Mila

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Primary vaccination + rabies vaccination—Mila is looking for her people! She’s waiting in 16348 Wandlitz. Who will fall in love with our Mila? Our beautiful German Shepherd dog, Mila, is eagerly awaiting her people—people who will give her the chance for a loving home and a life together. The approximately four-year-old dog originally comes from Bosnia, where she was found alone and wandering on the streets. Despite her difficult start in life, she has retained her friendliness and openness. At the animal shelter, she lived without any problems in a large pack of dogs before being able to make the journey to her foster home in Germany. For almost half a year now, Mila has been living in Germany and has developed wonderfully here. She’s house-trained, masters basic commands, and every day shows anew just how eager to learn and people-oriented she is. Standing about 55 cm tall at the shoulder and weighing around 30 kg, she’s a sporty, intelligent German Shepherd who loves shared activities and forming a close bond with her people. Of course, Mila is vaccinated, microchipped, spayed/neutered, and has already been tested for Mediterranean diseases. Upon arrival, she also tested positive for heartworms. She successfully completed treatment and has recovered splendidly. In general, Mila has had good experiences with other dogs. However, currently, encounters with dogs on leash are still challenging for her, and sometimes she reacts loudly out of frustration. At her foster home, they’re diligently training her, and she’s making steady progress. With the right guidance, patience, and understanding, she’ll surely continue to master this area. We’d like an active home for Mila—ideally with people experienced in raising German Shepherds. But even motivated beginners who are deeply committed to understanding the needs of this special breed and enjoy learning together with Mila would be a great match for her. Mila isn’t waiting for perfect people—she’s waiting for people who’ll give her a real chance. People who can look past minor challenges and recognize the loyal, intelligent, and lovable dog that lies within her. Who will finally give Mila the home she’s been waiting for so long? Maybe you’re exactly the one who can offer her a second chance. Submit an inquiry for Mila.

Grundimmunisierung + Tollwut Mila sucht ihre Menschen Sie wartet in 16348 Wandlitz Wer verliebt sich in unsere Mila? Unsere wunderschöne Schäferhündin Mila wartet sehnsüchtig auf ihre Menschen – Menschen, die ihr die Chance auf ein eigenes Zuhause und ein gemeinsames Leben schenken. Die etwa vierjährige Hündin stammt ursprünglich aus Bosnien. Dort wurde sie allein und streunend auf der Straße gefunden. Trotz ihres schwierigen Starts ins Leben hat sie sich ihre Freundlichkeit und ihre Offenheit bewahrt. Im Tierheim lebte sie anschließend problemlos in einem großen Hunderudel, bevor sie die Reise auf ihre Pflegestelle nach Deutschland antreten durfte. Seit knapp einem halben Jahr lebt Mila nun in Deutschland und hat sich dort wunderbar entwickelt. Sie ist stubenrein, beherrscht die Grundkommandos und zeigt jeden Tag aufs Neue, wie lernfreudig und menschenbezogen sie ist. Mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 55 cm und einem Gewicht von rund 30 kg ist sie eine sportliche, intelligente Schäferhündin, die sich über gemeinsame Aktivitäten und eine enge Bindung zu ihren Menschen freut. Selbstverständlich ist Mila geimpft, gechipt und kastriert und bereits auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Bei ihrer Ankunft wurde sie zudem positiv auf Herzwürmer getestet. Die Behandlung hat sie erfolgreich abgeschlossen und sie hat alles bestens überstanden. Mit anderen Hunden hat Mila grundsätzlich gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Dennoch fallen ihr Hundebegegnungen an der Leine aktuell noch schwer und sie reagiert dabei manchmal aus Frust lautstark. Auf ihrer Pflegestelle wird fleißig mit ihr trainiert, und sie macht kontinuierlich Fortschritte. Mit der richtigen Anleitung, Geduld und Verständnis wird sie diesen Bereich sicher weiter meistern. Für Mila wünschen wir uns ein aktives Zuhause, idealerweise bei schäferhunderfahrenen Menschen. Aber auch motivierte Anfänger, die sich intensiv mit den Bedürfnissen dieser besonderen Rasse beschäftigen und Freude daran haben, gemeinsam mit Mila zu lernen, kommen für sie infrage. Mila wartet nicht auf perfekte Menschen – sondern auf Menschen, die ihr eine echte Chance geben. Menschen, die über kleine Baustellen hinwegsehen und erkennen, was für eine treue, kluge und liebenswerte Hündin in ihr steckt. Wer schenkt Mila endlich das Zuhause, auf das sie schon so lange wartet? Vielleicht bist genau du ihre zweite Chance. Anfrage für Mila stellen

About Mila

What life with Mila looks like

Mila is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ankerhunde e.V. in Novi Grad.

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 Bosnia and Herzegovina

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. Ankerhunde 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 — Ankerhunde 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 Ankerhunde 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.
