Mike-4

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 2 months

Mike is this adorable puppy. But Mike was confronted with the darker side of life very early, when he was thrown out of the car on August 28, 2026, just a few weeks old, on the parking lot of the hardware store Praktiker. Simply discarded, out of sight, out of mind, left to his fate. Fortunately, his guardian angel looked out for him and attentive people informed the shelter. His quarantine period is over and Mike is ready for a new, varied life as a beloved family dog. We are keeping our fingers crossed that he can soon buy his ticket to happiness. He should, like all other shelter residents, be in the circle of his people and not outside in a kennel. Despite everything, Mike is a loving, playful, curious, lively, open and nice puppy, sometimes shy in new situations. A little gem that must be lovingly shaped, because Mike of course still knows nothing of the dog multiplication table, he is still a baby. But he brings all the prerequisites to become a great and loyal companion who will go through thick and thin with his people. Of course, his new two-legged friends should be aware that a young dog is labor- and time-intensive, but also brings a lot of fun and joy. With his congeners Mike gets along well, lives in a puppy/young dog group and likes to play and romp with his dog friends. For our enchanting Mike, we are looking for dog enthusiastic and loving people who will close him in their hearts. On the daily program should be: varied and exciting walks, species-appropriate occupation and utilization (of course according to age), play, fun, a lot of cuddling and cuddling, enough rest phases and many great shared experiences. The visit to a puppy/young dog school would certainly give him a lot of pleasure and his potential can be promoted. Mike brings a lot of love and action into his new home. Who discovers the big, wide world with Mike? He is currently still too young for a castration, which must be done by his new people when he is old enough. Estimated final size of 42-52cm and final weight of 13-21kg. On September 11, 2026, Mike is 22cm and 3.3kg. Mike can travel from around the beginning of November 2026 if he has found a home or a foster home.

Ursprungsland: Ungarn Mike heisst dieses entzückende Hundekind. Doch Mike wurde schon ganz früh, mit den Schattenseiten des Lebens konfrontiert, als er am 28.8.2026, nur wenige Wochen alt, auf dem Parkplatz des Baumarktes Praktiker, feige aus dem Auto geworfen wurde. Einfach entsorgt, aus den Augen, aus dem Sinn, einfach seinem Schicksal überlassen. Zum Glück passte sein Schutzengel auf ihn auf und aufmerksame Menschen informierten das Menhely. Seine Quarantänezeit ist vorbei und Mike ist bereit, auf ein neues, abwechslungsreiches Leben als geliebter Familienhund. Wir drücken ihm fest die Daumen, dass er bald sein Ticket ins Glück lösen kann. Er sollte, wie alle anderen Tierheimbewohner, im Kreise seiner Menschen sein und nicht draussen in einem Zwinger. Trotz allem ist Mike ein liebes, verspieltes, neugieriges, munteres, aufgeschlossenes und nettes Hundekind, manchmal in neuen Situationen auch schüchtern. Ein kleines Juwel, welches nun liebevoll geformt werden muss, denn Mike kennt natürlich noch nichts vom Hundeeinmaleins, er ist ja noch ein Baby. Aber er bringt alle Voraussetzungen mit, ein toller und loyaler Gefährte zu werden, welcher mit seinen Menschen durch dick und dünn gehen wird. Natürlich sollten sich seine neuen Zweibeiner im Klaren sein, dass ein junger Hund arbeits-und zeitintensiv ist, aber auch jede Menge Spass und Freude mit sich bringt. Mit seine Artgenossen versteht sich Mike prima, lebt in einer Welpen/Junghundegruppe und spielt und tobt gerne mit seinen Hundefreunden. Für unseren bezaubernden Mike suchen wir hundebegeisterte und liebe Menschen, welche ihn fest in ihre Herzen schliessen. Auf dem täglichen Programm sollte stehen: abwechslungsreiche und spannende Spaziergänge, artgerechte Beschäftigung und Auslastung (natürlich dem Alter entsprechend), Spiel, Spass, viel schmusen und knuddeln, genügend Ruhephasen und viele tolle gemeinsame Erlebnisse. Der Besuch einer Welpen/Junghundeschule würde ihm bestimmt viel Vergnügen bereiten und sein Potenzial kann gefördert werden. Mike bringt viel Liebe und Action mit in sein neues Daheim. Wer entdeckt mit Mike die grosse, weite Welt? Aktuell ist er noch zu jung für eine Kastration, die muss von seinen neuen Menschen nachgeholt werden, wenn er alt genug ist. Endgrösse von 42-52cm und Endgewicht von 13-21kg sind nur geschätzt. Am 11.9.2026 ist Mike 22cm und 3,3kg Mike kann ab ca. Anfang November 2026 reisen, wenn er ein Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle gefunden hat.

About Mike-4

What life with Mike-4 looks like

Mike-4 is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Happyend in Animal Happyend.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mike-4, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mike-4?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animal Happyend handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mike-4 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mike-4 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animal Happyend 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 Mike-4 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 Mike-4 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 Animal Happyend early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mike-4 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.
