Miki &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Miki, a 12-year-old male German Shepherd (60 cm), is looking for a new home. Unfortunately, his owner can no longer care for him due to health reasons. Miki is a calm, balanced and friendly dog who gets along well with people and is easygoing in everyday life. He enjoys relaxed walks and time with his owners. Currently, he is being cared for at a kennel where he gets along well with other dogs. Driving seems not to be a problem for Miki; he has handled short trips of 30 minutes without getting upset. When meeting children on walks, he behaves friendly and unobtrusive. At home, Miki is very well-behaved, house trained, and can stay alone for a while. Of course, Miki needs time to adjust to his new situation, gain trust, and should not be left alone right away. Miki's greatest wish: a soft bed, loving people, and the chance to spend his golden years in a home of his own rather than at a kennel.

Der 12 jährige Rüde Miki (60 cm) verliert leider sein Zuhause, da sein Frauchen sich aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht mehr um ihn kümmern kann. Miki ist ein ruhiger, ausgeglichener und freundlicher Hund. Er begegnet Menschen offen und zeigt sich im Alltag angenehm und unkompliziert. Er genießt entspannte Spaziergänge und gemeinsame Zeit mit seinen Bezugspersonen. Zur Zeit wird er in einer Hundepension betreut, wo er sich verträglich mit Rüden und Hündinnen zeigt. Autofahren scheint Miki keine Probleme zu bereiten, jedenfalls hat er kurze Fahrten von 30 Minuten unaufgeregt bewältigt. Gegenüber Kindern auf Spaziergängen verhält er sich freundlich und unaufdringlich. Im häuslichen Bereich ist Miki sehr artig, stubenrein und er kann auch für eine Weile alleine bleiben. Natürlich muss Miki sich erst auf die neue Situation einstellen, Vertrauen fassen und sollte nicht gleich alleine bleiben müssen. Mikis größter Wunsch: Ein weiches Körbchen, liebevolle Menschen und die Chance, seinen Lebensabend nicht in einer Pension, sondern in einem eigenen Zuhause verbringen zu dürfen. Miki hat seine Menschen gefunden (2017) Miki genießt es, mit seinen Menschen zu Kuscheln. Auf Spaziergängen zeigt er sich ebenfalls sehr gelehrig. Er läuft schön an der Leine, hat keine Ängste und bei Hundebegegnungen ist er sehr freundlich. Nach einem schweren Unwetter wurde Miki in der Stadt Gyula entdeckt und von Ancsa und Jozsi gesichert. Miki zeigte sich sehr freundlich, er war kastriert und in einem guten körperlichen Zustand. Sogar ein Chip konnte ausgelesen werden. Leider war dieser nicht registriert. Um so größer war die Freude, als sich jemand aus Rumänien meldete, der Miki kannte. Der Besitzer wurde ausfindig gemacht, doch leider gab es kein Happy End. Der Mann erklärte, dass er die Nase voll habe, von diesem Hund, da er schon einige Male bei Gewitter davon gelaufen sei. Er wolle ihn nicht zurückhaben. Nun suchen wir für Miki ein liebevolles Zuhause, wo er bei Gewitter mit seinen Menschen im Haus verweilen darf und nicht allein in einem Garten ausharren muss. Miki ist sehr menschenfreundlich und offen und genießt die Zuwendung und Streicheleinheiten von seinen Betreuern. Er versteht sich gut mit Rüden und Hündinnen und spielt gerne. Die Blutuntersuchung auf Ehrlichiose, Anaplasmose, Borreliose und Herzwurm war negativ (keine Infektion). Wer verliebt sich in diesen freundlichen Rüden und schenkt ihm ein Zuhause auf Lebenszeit?

About Miki &#8211

What life with Miki &#8211 looks like

Miki &#8211 is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Fellfreunde e.V. in Solingen.

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 Miki &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Miki &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fellfreunde e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Miki &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Miki &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fellfreunde 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 Miki &#8211 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 Miki &#8211 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 Fellfreunde e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Miki &#8211 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.
