Nelu M

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Profile: Age: Born around September 2021 Gender: Female Spayed: Yes Temperament: Always friendly; with trusted people she is reserved and cuddly; with strangers she is anxious; gets along with fellow animals Size: Approximately 50 cm Time in Shelter: Since February 2022 Siblings: Sister Rosine Guten Tag dear people! I am a friendly, but also very sensitive and insecure female puppy and was rescued with my sister at the age of only a few months from the street. Since then, we have been living here in the shelter and are in safety. Fortunately! Because life as a street dog for young, inexperienced puppies like us was dangerous and risky. Here in the shelter, I can now hope for a better future. And I do so with all my heart, because the life in the midst of all the noise and chaos of such a place is too stressful for a delicate little soul like me. You can see the stress in my entire body language, and my prematurely gray fur around my snout speaks volumes. Living with a family is foreign to me, and I know almost nothing of a real life. This is evident in my behavior, as I tend to hide rather than make contact when approached by unfamiliar bipeds. Strangers make me very nervous. However, when my primary caregiver enters the kennel, I am much more curious and am now also happy to be petted. But despite all the stress here, I can never fully relax. For a promising future, I need very patient and understanding people by my side who can gradually and at my own pace bring the new world closer to me. Then I will also be ready to give you my trust so that we can experience an adventurous future side by side. I am counting the days until I can embark on the great journey. If you are interested in Nelu, please fill out our Prospective Owner Form () or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Nelu is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months of age, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis. Alexandra M. has taken on the sponsorship for Nelu and ensures a full food bowl. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!. Gets along with other dogs.

Steckbrief Alter: ca. September 2021 geboren Geschlecht: weiblich Kastriert: ja Charakter: immer freundlich; gegenüber Bezugspersonen zurückhaltend und verschmust; bei Fremden ängstlich; verträglich mit Artgenossen Größe: ca. 50 cm Im Shelter seit: Februar 2022 Verwandte: Schwester Rosine Guten Tag liebe Menschen! Ich bin ein freundliches, aber auch sehr sensibles und unsicheres Hundemädchen und wurde einst im Alter von nur wenigen Monaten zusammen mit meiner Schwester von der Straße gerettet. Seither leben wir hier im Shelter und sind in Sicherzeit. Zum Glück! Denn so ein Leben als Straßenhund ist für junge, unerfahrene Junghunde, wie wir es waren, gefährlich und riskant. Hier im Shelter kann ich nun auf eine bessere Zukunft hoffen. Und das tue ich ganz inständig, denn das Leben inmitten all des Lärms und Trubels eines solchen Ortes ist für ein zartes Seelchen wie mich viel zu stressig. Man kann mir den Stress in meiner ganzen Körpersprache ansehen und auch mein viel zu schnell ergrautes Fell um die Schnauze spricht Bände. Das Zusammenleben mit einer Familie ist mir fremd und vom richtigen Leben kenne ich so gut wie gar nichts. Das zeigt sich darin, dass ich mich bei Annäherung von mir unbekannten Zweibeinern lieber verstecke als Kontakt aufzunehmen. Fremde Menschen machen mich einfach sehr nervös. Betritt hingegen meine Bezugsperson den Zwinger, so bin ich wesentlich neugieriger und lasse mich mittlerweile auch gerne streicheln. Richtig entspannen kann ich bei all dem Stress hier aber nie. Für eine vielversprechende Zukunft brauche ich sehr geduldige und verständnisvolle Menschen an meiner Seite, die mir die neue Welt Schritt für Schritt und in meinem eigenen Tempo näherbringen. Dann bin ich auch bereit, dir mein Vertrauen zu schenken, damit wir gemeinsam eine abenteuerliche Zukunft – Seite an Seite – erleben können. Nun zähle ich die Tage, bis ich mich auf die große Reise begeben kann. Wenn Sie Interesse an Nelu haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Nelu ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Alexandra M. hat die Patenschaft für Nelu übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Nelu M

What life with Nelu M looks like

Nelu M is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Nelu M, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nelu M?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Seelen für Seelchen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nelu M on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nelu M if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelen für Seelchen 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 Nelu M 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 Nelu M 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 Seelen für Seelchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nelu M 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.
