Mila

Female · Young · 3 years

Mila was abandoned next to a large ironworks when she was only a few months old. There, she spent many months, left to the mercy of people who passed by. Some gave her food and petted her, while others chased her and even hit her. A kind girl from a nearby store took care of her, giving her food and basic necessities to survive, as well as affection. There were many abandoned males in that factory, and since Mila was no longer a puppy but a mature female, the girl alerted activists from Smederevo to collect funds for her sterilization. Our association then decided to spay and vaccinate her immediately. Mila got a godfather who took all the costs of her accommodation. Returning to the street after being spayed was not an option for us. We provided her with a boarding facility, hoping that someone would soon come forward and inquire about her. Unfortunately, black dogs wait the longest for a home. We truly hope that Mila will finally find people who will love and pamper her. She has been through so much over these years and days, but life is just beginning for her!

Mila je, kada je imala samo nekoliko meseci, izbačena pored velike železare. Tamo je provela mnogo meseci, prepuštena milosti i nemilosti ljudi koji su prolazili. Neki su joj davali hranu i mazili je, dok su je drugi terali i čak udarali. O njoj je brinula divna devojka iz obližnje prodavnice, koja joj je davala hranu i osnovne stvari potrebne da preživi, kao i nežnost. U toj fabrici bilo je mnogo napuštenih mužjaka, a pošto Mila više nije bila štene već zrela ženka, devojka je alarmirala aktiviste iz Smedereva kako bi sakupili sredstva za njenu sterilizaciju. Naše udruženje je tada odlučilo da je odmah steriliše i vakciniše. Mila je dobila i kuma koji je preuzeo sve troškove njenog smeštaja. Povratak na ulicu posle sterilizacije za nas nije bio opcija. Obezbedili smo joj pansion, u nadi da će se uskoro neko javiti i raspitati se za nju. Nažalost, crni psi najduže čekaju dom. Iskreno se nadamo da će Mila konačno pronaći ljude koji će je voleti i maziti. Proživela je mnogo tokom ovih godinu i po dana, ali život je tek pred njom!

About Mila

What life with Mila looks like

Mila is a young adult dog waiting at Šape Smedereva in Smederevo.

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 Serbia

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

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. Šape Smedereva 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 — Šape Smedereva 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 Šape Smedereva 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 (SR). 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.
