Mika

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Update: Mika hat es geschafft - er darf am 28.08. endlich, nach so langer Zeit auf eine liebevolle Pflegestelle in Lübeck ausreisen. Wir freuen uns sehr für ihn! Sobald Mika angekommen ist und Vertrauen fassen konnte, werden wir ein ausführliches Update über ihn schreiben und natürlich auch neue Fotos von dem wunderschönen Hundemann hochladen. Mika ist ein sehr ängstlicher Rüde, geboren 2017 und etwa 50 cm groß, der sich im Moment nur in seiner schützenden Hütte sicher fühlt. Sobald jemand versucht, sich ihm zu nähern – besonders mit einem Handy zum Filmen – flüchtet er sofort. Er ist eine zutiefst verunsicherte, arme Seele, die erst wieder lernen muss, dass die Welt nicht nur aus Gefahren besteht.Trotz seiner Angst zeigt Mika keinerlei Aggression. Er lebt freundlich und friedlich mit einer etwas mutigeren Hündin zusammen, die ihm Halt gibt. In der richtigen Umgebung könnte er sich an einem souveränen Ersthund orientieren und langsam Schritte ins Leben zurückfinden.Ob er wohl eine Chance bekommt – jemanden, der sagt: „Mika, ich sehe dich. Und ich gehe diesen Weg mit dir.“Pflegestelle oder Zuhause dringend gesucht: Für unseren Senior Mika suchen wir erfahrene, liebevolle Menschen, die ihn nicht bedrängen, sondern ihm Zeit schenken. Eine einfühlsame Pflegestelle, die ihn behutsam aufbaut, wäre ein großes Geschenk. Ebenso ein geduldiges, verständnisvolles Zuhause, das seine Angst ernst nimmt und ihm zeigt, dass Vertrauen wachsen darf.Mika ist kastriert und wird geimpft, gechippt und nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.

About Mika

What life with Mika looks like

Mika is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mika, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mika?
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 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 — 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. 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 Vierbeiner in Not 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.
