Nelly

Mixed Breed · Female

Nelly was abandoned as a female puppy on a heavily trafficked highway in Romania. Unfortunately, the delicate female dog was still too young to properly assess the danger of traffic and suffered a car accident. When our animal protection friends found Nelly, she was already severely injured and had to have her front leg amputated. Since then, Nelly has recovered well from the operation and adapted to living on three legs.

Nelly wurde als Welpenmädchen an einer stark befahrenen Schnellstraße in Rumänien ausgesetzt. Leider war die zierliche Hündin noch zu jung, um die Gefahr des Straßenverkehrs richtig einschätzen zu können und erlitt einen Autounfall. Als unsere Tierschutzfreunde Nelly fanden, war sie bereits so schwer verletzt, dass das Vorderbein nur noch amputiert werden konnte. Zwischenzeitlich hat sich Nelly gut von der Operation erholt und an das Leben auf drei Beinen gewöhnt. Trotz ihres schweren Schicksals hat sie niemals aufgegeben und da die Chancen für die

About Nelly

What life with Nelly looks like

Nelly is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for lost Souls e.V. in Kleinostheim.

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 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. Hope for lost Souls 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 — Hope for lost Souls 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 Hope for lost Souls 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.
