check connection with your city
Mira shares with you the pictures of dogs, so you can distribute them in your channels. You deal with the adoption administration work on your side, as usual.
All dogs put for adoption have been checked by a vet. Their blood was analyzed in Germany to meet EU standards.
If enough families want to adopt a dog, Mira arranges transport to a particular city with a transporter.
You and adopters will meet the transporter at the airport. The transporter will hand you over the dogs, their dog passports, vaccination papers and flight documents.
Mira collaborates with shelters overseas to arrange adoptions for her dogs, but she receives more dogs than she sends. Please join her in the efforts to rescue as many dogs as possible.
