How do I contact the shelter about Nanook?

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

Can I adopt Nanook if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelen für Seelchen 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 Nanook 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 Nanook 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 Seelen für Seelchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nanook 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.

Nanook

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Age: Born around July 2021 Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Character: friendly, very curious, cuddly, compatible with fellow animals Size: approx. 40-45 cm In shelter since: September 2021 Siblings: sisters Judie, Paloma, brothers Felix, Maxi, Teddy Hello dear people! I am part of a friendly sibling group, consisting of 4 boys and 2 girls. We arrived at the shelter in the fall of 2021, when we were still puppies. Unfortunately, we had a sad start to our lives, as we were abandoned and left alone at the age of just over 2 months without a mother, food, or water. Without outside help, we likely would not have survived. However, fortunately, kind people brought us to this shelter and have taken good care of us since then. So we were able to grow up in a safe environment. Now, however, we have grown up and are ready to go our own ways and explore the big, wide world. My two sisters have already made the first steps and found permanent families in Germany. Now I also wish for my own home – with people who are eager to discover the beautiful sides of life with me. I am a very friendly guy, get along well with other dogs, and also quickly bond with visitors at the shelter. Then I show my cuddly side and enjoy every pat. As I have only known life in the shelter so far, much will be new for me – but with a little patience and loving company, I will surely settle in quickly and become a faithful friend for life. Now I look forward to the future and hope that I can pack my bag soon! If you are interested in Nanook, please fill out our interested parties form () or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Nanook is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months of age, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis. Family Kl. has taken on the sponsorship for Nanook and thus ensures a full food bowl. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!. Gets along with other dogs.

Steckbrief Alter: ca. Juli 2021 geboren Geschlecht: männlich Kastriert: ja Charakter: freundlich, sehr neugierig, verschmust, verträglich mit Artgenossen Größe: ca. 40-45 cm Im Shelter seit: September 2021 Verwandte: Geschwister Judie, Paloma, Felix, Maxi, Teddy Hallo ihr lieben Menschen! Ich bin Teil einer freundlichen Geschwistertruppe, bestehend aus 4 Jungs und 2 Mädels. Angekommen sind wir hier im Shelter im Herbst 2021, da waren wir noch Welpen. Leider hatten wir einen traurigen Start in unser Leben, denn wir wurden im Alter von gerade mal 2 Monaten ausgesetzt und alleine zurückgelassen. Ohne Mama, ohne Futter, ohne Wasser. Vermutlich hätten wir ohne fremde Hilfe nicht überlebt. Doch glücklicherweise meinte es das Schicksal gut mit uns, denn tierliebe Menschen haben uns in dieses Shelter gebracht und sich seither gut um uns gekümmert. So durften wir in einer sicheren Umgebung heranwachsen. Nun aber sind wir erwachsen geworden und auch bereit, unsere eigenen Wege zu gehen und die große, weite Welt zu entdecken. Meine beiden Schwestern haben bereits den Anfang gemacht und ihre Familien fürs Leben in Deutschland gefunden. Jetzt wünsche ich mir auch mein eigenes Zuhause – bei Menschen, die Lust haben, mit mir die schönen Seiten des Lebens zu entdecken. Ich bin ein sehr freundlicher Kerl, vertrage mich prima mit anderen Hunden und taue auch bei fremden Besuchern im Shelter sehr schnell auf. Dann zeige ich mich verschmust und genieße jede Streicheleinheit. Da ich bisher nur das Leben im Shelter kenne, wird sicher vieles neu für mich sein – doch mit etwas Geduld und liebevoller Begleitung werde ich mich bestimmt schnell einleben und euch ein treuer Freund fürs Leben werden. Nun blicke ich erwartungsvoll in die Zukunft und hoffe, dass ich bald, sehr bald, mein Köfferchen packen darf! Wenn Sie Interesse an Nanook haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Nanook ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Familie Kl. hat die Patenschaft für Nanook übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Nanook

What life with Nanook looks like

Nanook is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

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.
