Adopt Mira

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Due to inadequate housing conditions in an official seizure, the female dog Mira came into our care. Mira shows insecurity in some situations but warms up quickly. When she knows someone, the female dog is cooperative, very nice, and approachable. During walks, she pulls on the leash, and she is accustomed to wearing a muzzle. Mira should not be rehomed with children or other animals. She needs confident people with experience and knowledge who are physically capable of handling her and can attend dog training classes with her. Since Mira is considered one of the so-called list dogs, the requirements of the respective state dog law must be met. Shelter account: Tierschutz der Tat e.V.

Aus einer behördlichen Sicherstellung wegen unzulänglicher Haltungsbedingungen kam die Hündin Mira in unsere Obhut. Mira zeigt sich in manchen Situationen unsicher, taut aber schnell auf. Wenn sie jemanden kennt, ist die Hündin kooperativ, sehr nett und zugänglich. Beim Spazierengehen pöbelt sie an der Leine, an das Tragen eines Maulkorbs ist sie gewöhnt. Mira soll nicht zu Kindern oder anderen Tieren vermittelt werden. Sie braucht souveräne Menschen mit Erfahrung und Sachkunde, die ihr nicht nur mental, sondern auch körperlich gewachsen sind und mit ihr eine gute Hundeschule besuchen. Weil Mira zu den sogenannten Listenhunden zählt, müssen die Auflagen des jeweiligen Landeshundegesetzes erfüllt werden. Tierheimkonto: Tierschutz der Tat e.V.

About Mira

What life with Mira looks like

Mira is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Detmold in Detmold.

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.

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. Tierheim Detmold 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 — Tierheim Detmold 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 Tierheim Detmold 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.
