How do I contact the shelter about Nele?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. home4dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nele on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nele if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — home4dogs 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 Nele 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 Nele 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 home4dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nele 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 Nele

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

About 8.5 years old (born around July 2017: 42 cm, around 11 kg female, neutered not for cat residence) Nele is a very attached and loyal companion who loves the proximity to her people and often follows them throughout the house in everyday life. At home, she shows herself to be quiet and balanced, reliably alerts when there's a knock at the door, and enjoys relaxed hours in a familiar environment. She usually walks well on a leash and is pleasant to handle in everyday life. The leash handling can be improved with training, but with focused training, this will be well under control. During individual dog encounters, she can sometimes react unfriendly, which is why a mindful and sovereign handling is important. With targeted training, this will be well managed. For her age, she is still very active outdoors and enjoys movement and mental stimulation. She especially loves being in the water – swimming is one of her favorite activities. She is comfortable being left alone and masters this without problems. A home without cats is important for her – even though she doesn't have a pronounced prey drive, she doesn't get along with cats. She is socially compatible with other dogs and knows pack life, making her an adaptable companion. We wish for her a loving home with people who appreciate her attached nature and give her the necessary security and clear guidance in everyday life. Background Nele originally came from Poland and was adopted by a family as a puppy. Unfortunately, she can no longer stay with the owner there due to health reasons. Nele can be met by arrangement. So, please contact us quickly!

ca. 8,5 Jahre (geb. ca. Juli 2017 ca: 42 cm, ca. 11 kg weiblich, kastriert nicht zu Katzen Aufenthaltsort im KT ZH Liebevolle Hündin sucht neues Zuhause 🐾 Nele ist eine sehr anhängliche und treue Begleiterin, die die Nähe zu ihren Menschen liebt und ihnen im Alltag gerne durchs Haus folgt. Zuhause zeigt sie sich ruhig und ausgeglichen, meldet zuverlässig, wenn es an der Tür klingelt, und geniesst entspannte Stunden in vertrauter Umgebung. Sie läuft meistens gut an der Leine und ist im Alltag angenehm zu führen. Die Leinenführigkeit kann aber sicher mit Training noch verbessert werden, Bei einzelnen Hundebegegnungen kann sie manchmal etwas unfreundlich reagieren, weshalb hier ein aufmerksamer und souveräner Umgang wichtig ist. MIt gezieltem Training wird man das aber gut in den Griff bekommen. Für ihr Alter ist sie draussen noch sehr aktiv und freut sich über Bewegung und Beschäftigung. Besonders gerne ist sie im Wasser – Schwimmen ist eine ihrer Lieblingsbeschäftigungen. Das Alleinbleiben kennt sie und meistert dies problemlos. Ein Zuhause ohne Katzen ist wichtig für sie – auch wenn sie keinen ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb hat, versteht sie sich nicht mit Katzen. Sie ist sozialverträglich mit anderen Hunden und kennt das Leben im Rudel, was sie zu einer anpassungsfähigen Begleiterin macht. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein liebevolles Zuhause mit Menschen, die ihre anhängliche Art zu schätzen wissen und ihr die nötige Sicherheit und klare Führung im Alltag geben. Vorgeschichte Nele kommt ursprünglich aus Polen und wurde als Welpe von einer Familie adoptiert. Leider kann sie dort aber aus gesundheitlichen Gründen der Besitzerin nicht mehr bleiben. Nele darf gene nach Absprrache kennengelernt werden. Also schnell melden!

About Nele

What life with Nele looks like

Nele is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at home4dogs in Home4dogs.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
