How do I contact the shelter about Nanni?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nanni on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nanni if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 Nanni 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 Nanni 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 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nanni 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.

Adopt Nanni

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Still very reserved, Nanni is a small mixed-breed female dog who is currently still cautious around unfamiliar people. She observes new situations from a distance and needs time to build trust. In a quiet environment, she shows herself to be unobtrusive and reserved. For Nanni, consistent routines, patience, and a calm approach are important so she can orient herself and settle in. Towards her trusted people, Nanni is very trusting and cuddly. Compatibility with others: Dogs: compatible, she doesn't need another dog by her side to be happy. Cats: compatibility with others should be tested. Children: only suitable for quiet, understanding children who can respect the necessary distance. Wunschzuhause: For Nanni, a quiet, patient home is sought, ideally with people who have some experience with dogs or who are willing to take on a shy dog. A stress-free household without much commotion would be advantageous. Nanni needs people who give her time, build her trust, and don't have high expectations of her. A quiet environment and a safe retreat are important for her further development.

noch sehr zurückhaltend Nanni ist eine kleine Mischlingshündin, die fremden Menschen gegenüber derzeit noch vorsichtig ist. Sie beobachtet neue Situationen zunächst aus der Distanz und braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. In ruhiger Umgebung zeigt sie sich unauffällig und zurückhaltend. Für Nanni sind feste Abläufe, Geduld und ein ruhiger Umgang wichtig, damit sie sich orientieren und ankommen kann. Ihren Bezugspersonen gegenüber ist Nanni sehr zutraulich und verschmust. Verträglichkeit: Hunde: verträglich, sie braucht aber keinen weiteren Hund an ihrer Seite um glücklich zu sein Katzen: Verträglichkeit sollte getestet werden Kinder: nur für ruhige, verständige Kinder geeignet, die den nötigen Abstand respektieren können Wunschzuhause: Für Nanni wird ein ruhiges, geduldiges Zuhause gesucht, idealerweise bei Menschen mit etwas Hundeerfahrung oder der Bereitschaft, sich intensiv auf einen schüchternen Hund einzulassen. Ein stressarmer Haushalt ohne viel Trubel wäre von Vorteil. Nanni braucht Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben, Vertrauen zu fassen, und keine schnellen Erwartungen an sie stellen. Ein ruhiges Umfeld und ein sicherer Rückzugsort sind wichtig für ihre weitere Entwicklung.

About Nanni

What life with Nanni looks like

Nanni is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt in Essen.

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.
