Mika

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Mika is a beautiful and exceptionally good mother who raised her puppies with a lot of patience, gentleness and love. She is calm and gentle and is not for active, big adventures. Mika actually believes she is a bit of a cat - she would rather spend most of her day lounging, enjoying the peace and attention of her people, and maybe she could purr with pleasure. She loves a slower pace of life, affection and closeness to humans and would be best suited to a quiet home where she can enjoy her days without much hurry. Mika has leishmaniasis, which is why she needs to take regular therapy, or her pills. This is just one part of her life and by no means means that she is less valuable or that she does not deserve her home - she is a gentle, sweet and beautiful female dog who just needs a responsible family ready to give her the necessary care and a lot of love.

HR·Show original

Mika je prekrasna i iznimno dobra mama koja je svoje štence odgajala s puno strpljenja, nježnosti i ljubavi. Mirna je i blaga te nije za aktivne, velike avanture. Mika zapravo vjeruje da je pomalo mačka – najradije bi većinu dana provela izležavajući se, uživajući u miru i pažnji svojih ljudi, a možda bi od zadovoljstva mogla i zapresti. Voli sporiji ritam života, maženje i blizinu čovjeka te bi joj najbolje odgovarao miran dom u kojem će moći uživati u svojim danima bez puno žurbe. Mika ima lišmaniozu, zbog čega treba redovito uzimati terapiju, odnosno svoje tabletice. To je samo jedan dio njezina života i nikako ne znači da je manje vrijedna ili da ne zaslužuje svoj dom – ona je nježna, draga i prekrasna kujica koja samo treba odgovornu obitelj spremnu pružiti joj potrebnu brigu i puno ljubavi.

About Mika

What life with Mika looks like

Mika is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Sklonište za napuštene životinje Zadar in Zadar.

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 Croatia

Croatian shelters include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID in the adoption process. Several work with Italian and German rescue networks for placements.

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. Sklonište za napuštene životinje Zadar 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 — Sklonište za napuštene životinje Zadar 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 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 Sklonište za napuštene životinje Zadar 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 (HR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
