Mina

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Mina was found as a young female dog injured in a roadside ditch and taken to the vet. Unfortunately, the fracture was very complicated and it was initially unclear whether Mina would even be able to keep the leg. In an operation, bone tissue was transplanted from the tail, so the tail is now also somewhat shorter. Mina is doing fine these days. She has recovered well from all the operations and everything has healed well so far. However, what has unfortunately remained is that the right hind leg is now shorter, and of course we cannot predict how the uneven load from the misalignment will affect her hips in the long term. Mina will therefore not be a sports dog, so unsuitable for long hikes and agility etc. But Mina is also perfectly happy just being part of things. She likes to relax on her chair and watch what's going on around her. Sometimes she plays joyfully with her friend Emmi, who is a bit younger. Both live in a group with two older dogs in the yard in front of the shelter with access to the front hallway: Buck and Gracie. Mina gets along very well with other dogs, and we would be very happy if we could find Mina a quiet, ground-floor home with access to a garden as a second or third dog.

DE·Show original

Mina wurde als junge Hündin verletzt im Straßengraben gefunden und zum Tierarzt gebracht. Leider war der Bruch sehr kompliziert und zunächst war auch unklar ob Mina das Bein überhaupt behalten konnte. In einer Operation wurde Knochengewebe aus der Rute transplantiert, daher ist diese nun auch etwas kürzer. Mittlerweile geht es Mina prima. Sie hat sich von all den Operationen gut erholt und es ist soweit auch alles gut verheilt. Was jedoch leider zurück geblieben ist, dass das rechte Hinterbein nun kürzer ist und wir natürlich nicht vorhersagen können wie sich die Fehlbelastung der Schiefstellung dauerhaft auf ihre Hüfte beidseits auswirken wird. Mina wird daher keine Sportskanone sein, also ungeeignet für lange Wanderungen und Agility etc. Aber Mina ist auch ganz zufrieden damit, einfach dabei sein zu dürfen. Sie liegt gerne entspannt auf ihrem Sessel und beobachtet das Geschehen um sie herum. Zwischendurch spielt sie auch ausgelassen mit ihrer Freundin Emmi, die etwas jünger ist. Beide leben in reiner Gruppe mit 2 älteren Hunden im Auslauf vor dem Shelter mit Zugang zum vorderen Flur: Buck und Gracie. Mit Hunden kommt Mina also supergut zurecht und wir würden uns sehr freuen wenn wir für Mina ein ruhiges, ebenerdiges Zuhause mit Zugang zu einem Garten als Zweit- oder Dritthund finden würden.

About Mina

What life with Mina looks like

Mina is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Friends for Life Germany e.V. in Hemer.

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 Mina, answered.

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