Neko

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Neko – an especially characterful and heartwarming dog. Originally from Spain, Neko was allowed to travel as a young puppy to Germany. Through a German foster family, he found his home in Southern Germany, where he has lived for over seven years. It is now heavy-hearted for his family to have to give him up, but due to significant family changes, they can no longer provide him with the care he needs. Therefore, Neko is searching once again for his perfect forever home. The handsome mixed-breed male is ten years old, weighs around 26 kg, and is in top physical condition. He is a cheerful, active companion who loves being outdoors. He enjoys long walks just as much as a moderate jog alongside a bicycle. While he still appreciates the quiet days, he has also grown to enjoy them. Neko travels easily by car, can be left alone, and walks calmly on a leash – a fully capable companion for everyday life. He particularly enjoys working closely with his human, especially when there’s a treat involved. Neko is very cuddly and enjoys closeness and attention, especially in his familiar surroundings. He brings a confident nature with him but can also show his sensitive, insecure side, especially when he can’t gauge a situation. Neko has lived with a female dog and is generally well-socialized with other dogs. He came neutered to Germany and can envision living in a multi-dog household. But even as a single dog, he would be happy with his favorite human. Neko is searching for a dog-experienced home without children. He needs clear routines and, most importantly, a retreat where he can feel safe. With Neko, a loyal, clever, and very attached companion will move in, who bonds closely with his human and finds joy in any shared activity. Neko is a heartwarming dog with character, depth, and a heart full of love. This is a young, adolescent dog.

DE·Show original

Neko – ein besonderer Hund mit Charakter und Herz Ursprünglich kommt Neko aus Spanien, von wo aus er als Junghund nach Deutschland reisen durfte. Über eine deutsche Gastfamilie fand er schließlich sein Zuhause in Süddeutschland, in dem er nun seit über sieben Jahren lebt. Umso schwerer fällt es seiner Familie, ihn nun abgeben zu müssen. Doch durch schwerwiegende familiäre Veränderungen kann die Familie ihm leider nicht mehr gerecht werden. Deshalb sucht Neko schweren Herzens noch einmal sein passendes Für-immer-Zuhause. Der hübsche Mischlingsrüde ist 10 Jahre alt, wiegt etwa 26 kg und ist gesundheitlich topfit. Er ist ein fröhlicher, aktiver Begleiter, der gerne draußen unterwegs ist. Ausgedehnte Spaziergänge liebt er genauso wie das moderate Mitlaufen am Fahrrad. Gleichwohl schätzt er mittlerweile auch die ruhigen Tage. Neko fährt problemlos Auto, kann alleine bleiben und läuft entspannt an der Leine – ein rundum alltagstauglicher Hund. Besonders gerne arbeitet er mit seinem Menschen zusammen, vor allem wenn ein Motivationsleckerchen im Spiel ist. Neko ist sehr verschmust und genießt Nähe und Aufmerksamkeit, vor allem in seinem vertrauten Umfeld. Er bringt ein selbstbewusstes Wesen mit, zeigt aber mitunter auch seine sensible, unsichere Seite, vor allem, wenn er Situationen nicht einschätzen kann. Neko lebt bislang mit einer Hündin zusammen und ist grundsätzlich auch mit anderen Hunden gut sozialisiert. Er kam bereits kastriert nach Deutschland und kann sich gut vorstellen, in einem Mehr-Hunde-Haushalt zu leben. Aber auch als Einzelhund wäre er bei seinem Lieblingsmenschen glücklich. Neko sucht ein hundeerfahrenes Zuhause ohne Kinder. Er braucht klare Abläufe und vor allem einen Rückzugsort, an dem er sich sicher fühlen kann. Mit Neko zieht ein loyaler, kluger und sehr anhänglicher Begleiter ein, der sich eng an seinen Menschen bindet und viel Freude an jeglicher gemeinsamer Aktivität hat. Neko ist ein Herzenshund mit Charakter, Tiefe und einem Herzen voller Liebe.

About Neko

What life with Neko looks like

Neko is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Neko, answered.

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