Mira

Mixed Breed · Female

Mira was one of five siblings who lived on a farm. Two of them were stolen by strangers, and two died. Since the chances of survival for the remaining Mira were not very good, our animal rights activist Maria took her in and placed her in a private foster home. From there she came to our foster home in Bocholt about 4 weeks ago. Mira shows uncertainties due to her difficult fate (loss of siblings and separation from her mother), reacts to situations she cannot assess with growling and showing teeth, but does not use them. She is learning to trust people and is opening up increasingly. Mira loves water and wants people who also like this element to spend a lot of time at lakes or rivers. She already walks very well on a leash; she still needs to work on being house-trained. She is a charming little dog who charms everyone around her. Please note: The feedback from animal shelters and foster homes reflects the current behavior of the dogs here.

Beschreibung Unsere Pflegestelle berichtet: Mira war eine von 5 Geschwistern, die auf einem Hof gelebt haben. Zwei von ihnen wurden von Fremden gestohlen, und zwei sind gestorben. Da die Überlebenschancen für die übrig gebliebene Mira nicht sonderlich gut waren, hat sich unsere Tierschützerin Maria ihr angenommen und sie in einer privaten Pflegestelle untergebracht. Von dort ist sie vor ca. 4 Wochen in unsere Pflegestelle nach Bocholt gekommen. Mira zeigt bedingt durch ihre schweren Schicksalsschläge (Verlust der Geschwister und Trennung von der Mutter) noch Unsicherheiten, reagiert auf für sie nicht einschätzbare Situationen mit Knurren und Zähne zeigen, setzt diese aber nicht ein. Sie lernt, Menschen zu vertrauen und öffnet sich zunehmend. Mira liebt Wasser und wünscht sich Menschen, die dieses Element ebenfalls mögen, um viel Zeit an Seen oder Flüssen zu verbringen. Sie läuft bereits sehr gut an der Leine; an der Stubenreinheit muss noch gearbeitet werden. Sie ist eine reizende kleine Hündin, die mit ihrem Charme jeden um ihre Pfoten wickelt.

About Mira

What life with Mira looks like

Mira is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

An 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 Mira, answered.

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