Nic

Border Collie · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Nic und Nora wurden von einem holländischen Ehepaar gefunden. Sie liefen auf einem Autokreisel und trauten sich nicht über die Straße. Die Beiden zögerten keinen Augenblick, hielten an und brachten die Kleinen in unser Kooperationstierheim, die Lida. Nic hatte Glück und konnte im September auf eine Pflegestelle nahe Bonn ziehen. Hier zeigt er sich sehr unkompliziert und gelehrig. Er versteht den Tagesablauf. Die vorhandenen Hunde (auch unkastrierte Rüden) und die Katzen sind kein Problem. Er fährt gut im Auto mit. Auf Spaziergängen zeigt er sich vorbildlich gegenüber anderen Hunden, er geht gut an der Leine. Wir suchen für Nic eine Familie bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen mit Garten. Gerne kann ein Hundekumpel schon im Zuhause leben. Sie sollten sich darüber bewusst sein, dass die Erziehung eines Junghundes Zeit und Geduld braucht, damit aus ihnen tolle Begleiter werden. Wir schätzen seine Endgröße auf ca. 55-58 cm. Wenn Sie mehr über Nic erfahren möchten, nehmen Sie gerne unverbindlich Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport. Die Hunde reisen mit TRACES.

About Nic

What life with Nic looks like

Nic is a large puppy/kitten border collie dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nic, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nic?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nic on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nic if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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 Nic 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 Nic 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 Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nic 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.
