Adopt MIKE

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Breed: Vizsla-mixed breed (?) Project: Greece/Larissa (L, 11/2024) Gender: male/neutered Age: born 2021 Size: medium Weight: approx. 18 kg (as of 17.11.2024) Other: friendly with people and well-socialized with other dogs, playful, has a lot of energy, more quiet in the house Name: MIKE's History It was in June 2024 when the deputy mayor of Tyrnavos called our colleague to collect a sick dog found in the city center. The voluntary helpers immediately went to find MIKE, who was in a very poor condition. With closed eyes and so thin that he couldn't stand, they found him lying on the ground. Only his eyes begged for help … Our colleagues brought him straight to the vet. Apart from dehydration and malnutrition, MIKE appeared to be healthy. We don't want to know how he ended up in such a desolate state 😔. The blood test results showed that he suffers from leishmaniasis, but with a low value of 1/400. The necessary therapy was immediately started and MIKE is doing very well. He enjoys his life, now gets regular food, and his favorite activities are playing with his best friends IRINI, VICKY, and DOBY. He is always friendly. We are looking for energetic people for MIKE, because MIKE wants to run a lot and be occupied. Activities for mind and nose, such as hide-and-seek and dummy work, suit the hunting-mixed breed. He wants to experience something and needs the opportunity to thoroughly exhaust himself. In his room, he is more quiet and we believe that he will also feel very comfortable in the right home. This is a current and temporary assessment of MIKE. How MIKE will behave in the future, especially after moving to a new home, we cannot predict. Every animal, like us humans, will change and develop. But with the right and loving guidance and stimulation, MIKE will certainly become a very good team member. MIKE is microchipped, vaccinated, treated against endo- and ectoparasites, tested for so-called Mediterranean diseases, and neutered. Where are the sports enthusiasts for MIKE?

Rasse: Vizsla-Mischling (?) Projekt: Griechenland/Larissa (L, 11/2024) Geschlecht: männlich/kastriert Alter: geb. 2021 Größe: mittelgroß Gewicht: ca. 18 kg (Stand 17.11.2024) Sonstiges: freundlich mit Menschen und gut sozialisiert mit anderen Hunden, verspielt, hat sehr viel Energie, im Haus eher ruhig Aktueller Aufenthaltsort: Tierauffangstation in Griechenland/Larissa MIKE’s Geschichte Es war im Juni 2024, als der stellvertretende Bürgermeister von Tyrnavos unsere Kollegin anrief, um einen kranken Hund einzusammeln, der im Zentrum der Stadt lag. Die freiwilligen Helfer fuhren sofort los und fanden MIKE in einem sehr schlechten Zustand vor. Mit geschlossenen Augen und so dünn, dass er nicht aufstehen konnte, fanden sie ihn am Boden liegend. Nur seine Augen bettelten um Hilfe … Unsere Kolleginnen brachten ihn sofort zum Tierarzt. Außer Dehydrierung und Unterernährung war MIKE augenscheinlich gesund. Wir möchten lieben nicht wissen, wie er in diesen desolaten Zustand geraten konnte 😔. Das Ergebnis der veranlassten Blutuntersuchung ergab, dass er an Leishmaniose, aber mit einem niedrigen Wert von 1/400, leidet. Die notwendige Therapie wurde sofort eingeleitet und MIKE geht es sehr gut. Er genießt sein Leben, bekommt jetzt regelmäßig Futter, spielt am liebsten mit seinen besten Freunden IRINI, VICKY und DOBY und ist immer freundlich. Für MIKE suchen wir energiegeladene Menschen, denn MIKE möchte viel laufen und beschäftigt werden. Aktivitäten für Kopf und Nase, z.B. Suchspiele und Dummyarbeit, liegen dem Jagdhund-Mischling. Er möchte etwas erleben und braucht Gelegenheit, sich gründlich auszupowern. In seinem Zimmer ist er eher ruhig und wir glauben, dass er sich auch in dem richtigen Zuhause sehr wohl fühlen wird. Das ist eine momentane und aktuelle Einschätzung zu MIKE. Wie er sich in der Zukunft, vor allem nach einem Umzug in ein neues Zuhause zeigen wird, können wir nicht voraussagen. Jedes Tier, wie auch wir Menschen, wird sich verändern und weiterentwickeln. Aber mit der richtigen und liebevollen Führung und Auslastung wird MIKE bestimmt zu einem sehr guten Teamkollegen werden. MIKE ist gechipt, geimpft, gegen Endo- und Ektoparasiten behandelt, auf die sogenannten Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet und kastriert. Wo sind die Sportsleute für MIKE?

About MIKE

What life with MIKE looks like

MIKE is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierisch Grenzenlos e.V. in Bamberg.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting MIKE, answered.

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