Adopt Mila

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Name: Mila Breed: possibly Altdeutscher German Shepherd-Collie mix Gender: female neutered Age: about 12 months Size at maturity: about 55 cm Temperament: loving, friendly, initially shy The breed description is purely phenotypic. This means we suspect one or more breed components based solely on the dog's appearance. However, this may not be accurate. The mixed breed could also have additional breed components. We took in Mila along with her sister from our partner animal shelter "Spas Varazdin" in Croatia. The sisters were found as puppies alone in a box by the roadside. A driver brought them to the Spas Varazdin animal shelter. There they were raised with loving care. The sisters were among many German Shepherd mixes last year that somehow got overlooked. They have since been vaccinated and neutered.

Name: Mila Rasse: evtl. Altdeutscher Schäferhund-Collie-Mix Geschlecht: weiblich kastriert Alter: ca. 12 Monate Endgröße: ca. 55 cm Wesen: lieb, freundlich, anfänglich schüchtern Die Rassebeschreibung ist rein phänotypisch. Das heißt wir vermuten eine oder mehrere Rassebestandteile rein nach dem optischen Aussehen des Hundes. Dies kann aber muss nicht stimmen. Es können aber auch noch weitere Rassebestandteile in dem Mischlingshund vereint sein. Mila haben wir, zusammen mit ihrer Schwester, aus unserem Partnertierasyl "Spas Varazdin" Kroatien übernommen.Die Schwestern wurden als Welpe allein in einem Karton am Straßenrand gefunden. Ein Autofahrer brachte sie in das Tierasyl Spas Varazdin. Dort wurden sie liebevoll aufgezogen.Die Schwestern waren eine von vielen Schäferhundmixen letztes Jahr die irgendwie übersehen wurden. Inzwischen wurden sie geimpft und kastriert. Anfang Februar hatten sie nun das Glück und durfte mit nach Deutschla

About Mila

What life with Mila looks like

Mila is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe-Moskito e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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. Tierhilfe-Moskito e.V. 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 — Tierhilfe-Moskito e.V. 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 Tierhilfe-Moskito e.V. 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.
