Milo

Pomeranian · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Milo was rescued from an illegal mass breeding operation near Almeria by Marcos. The man who bred them has a total of 18 handmaids, whom he mates twice a year. He now wants to get rid of five of his female dog, which he couldn't sell as puppies, and they have been languishing in a cage there for many months without anyone really caring for them. Marcos learned about it from a friend of his who last year had already rescued two old handmaids from there. What "get rid of" means.

Milo wurde in der N�he von Almeria von Marcos aus einer illegalen Massenzucht herausgeholt. Der Mann, der sie z�chtete hat insgesamt 18 H�ndinnen, die er zwei Mal im Jahr decken l�sst. Er wollte nun f�nf seiner R�den loswerden, die er als Welpen nicht verkaufen konnte und die nun dort seit vielen Monaten in einem Zwinger vor sich her vegetierten ohne dass sich jemand wirklich um sie k�mmerte. Marcos hatte von einer Tierschutzfreundin davon erfahren, die letztes Jahr bereits zwei alte H�ndinnen dort gerettet hatte. Was "loswerden" hier bedeutet - dar�ber wollten wir gar nicht erst lange nachden

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a young adult pomeranian dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Santorini e.V. in Mainz.

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 Milo, answered.

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