Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

NELO - LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS! Nelo is currently in a perrera in Galicia, Spain, waiting to be discovered by the right people. Unlike his friend Fran (whom we will also introduce to you), Nelo is initially a bit shy and reserved. He needs a moment to gain trust. But step by step, he gets closer and shows what a lovely guy is in him. Together with his dog friend, they even share kisses. ❤️ Nelo is about 7 years old, medium-sized and weighs about 15 kg. He needs people who give him time, do not pressure him and show him with patience and empathy how beautiful a home can be. Seven years is not an age to wait for his happiness anymore. Nelo deserves to finally arrive and spend his golden years in security. Who will give this lovely dog a second chance? �� Origin: Spain - Perrera �� Age: approx. 7 years (as of November 2026) ⚖️ Weight: approx. 15 kg �� Size: medium-sized ❤️ Character: loving, initially shy and reserved, needs some time to gain trust If Nelo leaves, he is already vaccinated, chipped, neutered, dewormed, has a valid EU pet passport and has all the necessary veterinary examinations. An adoption means responsibility for a whole dog's life. It should only be done if there is enough time, patience and understanding to give the dog a permanent home and lovingly accompany him on his arrival.

NELO – SUCHT SEIN GLÜCK! Nelo sitzt derzeit in einer Perrera in Galizien/Spanien und wartet darauf, endlich von den richtigen Menschen entdeckt zu werden. Im Gegensatz zu seinem Freund Fran (ihn stellen wir Euch auch vor) ist Nelo zunächst etwas schüchtern und zurückhaltend. Er braucht einen Moment, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Doch Schritt für Schritt kommt er näher und zeigt, was für ein lieber Kerl in ihm steckt. Zusammen mit seinem Hundefreund werden sogar schon Küsschen verteilt. ❤️ Nelo ist etwa 7 Jahre alt, mittelgroß und wiegt ungefähr 15 kg. Er braucht Menschen, die ihm Zeit geben, ihn nicht bedrängen und ihm mit Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen zeigen, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann. Sieben Jahre sind kein Alter, um noch auf sein Glück warten zu müssen. Nelo verdient es, endlich anzukommen und seinen Lebensabend in Geborgenheit zu verbringen. Wer schenkt diesem lieben Hund eine zweite Chance? �� Herkunft: Spanien – Perrera �� Alter: ca. 7 Jahre (Stand November 2026) ⚖️ Gewicht: ca. 15 kg �� Größe: mittelgroß ❤️ Charakter: lieb, zunächst schüchtern und zurückhaltend, braucht etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen Wenn Nelo ausreist, ist er bereits geimpft, gechippt, kastriert, entwurmt, besitzt einen gültigen EU-Heimtierausweis und hat alle erforderlichen tierärztlichen Untersuchungen. Eine Adoption bedeutet Verantwortung für ein ganzes Hundeleben. Sie sollte nur erfolgen, wenn ausreichend Zeit, Geduld und Verständnis vorhanden sind, um dem Hund ein dauerhaftes Zuhause zu schenken und ihn liebevoll beim Ankommen zu begleiten.

About Nelo

What life with Nelo looks like

Nelo is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehoffnung-Berlin 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nelo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nelo?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Hundehoffnung-Berlin handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nelo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nelo if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Hundehoffnung-Berlin whether they will for Nelo, what they require (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 Nelo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Hundehoffnung-Berlin lists Nelo as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Hundehoffnung-Berlin, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Nelo isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Hundehoffnung-Berlin about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nelo 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.
