Nero

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

NERO/Rüde Herdenschutzhund Mix born: 08.03.2014 Size: approx. 65 cm Weight: approx. 35 kg microchipped: yes, vaccinated: yes When you look at Nero's photos, your heart opens up. Nero runs wild in the open, then he gets a few pats. It looks like he has a smile on his face. Finally, he can enjoy life. This was not always the case, because Nero had to spend a long time of his life on a chain. He had actually given up on people. When we met him, he was highly aggressive. But with patience and affection, Nero has undergone a huge transformation. - From chain dog to cuddly bear. He now begs for pats. When you pass by his kennel, he tries to catch you with his paws. Nero is a strong dog (probably a herding mix), who needs a lot of space and still has a lot to learn. For him, we are looking for people who have experience with herding dogs and want to accompany Nero on his further life path with love and patience.

NERO/Rüde Herdenschutzhund Mix geb.: 08.03.2014 Größe: ca. 65 cm Gewicht: ca. 35 kg gechipt.: ja, - geimpft.: ja Wenn man sich die Fotos von Nero anschaut geht einem das Herz auf. Nero tobt sich im Freilauf richtig aus,zwischendurch holt er sich ein paar Streicheleinheiten ab. Es sieht aus als hat er ein Lächeln im Gesicht. Endlich kann er das Leben genießen. Das war nämlich nicht immer so, denn Nero musste lange Zeit seines Lebens an der Kette verbringen. Eigentlich hatte er mit den Menschen schon abgeschlossen. Als wir ihn kennen lernten war er hochgradig aggressiv. Aber mit Geduld und Zuneigung hat Nero eine riesige Verwandlung durchgemacht. - Vom Kettenhund zum Schmusebär. Inzwischen bettelt er um Streicheleinheiten. Wenn man an seinem Zwinger vorbei kommt, versucht er einen mit den Pfoten zu angeln. Nero ist ein kräftiger Hund (vermutlich Herdenschutzmix), der viel Platz braucht und auch noch einiges lernen muss. Für ihn suchen wir Menschen, die Erfahrung mit Herdenschutz Hunden haben und Nero mit Liebe und Geduld auf dem weiteren Lebensweg begleiten wollen.

About Nero

What life with Nero looks like

Nero is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Active Friends for People and Dogs in Romania.

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 Romania

Romanian rescues handle the highest volume of cross-border adoptions in the EU. Many rescues vet animals before transport. Ask the shelter for the animal's health records and what follow-up it offers after adoption.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nero, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nero?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Active Friends for People and Dogs 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?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Active Friends for People and Dogs whether they will for Nero, what they require (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?
Active Friends for People and Dogs lists Nero as vaccinated and microchipped. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Active Friends for People and Dogs, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Nero isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Active Friends for People and Dogs about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
