Milan

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Milan (born 03/2014) has been in foster care for so long now, and he deeply wishes for a real home of his own at last. He stands about 54 cm at the shoulder and is a sweet, easygoing treasure. Older dogs like him are often harder to place, yet he deserves love and happiness just as much as any other dog. At first he doesn't let strangers touch him, but with his foster mom Milan is very cuddly. He loves warmth, cozy resting places, peace and quiet, his calm pack, and simply finds life wonderful. He has probably had bad experiences in his past, which is why he is still cautious when people hold something in their hands. With calm, patience, and positive experiences, you will win Milan's heart. Sometimes this older gentleman can be downright silly, and he is easily won over with treats. He doesn't like going on walks, so he is looking for a home with a garden. Milan is fully house-trained. He gets along very well with females and neutered males. Milan is therefore also suitable as a second dog. Where are the older people who would love to have Milan as a calm companion? This loyal soul brings pure joy just by being present. Will you give him the chance to show you? Contact us and arrange a meeting with this sweet doggy grandpa. Milan is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and after a positive pre-screening he will be placed with a protection contract. The

Milan (geb. 03/2014) ist nun schon so lange auf seiner Pflegestelle und wünscht sich endlich ein richtiges eigenes Zuhause. Er misst eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 54 cm und ist ein lieber und unkomplizierter Schatz. Ältere Hunde, wie er lassen sich häufig schwieriger vermitteln, dabei verdient er es genauso Liebe und Glück zu erfahren.Von Fremden lässt er sich anfangs nicht anfassen, doch seinem Pflegefrauchen zeigt sich Milan sehr verschmust. Er liebt die Wärme, kuschelige Liegeplätze, die Ruhe, sein friedliches Rudel und findet das Leben einfach nur toll. Vermutlich musste er in seiner Vergangenheit schlechte Erfahrungen machen, daher ist er immer noch vorsichtig, wenn Menschen etwas in der Hand halten. Mit Ruhe, Geduld und positiven Erlebnissen, wird man Milans Herz erobern. Manchmal kann der ältere Herr richtig albern sein und ist gut mit Futter bestechlich. Gassirunden mag er nicht gehen, daher sucht er ein Zuhause mit Garten. Milan ist absolut stubenrein. Er ist mit Hündinnen und kastrierten Rüden bestens verträglich. Milan eignet sich daher auch als Zweithund.Wo sind die älteren Menschen, die Milan gerne als ruhigen Gefährten hätten?Diese treue Seele bereitet pure Freude einfach durch seine Anwesenheit.

About Milan

What life with Milan looks like

Milan is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Milan, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Milan?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Vierbeiner in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Milan on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Milan if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Vierbeiner in Not 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Milan 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 Milan 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 Vierbeiner in Not e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Milan 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.
