Nelly

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Nelly 10/2019 | female Hello, I'm Nelly! I am a black female dog with a calm and balanced nature. I approach people friendly and openly, and I also get along well with other dogs. I hardly know fear of new situations - I take life as it comes. Of course, I enjoy being outdoors, but I don't need hours-long hikes anymore. I find regular walks, time spent together with my humans, and a cozy spot to rest afterwards much more pleasant. I wish for a home where I can simply belong. If you are looking for a friendly, uncomplicated companion who enjoys life relaxed, then I look forward to getting to know you. Send inquiry here

Nelly 10/2019 | weiblich Hallo, ich bin Nelly! Ich bin eine schwarze Hündin mit einem ruhigen und ausgeglichenen Wesen. Menschen begegne ich freundlich und offen, und auch mit anderen Hunden verstehe ich mich gut. Angst vor neuen Situationen kenne ich kaum – ich nehme das Leben, wie es kommt. Natürlich bin ich gerne draußen unterwegs, aber ich brauche keine stundenlangen Wanderungen mehr. Viel schöner finde ich regelmäßige Spaziergänge, gemeinsame Zeit mit meinen Menschen und anschließend ein gemütliches Plätzchen zum Ausruhen. Ich wünsche mir ein Zuhause, in dem ich einfach dazugehören darf. Wenn du eine freundliche, unkomplizierte Begleiterin suchst, die das Leben entspannt genießt, dann freue ich mich darauf, dich kennenzulernen. Hier Anfrage senden

About Nelly

What life with Nelly looks like

Nelly is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Menschen für Tiere in Oberndorf a.N..

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. Menschen für Tiere 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 — Menschen für Tiere 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 Menschen für Tiere 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.
