Nick

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Nick kam zu uns, nachdem sein Besitzer verstorben ist.Der hübsche Rüde zeigt sich Menschen gegenüber grundsätzlich freundlich.Beschäftigt man sich mit ihm, zeigt er aber schnell, dass er bisher nicht viel Erziehung bekommen hat und nicht viel kennt. Er springt einen oft pöbelnd an und bellt, wenn er seinen Willen nicht bekommt. Fahrräder, Autos und andere Hunde werden beim Gassigehen angebellt und er geht stark in die Leine, wenn er die Möglichkeit dazu hat.Lässt man dies von Anfang an nicht zu und führt ihn sicher und klar durch Situationen, zeigt er das Verhalten weniger. Man muss ihn hierbei aber frühzeitig lesen können und einschreiten, bevor er anfängt zu pöbeln, da er sich sonst in die Situation hereinsteigert.Nick zeigt sich grundsätzlich lernwillig und begreift sehr schnell, was man von ihm möchte.Er sollte auf jeden Fall in ein hundeerfahrenes Zuhause, bestenfalls auch zu jemandem mit Erfahrung mit willensstarken Hütehunden, zu Menschen, die sich gut durchsetzen können und sich nicht von ihm auf der Nase herumtanzen lassen. 😊Mit anderen Hunden kommt Nick bedingt und unter Anleitung aus, als Zweithund würden wir ihn allerdings nicht vermitteln.Es sollten keine Kinder in Nicks neuem Zuhause leben. Wie er mit anderen Haustieren auskommt, können wir nicht mit Sicherheit sagen.

About Nick

What life with Nick looks like

Nick is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Dreieich e.V. in Dreieich.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nick, answered.

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