und liebevoller Konsequenz kann Mihai weiter wachsen und Vertrauen fassen.Nun ist er bereit für den nächsten Schritt: Mihai kann ab sofort ausreisen. Gesucht wird ein Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle, in der er endlich ankommen darf – bei Menschen, die ihm Zeit schenken, um sich in seinem eigenen Tempo zu öffnen, und die seine sanfte Seele zu schätzen wissen. Derzeit hat er durch fehlende Bewegung und Zwinger-Alltag zu viel auf den Rippen. Wir wünschen uns daher auch Menschen, die ihn auf ein gesundes, passendes Gewicht begleiten. Mihai ist geimpft, gechippt und kastriert und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.Allgemeiner Hinweis zu unseren Schützlingen: Unsere Hunde in Rumänien werden regelmäßig besucht, damit wir ihr Verhalten und ihre Entwicklung immer wieder neu einschätzen können. Diese persönlichen Eindrücke helfen uns sehr, ein möglichst gutes Bild von jedem einzelnen Hund zu vermitteln. Dennoch möchten wir darauf hinweisen, dass sich ein Hund in einer neuen Umgebung – mit neuen Menschen, neuen Abläufen und neuen Eindrücken – auch anders zeigen kann. Das ist ganz normal und gehört zu jedem Veränderungsprozess dazu. Viele Hunde öffnen sich im Zuhause sogar schneller und zeigen Seiten, die im Shelter gar nicht sichtbar waren. Unsere Einschätzungen basieren daher auf aktuellen Beobachtungen, sind aber keine Garantie für jedes Verhalten im neuen Umfeld. Sie sollen eine Orientierung geben und zeigen, wie der Hund sich im Shelter präsentiert – und welches Potenzial in ihm steckt.Wir sind überzeugt: Mit Geduld, Verständnis und einem liebevollen Umfeld kann jeder Hund seinen Weg finden und sich positiv weiterentwickeln.

About Mihai

What life with Mihai looks like

Mihai is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Mihai, answered.

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