How do I contact the shelter about Nick?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Fellnasen 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 — Ein Herz für Fellnasen 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

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 Ein Herz für Fellnasen 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.

Nick

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

I am Nick, and I hope to find my forever home. I was found during the Fârtănești action a few weeks ago. I was injured and had been struggling for a while. One of my front legs was broken and has unfortunately healed in a twisted position. One of my hind legs was also broken, and this injury is older and has already formed callus. My front leg cannot be operated on anymore. I try to keep my paw elevated while walking. Despite this, I don't let it affect my joy of life. I was even in Bucharest, as an NGO from Galați made my surgery possible. I was operated on by Dr. Elefterescu. Now I hope that things will get better step by step and that I can just be a happy dog. Although my body has gone through a lot, my heart remains soft. I am very gentle, friendly, and tolerant. I get along well with other dogs, and cats are no problem for me either. I hope people see beyond my limitations and see the wonderful dog behind them. I don't need a perfect life. I need love, security, patience, and people who accept me for who I am. In return, I promise to give you my whole heart. Maybe you are the family for me? Your Nick Handicap: Front leg cannot be operated on; it has healed in a twisted position after the break.

❤️ Hallo, ich bin Nick – und ich wünsche mir endlich ein Zuhause Hallo, ich bin Nick und vielleicht bist genau du der Mensch, auf den ich so lange gewartet habe. 🐾 Vor einigen Wochen wurde ich während der Fârtănești-Aktion gefunden. Ich war verletzt und hatte es vermutlich schon eine ganze Weile nicht leicht. Eines meiner Vorderbeine war gebrochen und ist leider in einer verdrehten Stellung verheilt. Auch eines meiner Hinterbeine war gebrochen – dieser Bruch ist schon älter und hatte bereits Kallus gebildet. Mein Vorderbein kann leider nicht mehr operiert werden. Ich entlaste es und halte meine Pfote beim Laufen meistens hoch. Trotzdem lasse ich mir davon nicht meine Lebensfreude nehmen. ❤️ Inzwischen war ich sogar in Bukarest, denn eine NGO aus Galați hat meine Operation ermöglicht. Dort wurde ich von Dr. Elefterescu operiert. Nun hoffe ich, dass es Schritt für Schritt weiter bergauf geht und ich irgendwann einfach nur noch eines sein darf: ein glücklicher Hund. Denn obwohl mein Körper einiges mitgemacht hat, ist mein Herz ganz weich geblieben. Ich bin sehr sanftmütig, freundlich und verträglich. Mit anderen Hunden komme ich gut zurecht und auch Katzen sind für mich kein Problem. 🐶🐱 Ich wünsche mir Menschen, die nicht nur meine kleinen Einschränkungen sehen, sondern den wunderbaren Hund, der dahintersteckt. Ich brauche kein perfektes Leben. Ich brauche Liebe, Sicherheit, Geduld und Menschen, die mich so nehmen, wie ich bin. Dafür verspreche ich, mein ganzes kleines Hundeherz zu schenken. ❤️ Vielleicht bist du genau diese Familie für mich? Dein Nick 🐾 Handicap: Vorderbein kann nicht operiert werden; es ist nach dem Bruch in verdrehter Position verheilt. 😥

About Nick

What life with Nick looks like

Nick is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. in Waakirchen.

An young 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.
