MIKSIU

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 14 years

MIKSIU 60266 (POA) – SENIOR – male dog, neutered, born ca. 2012, shoulder height ca. 50 cm Miksiu will be brought to us on a leash that causes him no problems. Although we are unfamiliar with Miksiu, he shows friendliness and openness towards us. A very people-oriented senior dog who is still interested in us and his surroundings – you can see it in the photos. According to the animal shelter, Miksiu is a gentle dog who loves being stroked. He also enjoys very calm walks – adjusted to his age. He gets along well with other dogs and behaves positively towards them. Who will give this loving, people-oriented old gentleman a chance to leave the animal shelter? He has very little time left, and his chances of finding a home in Poland are hopeless. (04/2026 B/CS)

MIKSIU 60266 (POA) – SENIOR – Rüde, kastriert, geb. ca. 2012, Schulterhöhe ca. 50 cm Miksiu wird uns an der Leine gebracht, die ihm keinerlei Probleme bereitet. Obwohl wir für Miksiu fremd sind, zeigt er sich uns gegenüber freundlich und offen. Ein sehr menschenbezogener Hundeopa, der noch interessiert an uns und seiner Umgebung ist – man sieht es auf den Fotos. Lt. Tierheim ist Miksiu ein sanfter Hund der es liebt gestreichelt zu werden. Auch ruhige Spaziergänge mag er sehr – angepasst an sein Alter. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich gut und verhält sich ihnen gegenüber positiv. Wer gibt diesem lieben, menschenbezogenen alten Herrn eine Chance das Tierheim zu verlassen? Ihm bleibt nicht mehr viel Zeit und seine Chancen in Polen ein Zuhause zu finden, sind aussichtslos.

About MIKSIU

What life with MIKSIU looks like

MIKSIU is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Polen in Dierkshausen.

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 MIKSIU, answered.

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