Nando

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Nando lives on a foster home in Patras / Greece VIDEOS AVAILABLE !!! Rüde geb. ca. May 2025, size: ca. 61 cm (as of February 2026) Nando was found in the middle of the city of Patras together with his sister Nova. The puppies were running aimlessly after every person and were just barely secured before something worse could happen. A local animal welfare worker, where our Ronny also lives, has housed them on his farm. There, they live with many other dogs and cats and are already learning a lot for their future lives. Both are cheerful, cuddly, and still very playful. Starting from early October, their vaccination protection will be complete, so they can then travel. Like all puppies, they still need a lot of attention and affectionate, but consistent upbringing. Since their parents are not known, we cannot make reliable statements about their adult size or breed. They are likely to grow into larger dogs and may carry herding dog genes. Dog-experienced people are sought who are aware of the special needs of these dogs and ideally already know the breed. Each puppy is vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped, and also comes with an EU pet passport.

Nando lebt auf einer Pflegestelle in Patras / GriechenlandVIDEOS VORHANDEN !!! Rüdegeb. ca. Mai 2025 Grösse : ca. 61 cm (Stand Februar 2026) Nando ist zusammen mit seiner Schwester Nova mitten in der Stadt Patras gefunden worden. Die Welpen liefen ziellos jedem Menschen nach und konnten gerade noch gesichert werden, bevor Schlimmeres passierte. Ein örtlicher Tierschützer, bei dem auch unser Ronny lebt, hat sie auf seinem Hof untergebracht. Dort leben sie mit vielen anderen Hunden und Katzen zusammen und lernen schon Einiges für ihr späteres Leben kennen. Beide sind fröhlich, verschmust und welpentypisch noch verspielt. Ab Anfang Oktober ist ihr Impfschutz vollständig, so dass sie dann ausreisen dürfen. Wie alle Welpen benötigen sie noch viel Aufmerksamkeit und liebevolle, jedoch konsequente Erziehung. Da ihre Eltern nicht bekannt sind, können wir weder zur ausgewachsenen Größe noch zu eventuellen Rassen verlässliche Angaben machen. Wahrscheinlich werden sie zu größeren Hunden heranwachsen und tragen möglicherweise Herdenschutzgene in sich. Hier sind hundeerfahrene Menschen gefragt, die sich den Besonderheiten dieser Hunde bewusst sind und im besten Fall die Rasse bereits kennen. Jeder Welpe ist geimpft, entwurmt und gechipt, bringt außerdem einen eigenen EU-Heimtierausweis mit.

About Nando

What life with Nando looks like

Nando is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde Patras e.V. in Ratingen.

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 Nando, answered.

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