How do I contact the shelter about Mika?

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

Can I adopt Mika if I live in another country?

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

Mika

Border Collie · Female · Adult · 4 years

Mika - a pretty Border Collie mix who finally wants to arrive Mika currently lives in a Spanish animal shelter. The friendly dog already knows family life, because she used to live with children. Unfortunately, we don't know why she was given up. Maybe her owners eventually realized that an active dog needs time, activity and attention - and they didn't want to take on that responsibility anymore. In the shelter, Mika is friendly, open and people-oriented. She is an active dog who likes to be involved and will certainly enjoy activities, walks and activities together. At the same time, Mika is now finally looking for people who consciously choose her and give her the security she so deserves. We are looking for a loving, active family for Mika who knows that a dog is a family member for many years - even when life gets harder. Mika doesn't want to lose her family again. She's looking for people who give her a real second chance and promise her: You can stay. Forever. Who gives Mika the home she's been waiting for? Here's Mika's video

Mika – eine hübsche Bordercollie-Mischlingshündin, die endlich wieder ankommen möchte Mika lebt derzeit in einem spanischen Tierheim. Dabei kennt die freundliche Hündin das Leben in einer Familie bereits, denn sie hat früher mit Kindern zusammengelebt. Warum sie schließlich abgegeben wurde, wissen wir leider nicht. Vielleicht wurde ihren Menschen irgendwann bewusst, dass ein aktiver Hund Zeit, Beschäftigung und Aufmerksamkeit braucht – und genau diese Verantwortung wollte man nicht mehr übernehmen. Im Tierheim zeigt sich Mika freundlich, aufgeschlossen und den Menschen zugewandt. Sie ist eine aktive Hündin, die gerne dabei ist und sicherlich Freude an gemeinsamen Unternehmungen, Spaziergängen und Beschäftigung haben wird. Gleichzeitig soll Mika nun endlich Menschen finden, die sich bewusst für sie entscheiden und ihr die Sicherheit geben, die sie so sehr verdient. Für Mika suchen wir eine liebevolle, aktive Familie, die weiß, dass ein Hund ein Familienmitglied für viele Jahre ist – auch dann, wenn das Leben einmal anstrengender wird. Mika möchte nicht noch einmal ihre Familie verlieren. Sie sucht Menschen, die ihr eine echte zweite Chance geben und ihr versprechen: Du darfst bleiben. Für immer. Wer schenkt Mika das Zuhause, auf das sie schon so lange wartet? Hier geht’s zu Mikas Video

About Mika

What life with Mika looks like

Mika is a adult border collie dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

An 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.
