Minchen

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Mienchen – a cheerful female dog looking for her forever home Mienchen originally comes from a public shelter in Romania, where she was on the euthanasia list. Fortunately, we were able to rescue her in time. She currently lives in a Romanian foster home, waiting there for her own family. Mienchen is an open, happy and people-oriented dog. She is friendly and sociable with familiar people, and she greets unfamiliar people openly as well. She makes no difference between adults and children. With other dogs she is social and uncomplicated. At her current foster home in Romania she lives without problems with several dogs. Mienchen meets cats with curiosity, with no signs of prey interest so far. Walking on the leash is currently being practiced with her. She notices new stimuli attentively and with interest, without being unsettled by them. Mienchen also allows physical examinations and grooming without any problems. With her rather moderate activity level, Mienchen is a pleasant companion for walks and outings together, but she also enjoys relaxed moments with her people. For Mienchen we wish for people who will give her a loving home and accompany her in her new everyday life with patience and clarity. Because of her open, friendly and adaptable nature, we can also picture her going well with committed first-time dog owners, provided they attend a competent dog training school from the start. After a positive preliminary check, Mienchen may move into her new home neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, deflead, and with an EU pet passport, for a protection fee of 495 euros.

Mienchen – lebensfrohe Hündin sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause Mienchen stammt ursprünglich aus einem öffentlichen Shelter in Rumänien, wo sie auf der Tötungsliste stand. Glücklicherweise konnten wir sie rechtzeitig sichern. Derzeit lebt sie auf einer rumänischen Pflegestelle und wartet dort auf ihre eigene Familie. Mienchen zeigt sich als offene, fröhliche und menschenbezogene Hündin. Vertrauten Menschen begegnet sie freundlich und sozial. Auch fremde Menschen begrüßt sie aufgeschlossen. Dabei macht sie keinen Unterschied zwischen Erwachsenen und Kindern. Im Umgang mit Artgenossen zeigt sie sich sozial und unkompliziert. Auf ihrer aktuellen Pflegestelle in Rumänien lebt sie problemlos mit mehreren Hunden zusammen. Katzen begegnet Mienchen neugierig, bislang ohne Anzeichen von jagdlichem Interesse. Das Laufen an der Leine wird derzeit mit ihr geübt. Neue Reize nimmt sie aufmerksam und interessiert wahr, ohne sich davon verunsichern zu lassen. Körperliche Untersuchungen sowie Pflegemaßnahmen lässt Mienchen ebenfalls problemlos zu. Mit ihrem eher moderaten Aktivitätslevel ist Mienchen eine angenehme Begleiterin für gemeinsame Spaziergänge und Unternehmungen, genießt aber ebenso entspannte Momente mit ihren Menschen. Für Mienchen wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihr ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken und sie mit Geduld und Klarheit in ihrem neuen Alltag begleiten. Aufgrund ihres offenen, freundlichen und anpassungsfähigen Wesens können wir sie uns auch gut bei engagierten Anfänger:innen vorstellen, vorausgesetzt, sie besuchen von Anfang an eine kompetente Hundeschule. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle darf Mienchen kastriert, geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, entfloht und mit EU-Heimtierausweis gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 495 Euro in ihr neues Zuhause ziehen.

About Minchen

What life with Minchen looks like

Minchen is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. in Germany.

A 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Minchen, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Minchen?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Minchen on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Minchen if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. whether they will for Minchen, what they require (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 Minchen already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. lists Minchen as vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Minchen isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Minchen 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.
