Nelson

Labrador Retriever · Male · Puppy · 6 months

9 puppy dogs - discovered by chance by a walker at the airport. She didn't look away, but informed Lida, our partner animal shelter. The location of Lida near the airport and so the shelter manager could quickly come and bring the little ones to safety. They were medically checked and had to be quarantined. Now they are ready for a beautiful life in a family. There are 6 girls and 3 boys, and here comes little Nelson. Nelson has the typical Labrador figure, he can't deny his genes here. Whether that stays, we will see. He is like his siblings a friendly, lively boy. They are still living in a small kennel with their siblings. There is played, raged, cuddled. You can't see how the puppies develop yet. It's too early for that. They have experienced nothing bad and all have the same "start condition" However, the puppies take the animal shelter life differently. Some are always in a good mood, others find the monotonous life a bit too much. We are looking for a family or single person with dog experience and garden, who is aware that raising a puppy requires time and patience, so that they become a great family dog and companion. It would be nice if a first dog could live in the family. Children should be of primary school age and know how to handle animals responsibly, because puppies are not toys. If you would like to learn more about Nelson, please feel free to contact us. All dogs are chipped, vaccinated and travel with an EU passport in a transport registered with the German veterinary office when they leave.

9 Hundebabies- nur durch Zufall von einer Spaziergängerin am Flughafen entdeckt. Sie hat nicht weggesehen, sondern die Lida, unser Kooperationstierheim informiert. Der Standort der Lida nahe Flughafen und so konnte der Tierheimleiter schnell kommen und die Kleinen in Sicherheit bringen. Sie wurden medizinisch gecheckt und mussten in Quarantäne. Nun sind sie bereit für ein schönes Leben in einer Familie Es sind 6 Mädchen und 3 Jungs, und hier kommt der kleine Nelson. Nelson hat die typische Labradorfigur, er kann seine Gene hier nicht verleugnen. Ob das bleibt, wird man sehen. Er ist wie seine Geschwister ein freundlicher, aufgeweckter Junge. Sie leben zur Zeit noch in einem kleinen Zwinger mit ihren Geschwistern. Da wird gespielt, getobt, gekuschelt. Noch kann man nicht sehen, wie sich die Welpen entwickeln. Dazu ist es noch zu früh. Sie haben nichts Schlechtes erlebt und alle haben die gleiche „Startbedingung“ Allerdings nehmen die Welpen das Tierheimleben unterschiedlich an. Einige sind immer gut gelaunt, den anderen macht das monotone Leben etwas zu schaffen. Wir suchen eine Familie oder Einzelperson mit Hundeerfahrung und Garten, die sich bewusst ist, dass die Erziehung eines Welpen Zeit und Geduld fordert, damit aus ihnen ein toller Familienhund und Begleiter wird. Gerne kann ein Ersthund in der Familie leben. Kinder sollten im Grundschulalter sein und den verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Tieren kennen, denn Welpen sind kein Spielzeug. Wenn Sie mehr über Nelson erfahren möchten, nehmen Sie gerne unverbindlich Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport.

About Nelson

What life with Nelson looks like

Nelson is a small puppy labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Nelson, answered.

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