Adopt NICAN

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Help NICAN find a home - share this with your friends ❤️ When we rescued NICAN from the killing, he was very unsure. Today he shows himself to be open, trusting, and very people-oriented, seeking and enjoying human company. He loves to snuggle and would rather be very close to his humans. Those who give NICAN attention receive a lot of love in return. The loving male dog is currently staying in a dog pension with two female dogs and another male dog. It works very well. He also handles the leash very well already. Cats currently seem a bit scary to NICAN. He prefers to ignore them rather than chase them. NICAN is an active, friendly, and affectionate dog, ready now for his own home. We wish for him people with heart who give him security and continue to accompany him lovingly through life. A existing female dog would be easy to imagine, but NICAN would also feel comfortable as a single prince. Who will give this little heart dog his happy ending? Origin:

Hilf NICAN, ein Zuhause zu finden - teile dies mit deinen Freunden ❤️ Als wir NICAN aus der Tötung holten, war er total unsicher. Heute zeigt er sich als aufgeschlossener, zutraulicher und sehr menschenbezogener Hund, der die Nähe zum Menschen sucht und genießt. Er liebt es zu kuscheln und würde am liebsten ganz nah bei seinen Menschen sein. Wer ihm Aufmerksamkeit schenkt, bekommt von NICAN ganz viel Liebe zurück. Der liebe Rüde lebt aktuell in einer Hundepension mit zwei Hündinnen und einem weiteren Rüden zusammen. Das klappt wunderbar. Auch an der Leine macht er sich schon richtig gut. Katzen findet NICAN derzeit noch etwas unheimlich. Er ignoriert sie aber lieber, als dass er sie jagen würde. NICAN ist ein aktiver, freundlicher und verschmuster Hund, der nun endlich bereit ist für sein eigenes Zuhause. Wir wünschen uns für ihn Menschen mit Herz, die ihm Geborgenheit schenken und ihn weiter liebevoll durchs Leben begleiten. Eine vorhandene Hündin können wir uns gut vorstellen, aber auch als Einzelprinz würde sich NICAN sicher wohlfühlen. Wer schenkt diesem kleinen Herzenshund sein Happy End?

About NICAN

What life with NICAN looks like

NICAN is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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. 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 NICAN, answered.

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