How do I contact the shelter about Nero?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Mülheim 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 — Tierheim Mülheim 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 Tierheim Mülheim 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.

Nero

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 6 years

Nero was dropped off at our shelter when his owner passed away and no one was willing to take him in. Nero seems to have not learned much in the past few years. He is extremely lively and energetic, and it can be really challenging to handle him in some situations. We are currently working on his impulse control and leash handling, and most importantly, guiding his temperament in the right direction. But that is not easy here at the animal shelter, where a lot of training has been neglected. Since he has no experience with other dogs, he has shown to be incompatible with others so far, but we are working on that. We are looking for German Shepherd enthusiasts who have a lot of experience, especially with difficult dogs. Those who are willing to work with Nero on his issues. Nero will not be rehomed to a family with children. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

DE·Show original

Nero wurde bei uns abgegeben, da sein Besitzer verstarb und keiner ihn übernehmen wollte. Nero scheint in den vergangenen Jahren nicht viel kennengelernt zu haben. Er ist extrem lebhaft und triebhaft, es ist wirklich nicht einfach in manchen Situationen mit ihm umzugehen. Wir arbeiten grade an seiner Impulskontrolle und Leinenführigkeit und vor allem daran, sein Temperament in die richtigen Bahnen zu lenken. Aber das ist hier im Tierheim nicht einfach, hier wurde in Sachen Erziehung wirklich sehr viel versäumt. Da er den Umgang mit anderen Hunden nicht kennt, zeigt er sich bei uns bis jetzt unverträglich, aber auch daran wird später noch gearbeitet. Wir suchen Schäferhund-Kenner, die wirklich viel Erfahrung auch mit schwierigen Hunden haben. Die bereit sind mit Nero an seinen Problemen zu arbeiten. Nero wird nicht in eine Familie mit Kinder vermittelt.

About Nero

What life with Nero looks like

Nero is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Mülheim in Mülheim.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
