Nelly

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Nelly is a bit bigger than her sister Shelly and also a bit more brave. She is incredibly clingy and people-oriented and gets along well with other, larger dogs. We wish for her a home that isn't too turbulent. She is very intelligent and would love to show it off. Therefore, a visit to dog training classes would surely be very fun for Nelly.

Nelly ist etwas größer als ihre Schwester Shelly und auch etwas mutiger. Sie ist unglaublich anhänglich und menschenbezogen und verträgt sich mit anderen, großen Hunden gut. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein nicht zu turbulentes Zuhause. Sie ist sehr intelligent und möchte das auch gerne zeigen. Deshalb ist der Besuch einer Hundeschule sicherlich sehr spaßig für Nelly.

About Nelly

What life with Nelly looks like

Nelly is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Lüneburg in Lueneburg.

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. Tierheim Lüneburg 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 — Tierheim Lüneburg 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 Tierheim Lüneburg 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.
