Milka

Brittany Spaniel · Male · Adult · 7 years

Story: Milka lived in very poor conditions with a hunter who kept several dogs but did not look after them. Milka and two other dogs were seized by the veterinary authority and moved to our partner animal shelter APAC in Portugal. Now we are looking for a new home for all three of them. Behavior: Despite his certainly not pleasant past, Milka is a very friendly male dog who approaches people openly and greatly enjoys being close to them. He is overjoyed when someone at the shelter takes the time to spend with him. Walks, running across the meadows, but also cuddling, playing and being petted are all things Milka loves. Outside, he is curious and likes to explore his surroundings. He has no problems with other dogs and gets along well with everyone so far. Needs: For Milka we wish for a loving home where he can arrive calmly and settle in. With people who like to show him the good things in life and patiently teach him everything a dog should know in Germany. His new home should preferably be in a rural location and have a secured garden. Any children in the household should already be older. Milka would certainly have nothing against a confident first dog in the home.

Geschichte: Milka lebte unter sehr schlechten Bedinungen bei einem Jäger, der mehrere Hunde hielt, sich aber nicht um sie kümmerte. Milka und zwei weitere Hunde wurden vom Veterinäramt beschlagnahmt und sie zogen in unser Partnertierheim APAC in Portugal. Nun suchen wir für alle drei ein neues Zuhause. Verhalten: Milka ist trotz seiner sicher nicht schönen Vergangenheit ein sehr freundlicher Rüde, der offen auf Menschen zu geht und die Nähe sehr genießt. Er freut sich riesig, wenn im Tierheim jemand die Zeit findet und sich mit ihm beschäftigt. Spazieren gehen, über die Wiesen rennen, aber auch kuscheln, spielen und Streicheleinheiten findet Milka ganz toll. Draußen zeigt er sich neugierig und erkundet gerne die Umgebung. Mit anderen Hunden hat er keine Probleme und versteht sich bisher mit allen gut. Bedürfnisse: Für Milka wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er in Ruhe ankommen und sich einleben kann. Mit Menschen, die ihm gerne die schönen Seiten des Lebens zeigen und ihm geduldig alles beibringen, was er als Hund in Deutschland kennen sollte. Sein neues Zuhause sollte eher ländlich gelegen sein und über einen gesicherten Garten verfügen. Vorhandene Kinder im Haushalt sollten bereits älter sein. Gegen einen souveränen Ersthund hätte Milka sicher nichts einzuwenden.

About Milka

What life with Milka looks like

Milka is a medium-sized adult brittany spaniel dog waiting at Tiersinfonie Anou e.V. in Germany.

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 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 Milka, answered.

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