How do I contact the shelter about Minka?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Minka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Minka if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 Minka 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 Minka 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 Franz von Assisi e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Minka 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.

Minka

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Minka – small female puppy with a gentle heart → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: female → Born: 07/2022 → Size / Weight: 39 cm / 13 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Chip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: N/A → Sponsorships possible: yes Description: Minka is a small, delicate female puppy whose quiet and cautious nature makes you want to protect her. She is a dog who needs time to get used to new people and environments, but when she feels safe, she shows her true personality. With her gentle demeanor and cautious behavior, she wins the hearts of everyone who meets her. She does not like being in the spotlight; instead, she prefers to observe and wait before deciding to become active. Despite her caution, she is a dog with a big heart and deep love for her people. Therefore, Minka needs a consistent and routine daily life. She still has to learn things like basic dog training. She will not learn everything overnight, so patience is of utmost importance for her. Once she settles in, we believe she will develop wonderfully! We are looking for an empathetic and sensitive family for Minka who will not demand too much from her initially and will show her that they mean well with her. {youtube} Note:

Minka – kleines Hundemädchen mit einem sanften Herzen → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: weiblich→ Geboren: 07/2022 → Grösse / Gewicht: 39 cm / 13 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung Minka ist ein kleines, zartes Hundemädchen, das man mit ihrer ruhigen und vorsichtigen Art einfach beschützen möchte. Sie ist ein Hund, der Zeit braucht, um sich an neue Menschen und Umgebungen zu gewöhnen, aber wenn sie sich sicher fühlt, zeigt sie ihre wahre Persönlichkeit. Mit ihrer sanften Art und ihrem vorsichtigen Verhalten gewinnt sie die Herzen aller, die sie kennenlernen. Sie steht nicht gerne im Mittelpunkt, sondern beobachtet lieber und wartet ab, bevor sie sich entscheidet, aktiv zu werden. Trotz ihrer Vorsicht ist sie ein Hund mit einem großen Herzen und einer tiefen Liebe zu ihren Menschen. Minka braucht also einen beständigen und routinierten Alltag. Sie muss Dinge wie das Hunde-Einmaleins erst noch lernen. Sie wird auch nicht alles von heute auf morgen lernen können, daher hat Geduld oberste Priorität bei ihr. Ist sie einmal angekommen, so glauben wir, wird sie sich sicher toll entwickeln! Wir suchen für Minka eine emphatische und einfühlsame Familie, die ihr erst mal nichts abverlangt und ihr zeigt, dass sie es gut mit ihr meint. {youtube} Hinweis:Dieses Tier befindet sich noch im Ausland und sucht einen Pflege- oder

About Minka

What life with Minka looks like

Minka is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
