Adopt Frau Nielson

Female · Senior · 10 years

You are completely smitten with these two Minnis, right? We can understand, even in our team, everyone is completely captivated. Mr. Nielsen (10 years) and his mother Frau Nielson (11 years) found their way to us because the owner passed away. Of course, everything is still a bit exciting for the two of them, but they quickly form a friendship and then let their charm shine. Both are very cuddly and would love to have a lot of human interaction. They enjoy cuddle times just as much as fun walks, but are grateful if the walks do not take place in the busiest city traffic. With just 2.5 kilograms per dog, they are also a lightweight duo in a double pack... because for us, it is clear: these two must stay together. They lie and cuddle together... they are very attuned to each other and have spent their entire lives together. Now we are searching for a place where mother and son can share, and small children should not live in the home.

Ihr seid ganz verzückt von diesen beiden Minnis ? Das können wir verstehen, auch bei uns im Team sind alle ganz hin und weg. Herr Nielson (10 Jahre) und seine Mama Frau Nielson (11Jahre) haben den Weg zu uns gefunden, weil die Halterin verstarb.Natürlich ist gerade noch alles etwas aufregend für die beiden, sie schließen jedoch schnell Freundschaft und lassen dann ihren Charme spielen. Beide sind sehr verschmust und möchten am liebsten ganz viel Mensch haben. Sie genießen Kuschelzeiten ebenso wie lustige Spaziergänge, sind aber dankbar, wenn die Gassirunden nicht im dollsten Stadtverkehr stattfinden.Mit gerade einmal 2,5 Kilo pro Hund sind sie auch im Doppelpack ein Leichtgewicht .... denn für uns ist ganz klar: diese zwei müssen zusammen bleiben. Sie liegen und kuscheln zusammen ... orientieren sich sehr aneinander, haben außerdem ihr gesamtes Leben miteinander verbracht. Nun suchen wir einen Platz, den Mutti und Sohn gemeinsam beziehen dürfen, kleine Kinder sollten nicht im Zuhause leben. Wenn Sie Herrn Nielson und Frau Nielson kennenlernen möchten, kommen Sie während der

About Frau Nielson

What life with Frau Nielson looks like

Frau Nielson is a senior dog waiting at Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Frau Nielson, answered.

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