Load More .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-84 > .fusion-body .fusion-flex-container Nelly ist eine wunderschöne, mittelgroße Hündin mit einem ganz besonderen Charme. Ihr glänzendes, rehbraunes Fell, die dunkle Maske und ihr wacher, neugieriger Blick machen sie zu einer echten Schönheit. Trotz ihres Handicaps sprüht Nelly vor Lebensfreude – auf drei Beinen flitzt sie fröhlich über Wiesen, immer bereit für ein Abenteuer oder ein ausgelassenes Spiel mit ihren Hundefreunden. Nelly hat auf den Straßen viel durchgemacht. Eine unbehandelte Verletzung machte leider eine Amputation notwendig, doch sie hat sich davon nicht unterkriegen lassen. Heute zeigt sie uns täglich, was Lebensmut bedeutet! In ihrer Pflegestelle lebt Nelly harmonisch mit Rüden zusammen, sogar mit einem stattlichen Rottweiler – sie ist sozial, souverän und weiß genau, wie sie sich verhalten muss. Menschen gegenüber ist sie aufgeschlossen und liebevoll, manchmal etwas stürmisch, weil sie vor Energie nur so sprüht. Für Nelly wünschen wir uns aktive, hundeerfahrene Menschen, die Freude daran haben, mit ihr zu arbeiten, ihr Bewegung ermöglichen und sie geistig fordern. Sie liebt Spaziergänge, Spiele und jede Form von Aufmerksamkeit – kurz gesagt: Nelly will mitten im Leben stehen. Da sie nur drei Beine hat, sucht Nelly ein ebenerdiges Zuhause oder eines mit nur sehr wenigen Stufen, damit sie sich frei und schmerzfrei bewegen kann. Wenn du eine treue, lebensfrohe Begleiterin suchst, die dich mit grenzenloser Energie und Zuneigung bereichert, dann ist Nelly genau die Richtige. .fusion-body .fusion-button Interesse an einer Adoption?

About Nelly

What life with Nelly looks like

Nelly is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Nordic Strays e.V. in Germany.

An young 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. Nordic Strays 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 — Nordic Strays 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 Nordic Strays 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.
