Adopt Nelly

Mixed Breed · Female

Breed: Labrador Mix Gender: Female Born: 04/2016 Size: Large Neutered: Yes Identification: Microchip Description: What stands out about Nelly first is her zest for life and her energy. Despite her spirited temperament, she can be insecure in certain situations and needs someone by her side who can guide her calmly and confidently. On one hand, she is cuddly and loves to play and romp exuberantly with her human. She is very attentive, communicative, trainable, and has a good basic obedience. On the other hand, Nelly is very uncertain around other animals, some environmental stimuli, and even some people. She needs someone who can provide her with security, clear guidance, and a stable home. Nelly wishes for a home of her own without a second dog. She is not suitable for children. We are looking for experienced dog owners for Nelly. They should bring time, patience, and empathy for their new companion.

Rasse: Labrador-Mix Geschlecht: weiblich geb.am: 04.2016 Größe: groß Kastriert: ja Kennzeichnung: Chip Beschreibung: Was an Nelly zuerst auffällt, sind ihre Lebensfreude und ihre Energie. Bei allem Temperament ist sie aber in bestimmten Situationen unsicher und braucht dann einen Menschen an ihrer Seite, der sie ruhig und souverän zu führen versteht. Einerseits ist sie verschmust und spielt und tobt gerne ausgelassen mit „ihrem“ Menschen herum, ist sehr aufmerksam, kommunikativ, gelehrig und hat einen guten Grundgehorsam. Andererseits ist Nelly Artgenossen, manchen Umweltreizen und auch manchen Menschen gegenüber sehr unsicher. Sie braucht jemanden, der ihr Sicherheit vermittelt und klare Ansagen macht. Nelly wünscht sich ein Zuhause für sich alleine ohne Zweithund. Für Kinder ist Nelly nicht geeignet. Wir suchen für Nelly Interessenten mit Hundeerfahrung. Diese sollten Zeit, Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen für ihren neuen Schützling mitbringen. zurück zur Übersicht

About Nelly

What life with Nelly looks like

Nelly is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Landsberg am Lech e.V. in Germany.

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. Tierschutzverein Landsberg am Lech 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 — Tierschutzverein Landsberg am Lech 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 Tierschutzverein Landsberg am Lech 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.
