Nana

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

The small blonde female dog was abandoned. We have named her Nana and estimated her age to be 2 years. The energetic dog is very suspicious of strangers, runs away and uses snapping to create space. If she trusts someone, she wants to be close to her human and seeks security, preferably on their lap. She probably can't stay alone for long. She gets along with other dogs. She walks a bit clumsily on a leash and doesn't always follow commands. We are looking for an experienced, patient home, preferably with a first dog, without small children and a cat.

Die kleine blonde Hündin wurde ausgesetzt.Wir haben sie Nana getauft und auf 2 Jahre geschätzt. Die wuselige Hündin ist gegenüber fremden Menschen sehr misstrauisch, läuft weg und verschafft sich durch Schnappen Freiraum.Wenn sie jemandem vertraut, möchte sie nur in der Nähe ihres Menschens sein und sucht nach Sicherheit, am Liebsten auf dem Schoß. Lange alleine bleiben kann sie vermutlich nicht. Sie ist mit anderen Hunden verträglich. An der Leine läuft sie etwas unbeholfen, auch Kommandos möchte sie nicht immer befolgen.Wir suchen ein hundeerfahrenes, geduldiges Zuhause, gerne mit Ersthund, ohne Kleinkinder und Katze.

About Nana

What life with Nana looks like

Nana is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Heppenheim in Germany.

An young 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 Nana, answered.

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