Milena – A charming little snout on four paws is searching for her forever home! 🐾❤️ .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-90 > .fusion-body .fusion-flex-container .fusion-imageframe.imageframe-11 img{aspect-ratio:9 / 16;object-position:35% 45%;} .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-91 > Location: Animal shelter in Slavonski Brod, Croatia Date of birth: approx.

This is Milena, our young, jet-black fluffy sweetheart with the chicest white socks and arguably the most charming grin in the entire shelter! Weighing just 8 kg and standing about 37 cm tall at the shoulder, this spayed female dog has the perfect size to be right in the middle of everything. What makes Milena so incredibly special? Besides her curly bear-like coat and her trusting round eyes, her clever little underbite immediately catches the eye. Her lower jaw sticks out just a tiny bit—and that’s precisely what gives her that unmistakable, extremely endearing look of innocent innocence that’s impossible to resist! 😉✨ From the street straight into your heart Milena was found alone and frightened on the street. Since October, she’s been waiting here at our shelter for her big break. At first, she sometimes shows a shy side briefly—but as soon as the ice melts (and it happens fast!), an absolute sweetheart emerges. Milena is definitely not a couch potato, but a lively, playful, and energetic young lady! She loves attention, cuddles, and wild play sessions more than anything. She also gets along great with other dogs. We don’t yet know how she’ll react to cats, but we’d be happy to test that out on-site if needed. An optical unique with a puzzle factor By the way, her appearance is a perfectly successful mix: Does she look like a miniature Croatian Shepherd paired with the cheeky charm of a Pekingese? Quite possible! In any case, she’s an absolute one-of-a-kind who simply has to be loved. What Milena’s dream of happiness looks like Milena is looking for active people who are excited to teach a young dog the basics of dog life, explore the world together, and take long, enjoyable walks. Three great walks a day, rambunctious playtime, and then lots of cuddling on the sofa—exactly that would make this little sugar doll overjoyed. Are you just as smitten by Milena’s unique gaze as we are? Then get in touch with us quickly! Milena is sitting on packed suitcases, just waiting to brighten up your life. 🐶💌 .fusion-body .fusion-button Interested in adopting?

Das ist Milena, unser junges, pechschwarzes Wuschelschätzchen mit den schicksten weißen Söckchen und dem wohl charmantesten Grinsen des ganzen Tierheims! Bei kompakten 8 kg und etwa 37 cm Schulterhöhe hat die kastrierte Hündin genau die perfekte Größe, um überall mittendrin zu sein. Was Milena so unglaublich besonders macht? Neben ihrem lockigen Bärenfell und ihren treuen Kugelaugen fällt sofort ihr genialer kleiner Unterbiss ins Auge. Ihr Unterkiefer schaut ein klitzekleines Bisschen hervor – und genau das verleiht ihr diesen unverwechselbaren, extrem sympathischen Unschuldsblick, dem man einfach keinen Wunsch abschlagen kann! 😉✨ Von der Straße mitten ins Herz Milena wurde ganz allein und verängstigt auf der Straße gefunden. Seit Oktober wartet sie nun bei uns im Tierheim auf ihre Entdeckung. Anfangs zeigt sie sich manchmal noch ganz kurz von ihrer schüchternen Seite, aber sobald das Eis geschmolzen ist (und das geht schnell!), taucht ein absoluter Herzenshund auf. Milena ist definitiv keine Schlaftablette, sondern eine aufgeweckte, verspielte und energiegeladene junge Dame! Sie liebt Aufmerksamkeit, Kuscheleinheiten und wilde Spielstunden über alles. Auch mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich prima. Wie sie auf Katzen reagiert, wissen wir aktuell noch nicht, das können wir bei Bedarf aber sehr gerne vor Ort testen. Ein optisches Unikat mit Rätselfaktor Ihre Optik ist übrigens ein absolut gelungener Mix: Sieht sie aus wie ein kroatischer Schäferhund im Miniaturformat, gepaart mit dem frechen Charme eines Pekingesen? Gut möglich! Auf jeden Fall ist sie ein absolutes Unikat, das man einfach liebhaben muss. Wie Milenas Traum vom Glück aussieht Milena wünscht sich aktive Menschen, die Lust haben, einer jungen Hündin das Hundeeinmaleins beizubringen, mit ihr die Welt zu erkunden und ausgiebige Spaziergänge zu machen. Drei tolle Gassirunden am Tag, ausgelassenes Spielen und danach ganz viel Kuscheln auf dem Sofa – genau das würde diese kleine Zuckerpuppe überglücklich machen. Du hast dich genauso schockverliebt in Milenas einzigartigen Blick wie wir? Dann melde dich schnell bei uns! Milena sitzt auf gepackten Köfferchen und wartet nur darauf, dein Leben bunt zu machen. 🐶💌 .fusion-body .fusion-button Interesse an einer Adoption?

About Milena

What life with Milena looks like

Milena is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Nordic Strays e.V. in Germany.

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 Milena, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Milena?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Nordic Strays e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Milena on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Milena if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Nordic Strays 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 Milena 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 Milena 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 Nordic Strays e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Milena 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.
