Adopt Mila

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

loving, compatible, friendly Mila is a very people-oriented, easy-going and attentive female dog - who, however, cannot hide her herding gene either. And there is definitely something "herding-minded" mixed in. For this reason, we are looking for people with relevant experience for our exceptionally beautiful girl. Mila loves to cuddle and is playful and funny, but still needs to learn some house rules. On the leash, she behaves well with confident handling and loves going for walks. However, if the person lets her, she will often get a bit rowdy. She has already lived with various dogs here, but ultimately, it all depends on the chemistry. In the run, she tends to surprise her run-mates with her actions when frustrated, which they have already experienced. Currently, she lives with our whippet, Tiffy - a setup that surprisingly works well. However, she should preferably be an only dog in her new home, with a possibility of a confident, large dog, which would need to be built up gradually. She is enthusiastic about training exercises until she loses interest, but can be easily motivated. She enjoys being brushed and petted and relishes any affection and attention. She also does not refuse a play invitation. Mila is now looking for dog-experienced people who are familiar with herding dogs or their mixes - she is not a beginner dog and should not be with small children. Of course, she should live as a full-fledged member of the household, but an enclosed yard should be available. The right people will find in Mila a sporty, friendly, attached, and intelligent companion who bonds closely with their family. Anyone who would like to meet our Mila girl or has further questions can contact her foster parent.

lieb, verträglich, zutraulich Mila ist eine sehr menschenbezogene, umgängliche und zugewandte Hündin - die jedoch auch ihre Gene nicht verbergen kann. Und da hat auf jeden Fall was "Herdenschutzmäßiges" mitgemischt. Von daher suchen wir für unser außergewöhnlich hübsches Mädchen Menschen mit diesbezüglicher Erfahrung. Mila liebt es zu kuscheln und ist verspielt und lustig, muss aber noch einige Spielregeln lernen. An der Leine verhält sie sich bei souveräner Führung gut und liebt es auch sehr spazieren zu gehen. Wenn der Mensch sie jedoch machen lässt, pöbelt sie schon recht gerne mal. Sie hat bei uns schon mit diversen verschiedenen Hunden zusammengelebt, letztlich entscheidet hier aber die Sympathie. Im Zwinger neigt sie bei Frust jedoch zu Übersprungshandlungen, die ihre Zwingerkollegen auch schon mal zu spüren bekommen. Derzeit lebt sie mit unserer Windhündin Tiffy zusammen - eine Konstellation, die erstaunlich gut klappt. Jedoch sollte sie in ihrem neuen Zuhause vorzugsweise Einzelprinzessin sein, vorstellbar wäre ein souveräner, großer Hund, dies müsste jedoch langsam aufgebaut werden. Sie ist bei Übungen begeistert dabei, bis sie eben keine Lust mehr hat ;-) lässt sich aber eigentlich gut motivieren. Sie wird gern gebürstet und gestreichelt und genießt jede Zuwendung und Aufmerksamkeit. Auch zu einer Spielaufforderung sagt sie nicht nein. Mila sucht nun hundeerfahrene Menschen, die sich im besten Fall schon mit Herdenschutzhunden oder deren Mischlingen auskennen - sie ist kein Anfängerhund und sollte auch nicht zu kleinen Kindern. Natürlich soll sie als vollwertiges Mitglied im Haushalt leben, ein eingezäunter Garten sollte jedoch vorhanden sein. Die richtigen Menschen werden in Mila eine sportliche, freundliche, anhängliche und kluge Begleiterin finden, die sich eng an ihre Familie bindet. Wer unser Mila-Mädchen gerne einmal kennenlernen möchte oder weitere Fragen hat, kann sich hierzu an gerne an ihre Vermittlerin wenden.

About Mila

What life with Mila looks like

Mila is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt in Essen.

An young 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. 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 Mila, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mila?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 — 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 (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.
