How do I contact the shelter about Nicki?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Lucky Dog Hostel 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 — Lucky Dog Hostel 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 Lucky Dog Hostel 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.

RUN FREE dear Nicki 18 October 2019 In the sky shines a new star….. ⭐️ How do we find the right words, it hurts so much. This year, already five of our beloved senior dogs have crossed the rainbow bridge. Dear Nicki, you jumped into our hearts over two years ago, enchanted us with your sweet, feisty nature. In the last half a year, you often fought, were a little stepladder, and didn't want to go. But on Wednesday, you clearly showed us that you want to embark on your last journey, and we fulfilled your wish with heavy hearts…... Loving means also letting go. You are 16 years old, a fighter, simply a great dog. Come over the rainbow bridge, you sweet treasure, our little Stuppsmaus, we love you, you will always be in our hearts. Thank you for the beautiful time with you.

RUN FREE liebe Nicki 18. Oktober 2019 Am Himmel strahlt ein neuer Stern….. ⭐️ Wie sollen wir die richtigen Worte finden, es tut so weh. Nun sind dieses Jahr schon fünf unserer geliebten Hundesenioren über die Regenbogenbrücke gegangen. Liebe Nicki, du bist vor über zwei Jahren in unser Herz gesprungen, hast uns mit deiner süßen, taffen Art verzaubert. Das letzte halbe Jahr hast du öfters gekämpft, warst ein kleines Stehaufmädel und wolltest noch nicht gehen. Am Mittwoch hast du uns aber deutlich gezeigt, das du deine letzte Reise antreten möchtest, diesen Wunsch haben wir dir schweren Herzens erfüllt….. Lieben heißt auch loslassen .Du bist 16 Jahre alt geworden, warst eine Kämpferin, einfach ein toller Hund. Komm gut über die Regenbogenbrücke du süßer Schatz, unsere kleine Stuppsmaus, wir haben dich lieb, du bleibst immer in unseren Herzen. Danke für die schöne Zeit mit dir.

About Nicki

What life with Nicki looks like

Nicki is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Lucky Dog Hostel in Osterholz Scharmbeck.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
