Adopt Miky

Male · Senior · 10 years

But how beautiful Miky is! A black and tan German Shepherd, with paws like a lion. A large and majestic dog. But look into his eyes, look at his posture. Miky hasn't been treated well. All his appearance speaks of much pain in the past. He is 10 years old and very afraid. When you approach, he cowers, afraid that he's going to be hit. We don't know his story, but he wants to tell it. Mike is a good dog, he is docile and walks well on a leash. In the time he has been with us, as a brave dog that he is, he is starting to trust the volunteers. He lets them brush and handle him, not having had a bad experience. Miky needs a second chance at life. All that beauty he has hidden must be shown to the world. He also has to be proud of being a handsome dog.

¡Pero qué precioso es Miky!. Un pastor alemán negro y fuego, con patazas de león. Un perro grande y majestuoso. Pero mira sus ojos, mira su postura. A Miky no lo han tratado bien. Toda su imagen nos habla de mucho dolor en el pasado. Tiene 10 años y mucho miedo. Cuando te acercas, se agacha, temeroso de que le vayan a pegar. No conocemos su historia, pero él nos la quiere contar. Mike es un perro bueno, es dócil y pasea bien. En el tiempo que lleva con nosotros, como perro valiente que es, se va acercando a los voluntarios, empezando a confiar. Se deja cepillar y manipular, no ha tenido un mal gesto. Miky necesita que la vida le de otra oportunidad. Toda esa belleza que tiene escondida debe salir al mundo. Él también tiene que presumir de ser un perro guapo.

About Miky

What life with Miky looks like

Miky is a large senior dog waiting at Protectora Malaga in Málaga.

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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Miky, answered.

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