Milow

Shih Tzu · Male · Senior · 10 years

Unser kleiner Shih Tzu Mix Milow kam als Abgabetier ins Tierheim.Er ist stubenrein, geht gut an der Leine und liebt seine Spaziergänge. Er trinkt aus jeder Pfütze, stellt sich gerne in den Matsch und tobt freudig über die Wiesen.Das Autofahren in einer Box klappt gut. Milow kann mehrere Stunden alleine bleiben und genießt die Ruhe. Ebenso liebt er aber auch die Anwesenheit und Streicheleinheiten von uns Menschen. Er versteht sich mit seinen Artgenossen und Katzen.Manchmal legt er einen Schalter um und schnappt. Häufig zeigt er dann seine Zähne, wenn ihm Füße zu nahe kommen oder er gemaßregelt wird. Er hat einen Dickkopf, den er hin und wieder zeigt. Wenn man Milow ein wenig kennt und seine Triggerpunkte versteht, kann man diesen Situationen gut vorbeugen.Er ist sehr lernwillig und leckerlifixiert, was sich positiv auf ein Training mit einem Hundetrainer auswirken wird.Milow braucht dringend Menschen, die ihn verstehen, ihn auslasten und ihm liebevoll und geduldig zeigen, wer der Chef im Haus ist. Im besten Fall mit der Unterstützung einer Hundeschule oder eines Trainers.Er ist wirklich ein liebenswertes und neugieriges Kerlchen, was ein tolles neues Zuhause verdient hat.Christin Trupp, © Christin TruppChristin Trupp, © Christin TruppChristin Trupp, © Christin Trupp

About Milow

What life with Milow looks like

Milow is a small senior shih tzu dog waiting at Tierheim Ransbach-Baumbach 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. 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 Milow, answered.

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