How do I contact the shelter about Nelly?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Freundeskreis Notfellchen 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 — Freundeskreis Notfellchen 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 Freundeskreis Notfellchen 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.

Nelly

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Nelly is a 8-year-old, 45cm-tall, female dog who was born around 2018. She is currently located in 51766 Engelskirchen. Her owner is unfortunately seriously ill, so we are looking for a new, loving home for this sweet dog. Nelly is a friendly, gentle dog who is a bit reserved. She lived with her owner and other dogs and cats, and was a peaceful soul. She is house-trained, walks well on a leash, and can be left alone for some time. Nelly originally came from Romania a few years ago. She is fully vaccinated, has a blue EU pet passport, and is spayed. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We know nothing about her past. It is likely that she came from the streets or was abandoned there. We do not know the breed of her parents, so we cannot provide information about the breeds she may be related to.

About Nelly

What life with Nelly looks like

Nelly is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Freundeskreis Notfellchen e.V. in Dorsten.

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.
