Nero

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Nero (gray), born approximately 2024, neutered, approximately 70 cm shoulder height, at the shelter since 01/2026 Nero came to us with his mother (black) from the Alexandria euthanasia center. He initially took some time to adjust to the new situation and was uncertain. He has since become more open, seeking human contact, but is still cautious in new or stressful situations. He tends to retreat rather than confront them. He walks well on a leash but needs some practice. He shows no aggression - neither biting nor snapping. On the contrary, Nero is a gentle giant who is often teased in his kennel. Instead of fighting back, he usually retreats and avoids conflict. A home with experience with large dogs is sought, which can provide him with the necessary security and guidance. Currently in Romania and allowed to travel if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated for intestinal and ectoparasites at their arrival at the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life at the shelter and may differ in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page.

06/2026 Nero (grau), geboren ca. 2024, kastriert, ca. 70 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 01/2026 Nero kam mit seiner Mama (schwarz) aus der Tötung in Alexandria zu uns. Er hat anfangs etwas Zeit gebraucht, da er unsicher war und sich erst an die neue Situation gewöhnen musste. Mittlerweile ist er deutlich offener geworden, sucht die Nähe zum Menschen, ist in neuen oder stressigen Situationen aber noch etwas vorsichtig. Dann zieht er sich eher zurück, anstatt nach vorne zu gehen. An der Leine läuft er schon ganz gut, braucht aber noch etwas Übung. Er zeigt keinerlei Aggression – weder Beißen noch Schnappen. Im Gegenteil: Nero ist ein sanfter Riese, der in seinem Kennel auch häufiger geärgert wird. Doch statt sich zu wehren, da er meist viel größer ist, zieht er sich lieber zurück und geht jedem Konflikt aus dem Weg. Gesucht wird ein rasseerfahrenes Zuhause, das mit großen Hunden umgehen kann und ihm die nötige Sicherheit und Führung gibt. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Nero

What life with Nero looks like

Nero is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

A young 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. 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. Hope for Future 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 — Hope for Future 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 Hope for Future 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.
