Adopt Milka B

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

- waits at the animal shelter in Hungary - 💜 Milka – Gentle Giant with a Heartrending Past 💜Milka was born on 01.08.2017, is about 58 cm tall, neutered, and weighs around 35 kg. Milka's story goes to the heart. The first five years of his life he had to endure neglect and cruelty. In 2021, he was discovered after an anonymous report, chained in the garden of a house. His chain had already grown deeply into his skin and had to be surgically removed. The physical wounds have healed, but the emotional scars remain. Despite everything, Milka has stayed a friendly, gentle, and very sensitive dog. He gets along well with other dogs and currently lives with a large Female Dog with whom he forms a calm, harmonious community. With people, he is initially cautious but increasingly open and trusting. He needs a quiet and stable home with people who let him approach at his own pace and greet him with patience, love, and understanding. A heartworm test from 12.09.2023 is negative. However, a Caniv-4D test will still be performed before his travel arrangements. For Milka, we are looking for a loving home with a garden where he can rest. Children aged 12 and above are fine as long as they treat him respectfully and do not overwhelm him. At the animal shelter, Milka shows no interest in Cats. Milka is no victim but a Fighter with a very gentle and loving nature. Whoever gives him a chance wins a loyal companion for life. Where are his people who will finally give him a home? Can he still leave the animal shelter and find his place?

- wartet im Tierheim in Ungarn - 💜 Milka – Sanfter Riese mit bewegender Vergangenheit 💜Milka wurde am 01.08.2017 geboren, ist etwa 58 cm groß, kastriert und wiegt rund 35 kg.Milkas Geschichte geht unter die Haut. Die ersten fünf Jahre seines Lebens musste er Vernachlässigung und Grausamkeit ertragen. Im Jahr 2021 wurde er nach einer anonymen Meldung entdeckt, angekettet im Garten eines Hauses. Seine Kette war bereits tief in die Haut eingewachsen und musste operativ entfernt werden. Die körperlichen Wunden sind verheilt, doch die seelischen Narben sind noch vorhanden.Trotz allem ist Milka ein freundlicher, sanfter und sehr sensibler Hund geblieben. Er versteht sich gut mit anderen Hunden und lebt aktuell mit einer großen Hündin zusammen, mit der er sich sehr gut versteht und eine ruhige, harmonische Gemeinschaft bildet.Menschen gegenüber zeigt er sich zunächst vorsichtig, aber zunehmend offen und vertrauensvoll. Er braucht ein ruhiges und stabiles Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihn in seinem eigenen Tempo ankommen lassen und ihm mit Geduld, Liebe und Verständnis begegnen.Ein Herzwurmtest vom 12.09.2023 ist negativ. Vor seiner Ausreise wird jedoch noch ein Caniv-4D-Test durchgeführt.Für Milka suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause mit Garten, in dem er zur Ruhe kommen kann. Kinder ab 12 Jahren sind kein Problem, solange sie respektvoll mit ihm umgehen und ihn nicht überfordern.An Katzen zeigt Milka im Tierheim kein Interesse.Milka ist kein Opfer, sondern ein Kämpfer mit einem sehr sanften und liebevollen Wesen. Wer ihm eine Chance gibt, gewinnt einen treuen Begleiter fürs Leben. Wo sind seine Menschen, die ihm endlich ein Zuhause schenken? Schafft er es noch, das Tierheim zu verlassen und anzukommen?

About Milka B

What life with Milka B looks like

Milka B is a extra-large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. in Nordwalde.

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. 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 Milka B, answered.

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