Nelly

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Nelly – Sunshine on Four Paws Seeks Her Forever Home ☀️ Our sweet Nelly is a young dog with a big heart. As a puppy, she had to fend for herself as a stray until she was rescued – perhaps that’s why she savors every bit of affection today. Despite her tough start in life, Nelly is incredibly friendly, curious, and social. Nelly is probably a herding dog mix. This means that a watchful, clever, and independent character lies within her. Herding dogs were originally bred to protect their family or herd without being aggressive. These traits make Nelly a particularly loyal companion who is attentive to her surroundings and loves her people with calmness and consideration. She needs people who understand her wise, sensitive nature and can give her clear, loving guidance. She gets along well with other dogs and would therefore also be perfect as a second dog. She shows openness and affection to people without being pushy. Nelly loves to discover new things and would be happy with a home where she can continue to explore the world – together with her people. We wish for Nelly a family that shows her the beautiful sides of life with patience and heart. A securely fenced yard would be a dream, but it’s not a must. What’s most important is time, love, and a love for adventure. Who will give Nelly the chance at a happy doggy life?

Nelly – Sonnenschein auf vier Pfoten sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause ☀️ Unsere süße Nelly ist ein junger Hund mit einem großen Herzen. Als Welpe musste sie sich als Streunerin durchschlagen, bis sie gerettet wurde – vielleicht erklärt das, warum sie heute jede Zuwendung so sehr genießt. Trotz ihres schweren Starts ins Leben ist Nelly unglaublich freundlich, neugierig und sozial. Nelly ist wahrscheinlich ein Herdenschutzhund-Mix. Das bedeutet, dass in ihr ein wachsamer, kluger und selbstständiger Charakter steckt. Herdenschutzhunde wurden ursprünglich gezüchtet, um ihre Familie oder Herde zu beschützen – ohne dabei aggressiv zu sein. Diese Eigenschaften machen Nelly zu einer besonders loyalen Begleiterin, die aufmerksam auf ihre Umgebung reagiert und ihre Menschen mit Ruhe und Achtsamkeit liebt. Sie braucht Menschen, die ihre kluge, sensible Art verstehen und ihr klare, liebevolle Führung geben. Sie versteht sich bestens mit anderen Hunden und wäre daher auch perfekt als Zweithund geeignet. Menschen gegenüber zeigt sie sich offen und liebevoll, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu sein. Nelly liebt es, Neues zu entdecken und würde sich über ein Zuhause freuen, in dem sie die Welt weiter erkunden darf – gemeinsam mit ihren Menschen. Wir wünschen uns für Nelly eine Familie, die ihr mit Geduld und Herz die schönen Seiten des Lebens zeigt. Ein sicher eingezäunter Garten wäre ein Traum, ist aber kein Muss. Wichtig ist vor allem Zeit, Liebe und Lust auf Abenteuer. Wer schenkt Nelly die Chance auf ein glückliches Hundeleben? 💛

About Nelly

What life with Nelly looks like

Nelly is a extra-large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

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 Nelly, answered.

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