Nero

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

RottweilerNero was born in June 2017Guests: unsure and waryChildren: NoDogs: NoBitches: NoCats: NoSmall animals: NoSince Nero was a young dog, he often had guest spots at the animal shelter because his owner went on vacation or didn't have time for Nero. Given his previous experience with husbandry (on a property he was supposed to guard), Nero also doesn't know much about the world. To get to know Nero better, one must definitely plan a few appointments, as he is initially wary and unsure and can also growl if strangers come too close. He also shows some environmental insecurities in unfamiliar situations. If he trusts his human, he goes forward bravely towards the unknown and is also open to new things. Nero doesn't know other dogs from his earlier life, which can take some time to get used to. His first reaction to fellow animals that come too close is loud, wild barking. On the leash, however, he usually goes by nicely. Cats and small animals should not live in Nero's future home. We are looking for a family for Nero, preferably one with Rottweiler experience without children. On the one hand, one must show Nero the world with patience and calmness, but on the other hand, one must also show him his place and his path through consistent training. If one gives Nero the chance to settle in and helps him overcome his insecurities, one gets a great companion and a loyal friend.

RottweilerRüdegeboren: Juni 2017Fremde: unsicher misstrauischKinder: NeinRüden: NeinHündinnen: NeinKatzen: NeinKleintiere: Nein Seit Nero ein junger Hund war, hatte er häufig Gastspiele im Tierheim, weil sein Besitzer in Urlaub gefahren ist, oder er keine Zeit für Nero hatte. Entsprechend der bisherigen Haltung (auf einen Grundstück, welches er bewachen sollte) kennt Nero auch nicht viel von der Welt. Wer Nero näher kennen lernen möchte, muss auf jeden Fall ein paar Termine einplanen, da er zunächst misstrauisch und unsicher ist und dann auch mal knurren kann, wenn Fremde zu schnell zu Nahe kommen. Auch zeigt er einige Umweltunsicherheiten in ihm unbekannten Situationen.Vertraut er seinem Menschen, geht er mit ihm zusammen aber tapfer auf Unbekanntes zu und lässt sich auch auf Neues ein. Fremde Hunde kennt Nero aus seinem früheren Leben nicht, weshalb die Gewöhnung an diese einiges an Zeit mit sich bringen kann. Seine erste Reaktion auf Artgenossen die ihm zu nahe kommen ist lautes, wildes Gebell. An der Leine geht er aber meistens brav vorbei. Katzen und Kleintiere sollten nicht in Neros zukünftigem Zuhause leben. Für Nero suchen wir eine, am besten Rottweiler erfahrene Familie ohne Kinder. Einerseits muss man ihm mit Geduld und Ruhe die Welt zeigen, ihn aber andererseits auch durch konsequente Erziehung seinen Platz und seinen Weg zeigen. Gibt man Nero die Chance sich einzuleben und hilft ihm dabei seine Unsicherheiten zu überwinden bekommt man einen tollen Begleiter und loyalen Freund.

About Nero

What life with Nero looks like

Nero is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hedwig-Trampert-Tierheim Dillingen in Dillingen.

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 Nero, answered.

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