Mikka

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Mikka (born 10/2018) is a roughly 38 cm tall but sturdy male dog who has been living in his foster home in Lübeck since mid-May. After a difficult start at the Romanian shelter, he is now making steady progress in Germany. Mikka still runs away when someone approaches him directly. At the same time, he shows that he wants to learn to trust: he already walks very nicely on the leash, and he now patiently accepts being petted. He remains cautious, however, and needs people who give him time and don't pressure him. With calm, patience and confident guidance, Mikka can develop into a wonderful companion. A self-assured and secure second dog would be especially important for him, since another dog can give him orientation and a sense of security. Mikka may be visited several times at his foster home in Lübeck. This gives his future people the opportunity to earn his trust at their own pace and to take the next step together with him. Mikka is neutered and will be vaccinated, microchipped and placed with a protection contract after a positive pre-screening. A safety harness is required when collecting the dog. Such a harness (3 straps) can be purchased with him for only 25€.

Mikka (geb. 10/2018) ist ein etwa 38 cm kleiner, aber kräftiger Rüde, der seit Mitte Mai auf seiner Pflegestelle in Lübeck lebt. Nach seinem schwierigen Start im rumänischen Shelter macht er in Deutschland nun Schritt für Schritt Fortschritte.Noch rennt Mikka weg, wenn man direkt auf ihn zugeht. Gleichzeitig zeigt er, dass er lernen möchte, Vertrauen zu fassen: An der Leine läuft er bereits prima und auch Streicheleinheiten lässt er inzwischen geduldig zu. Er ist dabei weiterhin vorsichtig und braucht Menschen, die ihm Zeit geben und ihn nicht bedrängen.Mit Ruhe, Geduld und einer sicheren Führung kann Mikka sich zu einem tollen Begleiter entwickeln. Ein souveräner und sicherer Zweithund wäre für ihn besonders wichtig, da ihm ein anderer Hund Orientierung und Sicherheit geben kann.Mikka darf auf seiner Pflegestelle in Lübeck gerne mehrfach besucht werden. So haben seine zukünftigen Menschen die Möglichkeit, in Ruhe sein Vertrauen zu gewinnen und gemeinsam mit ihm den nächsten Schritt zu gehen.Mikka ist kastriert und wird geimpft, gechippt und nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.Das Tragen eines Sicherheitsgeschirrs ist bei der Abholung des Hundes notwendig. Ein solches Geschirr (3 Riemen) kann für nur 25€ mit erworben werden.

About Mikka

What life with Mikka looks like

Mikka is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mikka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mikka?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Vierbeiner in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mikka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mikka if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Vierbeiner in Not 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mikka 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 Mikka 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 Vierbeiner in Not e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mikka 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.
