Nemo

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 2 months

Nemo, a male puppy, has been at the shelter since September 2026. He is estimated to be born in August 2026 and will reach a final shoulder height of approximately 20-59 cm and a final weight of 10-35 kg. He is ready to be adopted on December 8th. Watch Nemo's video to meet him! Nemo was rescued from a family farm along with his mother Zuzu and siblings Dorie, Marlin, and Cora, who could no longer care for them, and taken to the shelter. More information about how the dogs end up in the shelter and answers to general questions can be found in our animal welfare FAQ. Our puppy gang has shown itself to be playful and curious so far. The little clumsy furballs are exploring their world, some a bit shy, some already confident. Their character will continue to develop in the coming weeks and months - at this point only the beginnings can be seen. If you would like more information about this furball, please contact our placement team. Puppies should not have to grow up in a shelter. Therefore, we are urgently looking for a loving home or an experienced foster home for this little furball - a place where he can discover the world, build trust and simply be a puppy. Anyone adopting a puppy should be aware of how demanding everyday life with a young dog can be: As soon as house training is done, the "wild puberty" often starts - full of energy, uncertainties and new challenges. The first years of life are an exciting journey that humans and dogs go through together - with ups and downs and plenty of learning moments. We wish this furball people with patience, empathy and perseverance - and with the understanding that animal shelter dogs often already have a certain history. How exactly they react to their new life in Germany can never be fully predicted. But one thing is certain: Adopting instead of buying not only gives an animal a second chance, but also actively decides against animal suffering - and for a life with a very special companion by your side. Already in love? Send us a self-disclosure! Adoption If you are thinking about an adoption, first read through the placement process. All dogs are vaccinated, chipped, dewormed, flea-treated and neutered before departure (except for puppies up to 6 months and very old dogs). Dogs older than 1 year are also tested for Mediterranean diseases. If you have any questions, please send a message to our placement team.

Im Tierheim seit: September 2026 Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. August 2026 Geschätzte Endschulterhöhe: ca. 20 – 59 cm Geschätztes Endgewicht: ca. 10 – 35 kg Früheste Ausreise: 08.12. Lerne hier Nemo direkt im Video kennen! Welpe Nemo ist bereit für sein großes Abenteuer! Nemo wurde mit Mama Zuzu und seinen Geschwistern Dorie, Marlin und Cora von einem Hof einer Familie gerettet, die sie nicht mehr haben wollte, und im Tierheim aufgenommen. Mehr Informationen darüber, wie die Hunde ins Tierheim kommen und Antworten auf generelle Fragen findest du in unserem Tierschutz-FAQ. Unsere Welpen-Rasselbande zeigt sich bisher als welpentypisch aufgeweckt und verspielt. Die kleinen tollpatschigen Fellnasen erkunden ihre Welt, manche etwas schüchterner, manche schon souverän. Ihr Charakter wird sich in den nächsten Wochen und Monaten immer weiter ausbilden – zu diesem Zeitpunkt sind nur die Anfänge zu erkennen. Wenn du mehr Informationen zu dieser Fellnase haben möchtest, schreib gern unserem Vermittlungsteam . Welpen sollten nicht im Tierheim aufwachsen müssen. Deshalb suchen wir dringend ein liebevolles Zuhause oder eine erfahrene Pflegestelle für diese kleine Fellnase – einen Ort, an dem sie die Welt entdecken, Vertrauen aufbauen und einfach Hundekind sein darf. Wer einen Welpen adoptiert, sollte sich bewusst machen, wie fordernd der Alltag mit einem jungen Hund sein kann: Kaum ist die Stubenreinheit geschafft, steht oft schon die „wilde Pubertät“ an – voller Energie, Unsicherheiten und neuer Herausforderungen. Die ersten Lebensjahre sind eine aufregende Reise, die Mensch und Hund gemeinsam gehen – mit Höhen, Tiefen und jeder Menge Lernmomente. Wir wünschen uns für diese Fellnase Menschen mit Geduld, Empathie und Durchhaltevermögen – und mit dem Verständnis dafür, dass Tierschutzhunde oft bereits eine gewisse Geschichte mitbringen. Wie genau sie auf das neue Leben in Deutschland reagieren, lässt sich nie vollständig vorhersagen. Aber eines ist sicher: Wer adoptiert statt kauft , schenkt nicht nur einem Tier eine zweite Chance, sondern entscheidet sich aktiv gegen Tierleid – und für ein Leben mit einem ganz besonderen Gefährten an der Seite. Schon verliebt? Schick uns eine Selbstauskunft! Adoption Wenn du über eine Adoption nachdenkst, lies dir zunächst den Vermittlungsablauf durch. Alle Hunde werden vor der Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht und kastriert (Ausnahme sind Welpen bis 6 Monate und sehr alte Hunde). Hunde, die älter als 1 Jahr sind, werden zudem auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreibe unserem Vermittlungsteam gern eine Nachricht.

About Nemo

What life with Nemo looks like

Nemo is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Hunderettung Europa e.V. in Duisburg.

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. 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 Nemo, answered.

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