Nelly

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Nelly, estimated to have been born between 2020 and 2022, is a joyful and lovable female dog who still wants to discover and experience so much. Following an earlier accident, her pelvis is slightly crooked, but this does not affect her at all. Nelly is very sociable and takes her cues strongly from other dogs, so a confident second dog in her new home is an absolute must. With a secure dog by her side, she also enjoys walks and gains even more confidence through them. She is a funny, cheeky, and charming female dog who likes to have her own way. If something doesn't suit her, she may well "argue the point." Nelly loves shredding cardboard boxes and, when left alone, has plenty of mischief on her mind, which makes her a lovable little adventurer. Nelly gets along very well with other dogs. She is also familiar with cats and currently lives with them, although from time to time she does chase after them. If there are cats in the household, it is therefore wise to keep a watchful eye on her at the beginning. A house with a yard would be ideal, as Nelly loves being outdoors. It is important, however, that the fencing is very good and high, because she easily clears fences up to 1.40 m. Nelly is a loyal companion who enjoys life to the fullest. Whoever gives her a home will gain a true friend for life. Nelly is neutered and will be vaccinated, microchipped, and placed with a protection contract following a positive preliminary check.

Nelly, geschätzt geboren zwischen 2020 und 2022, ist eine lebensfrohe und liebenswerte Hündin, die noch viel entdecken und erleben möchte. Durch einen früheren Unfall ist ihr Becken zwar leicht schief, das beeinträchtigt sie jedoch überhaupt nicht. Nelly ist sehr sozial und orientiert sich stark an anderen Hunden, weshalb ein souveräner Zweithund in ihrem neuen Zuhause unbedingt vorhanden sein sollte. Mit einem sicheren Hund an ihrer Seite geht sie auch gerne spazieren und gewinnt dadurch noch mehr Vertrauen.Sie ist eine lustige, freche und charmante Hündin, die gerne ihren eigenen Kopf hat. Wenn ihr etwas nicht passt, kann sie auch schon mal „diskutieren“. Nelly liebt es, Kartons zu schreddern, und hat, wenn sie allein ist, noch viel Unsinn im Kopf, was sie zu einer liebenswerten kleinen Abenteurerin macht.Mit anderen Hunden ist Nelly sehr verträglich. Katzen kennt sie ebenfalls, lebt aktuell mit ihnen zusammen, allerdings kommt es hin und wieder vor, dass sie ihnen hinterherjagt. Wenn Katzen im Haushalt leben, sollte man daher am Anfang ein wachsames Auge haben. Ein Haus mit Grundstück wäre ideal, da Nelly es liebt, draußen zu sein. Wichtig ist allerdings eine sehr gute und hohe Einzäunung, denn Zäune bis 1,40 m überwindet sie mühelos.Nelly ist eine treue Begleiterin, die das Leben in vollen Zügen genießt. Wer ihr ein Zuhause schenkt, bekommt eine echte Freundin fürs Leben. Nelly ist kastriert und wird geimpft, gechippt und nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.

About Nelly

What life with Nelly looks like

Nelly is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Vierbeiner in Not 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 — Vierbeiner in Not 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Vierbeiner in Not 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.
