Nello

German Shepherd · Male · Young · 1 year

Our Nello came in after a couple had supposedly found him; our feeling was that he was their own dog. Nello is a beautiful, large and strong shepherd. Very people-oriented and very eager to learn, observant, alert. He is good with other dogs, though, and that is getting better all the time here with us. He is a true shepherd and would therefore be well suited to people who know and love this breed. Who will give this tough fellow a wonderful life?

NL·Show original

Onze Nello kwam binnen nadat een echtpaar hem zogezegd gevonden had, ons gevoel was dat het hun eigen hond was. Nello is een prachtige grote en sterke herder. Heel erg mensgericht en heel erg leergierig, opmerkzaam, waakzaam. Hij is wel goed met andere honden, dat gaat steeds beter bij ons. Hij is een echte herder en zou dus best terecht komen met mensen die dit ras kennen en lief hebben. Wie geeft deze stoere bink een heerlijk leven ?

About Nello

What life with Nello looks like

Nello is a young adult german shepherd dog waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) in Spain.

A young 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 Spain

Spanish protectoras often include sterilization, vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport in the adoption fee, but this varies, so confirm with the shelter. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nello, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nello?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nello on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nello if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) whether they will for Nello, what they require (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 Nello already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Nello. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana), so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Nello isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nello 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 (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
