Adopt Mijagis

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 20 years

On May 10th at about 9:20 AM in Vilnius, near house number 141 Pramonės street, a dog was wandering on the road. When he saw our employee getting out of the car, he approached her by himself and didn't move away. Thus, he ended up in the car and arrived at our shelter. The dog looks and smells tragically... His collar seems to have been hanging around his neck for more than 20 years... The collar had already started to rot, to be eaten by worms, there was no ring left to attach the leash... The fur was all matted, full of fleas, almost no teeth left, completely worn down, it had difficulty controlling its hind legs... He is a complete old man. The dog was very hungry and tired, but his tail still wagged happily and he enjoyed being petted. We doubt that he has an owner, and if he does, it doesn't seem that they care about their pet. He doesn't have a microchip. We named the dog Mijagis and accepted him into our family.

10.05 apie 9.20 val Vilniuje, netoli Pramonės g. 141 namo ant kelio blaškėsi šuo. Pamatęs, kad mūsų darbuotoja išlipo iš automobilio, jis pats pribėgo ir niekur nesitraukė. Taip atsidūrė automobilyje ir atvyko į mūsų prieglaudą. Šunelis atrodo ir smirdi tragiškai… Jo antkaklis atrodo, kad ant jo kaklo kabo jau daugiau nei 20 metų… Antkaklis jau seniai pradėjęs irti, pelyti, nei žiedelio prisegti pavadžiui nelikę… Kailis visas sulypęs, pilnas blusų, dantų beveik nerasta, visiškai nudilę, sunkiai valdo galines kojas… Jis jau visiškas seneliukas. Šunelis buvo labai alkanas ir pavargęs, bet uodegytę vis dar linksmai vizgino ir mėgavosi paglostymais. Abejojame, kad jis turi šeimininkus, o jei ir turi, tai neatrodo, kad jiems rūpi jų augintinis. Mikročipo neturi. Šunelį pavadinome Mijagiu ir priėmėme į savo šeimą.

About Mijagis

What life with Mijagis looks like

Mijagis is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at SOS Gyvūnai in Šalčininkų r. sav..

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇱🇹Adopting from Lithuania

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mijagis, answered.

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