Nani

Rottweiler · Female · Senior · 11 years

Nani came to us because she had lived in poor conditions. She was regularly neglected and left alone. It is therefore not surprising that she needs time to build trust. Once that trust has been won, she loves to cuddle on her own terms. Nani lived in a pack with 3 other dogs and likes dogs based on sympathy. However, it is also apparent that she can tend toward jealousy, so she wishes for a place of her own. Teenagers should be no problem for Nani. She is a watchful female dog and looks out well for her people. In the exercise yard she shows herself to be playful and loves to romp around there.

Nani kam zu uns, weil sie unter schlechten Verhältnissen gelebt hat. Sie wurde regelmäßig vernachlässigt und alleine gelassen. Daher ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass sie Zeit braucht um Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat man dieses gewonnen, kuschelt sie sehr gerne nach ihrem Ermessen. Nani hat im Rudel mit 3 anderen Hunden gelebt und mag Hunde nach Sympathie. Man merkt ihr aber auch an, dass sie zur Eifersucht neigen kann, daher wünscht sie sich einen Einzelplatz. Für Nani sollten Teenager kein Problem sein. Sie ist eine wachsame Hündin und passt gut auf ihre Menschen auf. Im Auslauf zeigt sie sich verspielt und tobt dort gerne herum.

About Nani

What life with Nani looks like

Nani is a large senior rottweiler dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nani, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nani?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Arche Noah handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nani on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nani if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Arche Noah 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Nani 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 Nani 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 Arche Noah early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nani 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.
