Nele (w)

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Nele, a small puppy mouse, is lost... but still full of hope. Just about 4 months old, (will grow to medium size) - and life has already shown her its harsh side. She just got lucky... at the wrong time in the wrong place. The dog catchers discovered her, collected her - and like so many others, simply dropped her off at the public animal shelter in Botosani, Romania. Without a second chance. Since then, she has been living there. Among about 800 other dogs. Among countless puppies, all fighting for survival. Every day it's about getting enough food, fighting against heat, thunderstorms and storms, not getting infections - not disappearing... A small body in a much too big, much too rough world. And yet... she has kept her puppy-typical heart. She is curious, gentle and full of hope - ready to discover life if someone only gives her the chance. What you need to know: She is still too young to say what character she will develop. She is just at the beginning of her life - her personality will only form over time. This means you should be willing to get involved and accompany her lovingly. The little mouse is ready to travel soon and is just waiting to be seen... really seen. We wish the little mouse a loving home People who know that a puppy means work, patience, time - but also a life full of love. Very important: Please don't adopt a dog out of pure pity. A dog is a decision for many years - 10, 15 years or more. She needs you as a reliable partner by her side. We would be happy to have an in-depth conversation with you beforehand to see if it really fits - honest, open and in the best interest of the dog.

Klein, verloren… und trotzdem voller Hoffnung Das ist die kleine Welpenmaus NELE… Gerade einmal ca. 4 Monate alt, (wird vermittlich mittelgroß) – und schon hat das Leben ihr seine harte Seite gezeigt. Sie hatte einfach nur Pech… Zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort. Die Hundefänger haben sie entdeckt, eingesammelt – und wie so viele andere einfach im öffentlichen Tierheim von Botosani (Rumänien) abgegeben. Ohne zweite Chance. Seitdem lebt sie dort. Zwischen rund 800 anderen Hunden. Zwischen unzähligen Welpen, die alle ums Überleben kämpfen. Jeden Tag geht es darum, überhaupt genug Futter zu bekommen, kampf gegen Hitze, Gewitter und Stürme, sich keine Infektionen zu holen – nicht unterzugehen… Ein kleiner Körper in einer viel zu großen, viel zu rauen Welt. Und trotzdem… sie hat sich ihr welpentypisches Herz bewahrt. Sie ist neugierig, sanft und voller Hoffnung – bereit, das Leben zu entdecken, wenn ihr nur jemand die Chance dazu gibt. Was man dabei wissen muss: Sie ist noch viel zu jung, um sagen zu können, welchen Charakter sie einmal entwickeln wird. Sie steht ganz am Anfang ihres Lebens – ihre Persönlichkeit wird sich erst mit der Zeit formen. Das bedeutet, man sollte bereit sein, sich auf alles einzulassen und sie liebevoll zu begleiten. Die kleine Maus ist bald ausreisebereit und wartet nur darauf, endlich gesehen zu werden… wirklich gesehen. Wir wünschen uns für die kleine Maus ein liebevolles Zuhause Menschen, die wissen, dass ein Welpe Arbeit bedeutet, Geduld, Zeit – aber auch ein Leben voller Liebe schenkt. Ganz wichtig: Bitte adoptiert keinen Hund aus reinem Mitleid. Ein Hund ist eine Entscheidung für viele Jahre – 10, 15 Jahre oder länger. Sie braucht Euch als verlässlichen Partner an ihrer Seite. Gerne führen wir vorab ein ausführliches Gespräch mit Euch, um gemeinsam zu schauen, ob es wirklich passt – ehrlich, offen und im Sinne des Hundes.

About Nele (w)

What life with Nele (w) looks like

Nele (w) is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. in Nürnberg.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Nele (w), answered.

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