Nicki

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Male, not neutered Born approximately 15.01.2026 Mixed breed Height currently approximately 36 cm / Weight approximately 5.5 kg Foster home Spain: Refugio Amposta On July 13, 2026, the handsome mixed-breed puppy Nicki was allowed to move from the Perrera in Vinaros to Monika at the Refugio. As with most dogs from the Perrera, we unfortunately do not know much about his past. The little male is friendly towards his fellow dogs and gets along well with them. He approaches people openly, but needs a moment before he can enjoy petting. Overall, Nicki is a rather quiet young dog who does not push himself forward. For the lovable puppy, we are looking for a home where he can be slowly introduced to life in a household with time and patience and gradually exposed to environmental stimuli. He should also continue to have contact with other dogs. A good dog school where Nicki is supported in everyday socialization is welcome. If you feel drawn to the handsome Nicki, please feel free to contact us by email.

Männlich, noch nicht kastriert Geboren ca. 15.01.2026 Mischling Höhe zurzeit ca. 36 cm / Gewicht ca. 5.5 kgPflegestelle Spanien: Refugio AmpostaAus der Perrera in Vinaros durfte am 13. Juli 2026 der hübsche Mischlinsbub Nicki zu Monika ins Refugio umziehen. Wie bei den meisten Hunden aus der Perrera wissen wir leider auch bei ihm nicht viel über seine Vergangenheit. Der kleine Rüde zeigt sich seinen Artgenossen gegenüber freundlich und kommt mit allen gut aus. Menschen begegnet er aufgeschlossen, braucht jedoch einen Moment, bis er Streicheleinheiten geniessen kann. Alles in allem ist Nicki ein eher ruhiger Junghund, der sich nicht in den Vordergrund drängt.Für den liebenswerten Schnügel suchen wir ein zu Hause wo er mit Zeit und Geduld an das Leben in einem Haushalt gewöhnt und langsam an Umweltreize herangeführt wird. Auch sollte er weiterhin Kontakt zu anderen Hunden haben dürfen. Eine gute Hundeschule, wo Nicki in der Alltagssozialisierung gefördert wird, darf gerne besucht werden. Fühlst du dich vom hübschen Nicki angesprochen, dann melde dich gerne per E-mail bei uns.

About Nicki

What life with Nicki looks like

Nicki is a puppy/kitten mixed breed 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 Nicki, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nicki?
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 Nicki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nicki 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 Nicki 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 Nicki 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 Nicki 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.
