Nero

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Nero, the beautiful black male, is a perfect name for him. He was adopted in our Namaco animal shelter in 2017 along with his sister Noki and brother Maron. Once again, a Romanian animal shelter was closing, and where to send all the dogs?! The shy trio found asylum in our shelter and thus escaped the euthanasia station. Nero still appears very shy and cautious. He simply doesn't know how to handle many situations and often takes reverse gear to escape the situation. However, he shows great interest in humans, but simply lacks the courage to really let himself go and trust. What must have happened to him in the past!? Unfortunately, we don't know... Nero can be given a chance at a better life in a quiet, understanding home. The 2016-born male definitely needs very patient and selfless people who will love him, no matter how long it takes for Nero to fully trust his humans. Since Nero proves to be an extremely social dog buddy who orients himself to the other dogs in the kennel, it would certainly be a small help if an open-minded and loyal dog friend lived in his new home, who could support Nero a bit and be by his side. Nero travels fully vaccinated, chipped, dewormed, neutered, tested for Mediterranean diseases and with an EU pet passport to his new home.

Wie passend dieser Name für den wunderschönen schwarzen Rüden doch ist. Gemeinsam mit seiner Schwester Noki und seinem Bruder Maron wurde er 2017 in unserem Namaco-Tierheim aufgenommenen. Wieder einmal stand ein rumänisches Tierheim vor der Schließung, wohin also mit all den Hunden?! Das schüchterne Trio bekam somit Asyl in unserer Auffangstation und ist somit der Tötungsstation zum Glück entkommen. Nero zeigt sich noch immer als sehr verschüchtert und vorsichtig. Mit vielen Situationen, in denen man ihm gegenüber tritt, weiß er einfach nichts mit anzufangen und legt somit sehr oft den Rückwärtsgang ein, um der Situation zu entkommen. Er zeigt allerdings großes Interesse an uns Menschen, ihm fehlt aber einfach der Mut, um sich richtig fallen lassen zu können und zu vertrauen. Was mag bloß in der Vergangenheit mit ihm passiert sein!? Wir wissen es leider nicht... In einem ruhigen, verständnisvollen Zuhause kann Nero die Chance auf ein besseres Leben gegeben werden. Der im Jahr 2016 geborene Rüde braucht definitiv sehr sehr geduldige und aufopfernde Menschen, die ihn lieben werden, ganz egal wie lange es dauert bis Nero vollständig Vertrauen zu seinen Menschen gefasst hat. Da Nero sich als ein überaus sozialer Hundekumpel erweist, der sich an den anderen Hunden im Zwinger orientiert, wäre es sicherlich auch eine kleine Hilfe, wenn in seinem neuen Zuhause ein aufgeschlossener und treuer Hundefreund wohnt, der Nero ebenso ein Stück weit unterstützen und ihn an die Pfote könnte. Nero reist vollständig geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, kastriert, auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis in sein neues Zuhause.

About Nero

What life with Nero looks like

Nero is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance e.V. in Bitterfeld - Wolfen.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance e.V. 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 — Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance e.V. 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.
