Mike

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

64cm tall, age *08/2018. Compatible with male dogs: YesFemale dogs: YesCats: not tested yet At the shelter since: 30.05.2026Location: ANAA Animal Shelter June 2026 - Mike is a beautiful Greyhound mix. Behind his gentle eyes lies a kind, calm and sensitive dog who just needs some time to gain trust. When you first meet him, he appears shy and cautious. But with friendly words, a few treats and loving caresses, he quickly thaws and shows his true nature. He is affectionate, friendly and enjoys being close to his people. Mike is very social and gets along well with other dogs. In the open run, he enjoys activities with his fellow canines while remaining pleasant, calm and composed. New situations or hectic movements can still unsettle him. But he is also brave and tries to overcome his fears. With patience, understanding and loving guidance, he gains increasing confidence. He already walks well on a leash and pays close attention to his human. Mike spent his entire life so far in the animal shelter, which is very sad. Now he is waiting to finally experience how wonderful a home of his own can be - with a soft bed, loving people and many shared moments. A confident first dog would make it easier for him to start his new life, but it's not a must. Mike is looking for people with heart, patience and understanding who will show him that the world can also be full of beautiful surprises. Mike is waiting to finally arrive - maybe at your place.

Größe: 64cmAlter: *08/2018. Verträglich mitRüden: JaHündinnen: JaKatzen: noch nicht getestet Bei uns seit: 30.05.2026Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim ANAA Juni 2026 – Mike ist ein wunderschöner Greyhound-Mix. Hinter seinen sanften Augen verbirgt sich ein lieber, ruhiger und sensibler Hund, der einfach ein wenig Zeit braucht um Vertrauen zu fassen. Wenn man ihm das erste Mal begegnet, wirkt er zunächst schüchtern und vorsichtig. Doch mit freundlichen Worten, ein paar Leckerlis und liebevollen Streicheleinheiten, taut er schnell auf und zeigt sein wahres Wesen. Er ist verschmust, freundlich und genießt dann die Nähe zu seinen Menschen. Mike ist sehr sozial und versteht sich hervorragend mit anderen Hunden. Im Freilauf genießt er gemeinsame Aktivitäten mit seinen Artgenossen und bleibt dabei aber meist angenehm, ruhig und gelassen. Neue Situationen oder hektische Bewegungen können ihn noch verunsichern. Doch er ist auch mutig und versucht seine Ängste zu überwinden. Mit Geduld, Verständnis und liebevoller Führung gewinnt er zunehmend an Sicherheit. An der Leine läuft er bereits ganz gut und orientiert sich aufmerksam an seinem Menschen. Mike verbrachte sein ganzes bisheriges Leben im Tierheim, was sehr traurig ist. Nun wartet er darauf endlich zu erfahren, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann – mit einem weichen Körbchen, liebevollen Menschen und vielen gemeinsamen Momenten. Ein vorhandener souveräner Ersthund würde ihm den Start in sein neues Leben erleichtern, ist aber kein Muss. Mike sucht Menschen mit Herz, Geduld und Verständnis, die ihm zeigen, dass die Welt auch voller schöner Überraschungen sein kann. Mike wartet darauf endlich anzukommen – vielleicht bei Ihnen.

About Mike

What life with Mike looks like

Mike is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiere in Spanien e.V. in Hamburg.

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 Mike, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mike?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tiere in Spanien 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 — Tiere in Spanien 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 Tiere in Spanien 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.
