Mila

Chihuahua · Female · Adult · 4 years

Mila is a sweet and gentle four-year-old Chihuahua. In new situations she takes her time to observe, but her curiosity soon wins out. Once she feels comfortable, she shows off her playful, affectionate, and loyal nature. Mila is a true companion dog who loves being with her people. She enjoys cuddling, spending quality time together, and following her owner everywhere. She also really likes playing and doing things together. During walks, Mila walks well on a leash. She enjoys sniffing around and can sometimes pull on the leash due to enthusiasm, but she is easy to correct. She responds kindly and calmly to other dogs and knows basic commands like "sit" and "lie down." We are looking for a loving home where Mila can be part of the family and get plenty of attention. She can be placed with other dogs, but this is not required. Her interactions with cats are unknown. Mila can be placed with children of all ages.

Mila is een lieve en zachtaardige Chihuahua van vier jaar oud. In nieuwe situaties kijkt ze eerst rustig de kat uit de boom, maar haar nieuwsgierigheid wint al snel. Wanneer ze zich op haar gemak voelt, laat ze haar vrolijke, aanhankelijke en trouwe karakter zien. Mila is een echte gezelschapshond die graag bij haar mensen is. Ze houdt van knuffelen, gezellig samen zijn en volgt haar baasje het liefst overal. Ook spelen en samen bezig zijn vindt ze erg leuk. Tijdens wandelingen loopt Mila goed mee. Ze geniet van het snuffelen en kan door enthousiasme soms even aan de lijn trekken, maar is goed te corrigeren. Ze reageert vriendelijk en ontspannen op andere honden en kent de basiscommando’s ‘zit’ en ‘lig’. Voor Mila zoeken we een liefdevol huishouden waar ze onderdeel mag zijn van het gezin en voldoende aandacht krijgt. Ze kan met andere honden geplaatst worden, maar dit is geen vereiste. Haar omgang met katten is onbekend. Mila kan bij kinderen van alle leeftijden geplaatst worden. Ga terug

About Mila

What life with Mila looks like

Mila is a adult chihuahua dog waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem in Netherlands.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mila, answered.

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