Nanouk

Mixed Breed · Female

Nanouk – female, neutered Born: approx. 2023 Size: approx. 45–50 cm, 12–13 kg Location: Romania Departure: anytime Sponsorship: partial sponsorship taken over by Sabine N. 💔 She watches people as they walk past – but she doesn't yet have the courage to approach them. Nanouk is one of those dogs that are easy to overlook. Not because she isn't beautiful, but because she prefers to stay in the background. When we had the chance to get to know her, she was very shy around people. She observed everything from a safe distance and didn't yet dare to make contact with us. You can sense that she would like to – but her insecurity is simply still greater at the moment. ❤️ With other dogs, on the other hand, she is completely uncomplicated. She lives harmoniously in a pack, is absolutely good-natured, and takes her cues from her fellow dogs. 🐕🍀 A confident first dog could therefore help ease her start into a new life and give her a sense of security. We don't know what Nanouk has experienced. But we do know that she now needs people who expect nothing from her. People who give her their time. Who let trust grow rather than demanding it. Because it is exactly dogs like this who often surprise their families with the greatest progress somewhere along the way. 🥹❤️ Of course, she will also first have to get to know life as a family dog. House-training, walks, leash walking, and all the little everyday things will be new to her. But she can learn all of this – once someone finally gives her the chance. We wish for Nanouk a calm home with patient people who show her that she never has to be afraid again. Because behind her shy exterior, a female dog is waiting to finally be allowed to trust. ❤️🏡 Who will give this quiet soul the time she so urgently needs? 🐾

Nanoukweiblich / kastriertGeb. : ca. 2023Größe: ca. 45–50cm, 12–13kgAufenthaltsort: RumänienAusreise: jederzeitPatenschaft: Teilpatenschaft übernommen von Sabine N. 💔 Sie schaut den Menschen hinterher – doch der Mut reicht noch nicht, auf sie zuzugehen. Nanouk gehört zu den Hunden, die man leicht übersieht. Nicht, weil sie nicht wunderschön ist. Sondern weil sie sich lieber im Hintergrund hält. Als wir sie kennenlernen durften, zeigte sie sich Menschen gegenüber sehr schüchtern. Sie beobachtete alles aus sicherer Entfernung und traute sich noch nicht, Kontakt zu uns aufzunehmen. Man spürt, dass sie gerne würde – doch ihre Unsicherheit ist im Moment einfach noch größer. ❤️Mit den anderen Hunden ist sie dagegen völlig unkompliziert. Sie lebt harmonisch im Rudel, ist absolut verträglich und orientiert sich an ihren Artgenossen. 🐕🍀Ein souveräner Ersthund könnte ihr deshalb den Start in ein neues Leben erleichtern und ihr Sicherheit geben. Wir wissen nicht, was Nanouk erlebt hat. Aber wir wissen, dass sie jetzt Menschen braucht, die nichts von ihr erwarten. Menschen, die ihr Zeit schenken. Die Vertrauen wachsen lassen, statt es einzufordern. Denn genau solche Hunde überraschen ihre Familien oft irgendwann mit den größten Fortschritten. 🥹❤️Natürlich muss sie auch das Leben als Familienhund erst kennenlernen. Stubenreinheit, Spaziergänge, Leine laufen und all die kleinen Dinge des Alltags werden für sie neu sein. Doch all das kann sie lernen – wenn ihr endlich jemand die Chance dazu gibt. Wir wünschen uns für Nanouk ein ruhiges Zuhause mit geduldigen Menschen, die ihr zeigen, dass sie nie wieder Angst haben muss. Denn hinter ihrer schüchternen Fassade wartet eine Hündin darauf, endlich Vertrauen fassen zu dürfen. ❤️🏡Wer schenkt dieser stillen Seele die Zeit, die sie so dringend braucht? 🐾

About Nanouk

What life with Nanouk looks like

Nanouk is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dog Rescue Stuttgart in Germany.

An 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nanouk, answered.

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