Nero

German Shorthaired Pointer · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Male, not yet neutered Born around January 21, 2026 Shepherd mix breed In growth: currently height around 36 cm / weight around 6 kgPflegestelle Spain: Refugio AmpostaOn May 5, 2026, the cheeky, lively puppy Nero left the Perrera in Vinaros and traveled to Monika's shelter. We can't imagine why such a little bundle was given up. Daniela was present upon his arrival and could witness how Nero immediately got along well with our buddy. He moves around confidently and without fear of the bigger dogs in the small pack. We can only guess what breeds may have contributed to Nero. We estimate that he will grow to be medium to large-sized when fully grown. Nero shows friendliness towards humans, is puppy-like playful, and can already assert himself when he wants something. For young male dogs, we wish for people with time and patience who are aware of the responsibility for a puppy from animal protection and who want to raise and accompany Nero's growth with love but consistency. Nero should be introduced to new environmental stimuli in his new home and continue to have the opportunity to interact with fellow animals. Can you imagine offering the young pup a safe environment? Then contact us via email right away.

Männlich, noch nicht kastriert Geboren ca. 21.01.2026 Schäfer Mischling Im Wachstum: zurzeit Höhe ca. 36 cm / Gewicht ca. 6 kgPflegestelle Spanien: Refugio AmpostaAm 05.Mai 2026 durfte das freche, aufgeweckte Hundekind Nero die Perrera in Vinaros verlassen und zu Monika ins Refugio reisen. Wieso der kleine Schnügel da abgegeben wurde können wir uns nicht vorstellen. Daniela war bei seiner Ankunft vor Ort und konnte miterleben, wie sich Nero sogleich gut mit unserem Buddy verstanden hat. Sehr selbstsicher und ohne scheu vor den grösseren Hunden bewegt er sich im kleinen Rudel. Was genau für Rassen bei Nero mitgewirkt haben können wir nur erahnen. Wir schätzen, dass er ausgewachsen mittelgross bis gross wird. Dem Menschen gegenüber zeigt sich Nero freundlich, ist welpentypisch verspielt und kann sich auch schon ganz ordentlich durchsetzen wenn er etwas möchte.Für den jungen Rüden wünschen wir uns Menschen mit Zeit und Geduld, die sich der Verantwortung für einen Welpen aus dem Tierschutz bewusst sind und Nero liebevoll aber konsequent erziehen und ins Erwachsenwerden begleiten wollen. Nero sollte im neuen zu Hause an Umweltreize herangeführt werden und weiterhin die Gelegenheit bekommen mit Artgenossen zu interagieren. Kannst du dir vorstellen dem Jungspund ein sicheres Umfeld zu bieten, dann melde dich gleich per Email bei uns.

About Nero

What life with Nero looks like

Nero is a medium-sized puppy/kitten german shorthaired pointer dog waiting at ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz in Switzerland.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

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. ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz 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 — ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz 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 ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz 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.
