How do I contact the shelter about Nicki?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stiftung vergessene Hunde 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 — Stiftung vergessene Hunde 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 Stiftung vergessene Hunde 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.

Hola, ich bin Nicki Am liebsten bin ich mittendrin statt nur dabei. Typisch für mein zartes Alter habe ich jede Menge Energie. Ich liebe Streicheleinheiten und bin sehr gesellig. Zurzeit finde ich es noch spannend Katzen zu verscheuchen. Allerdings könnte ich wohl lernen mit diesen andersartigen Vierbeinern zusammenzuleben. Jetzt wünsche ich mir ein Zuhause, in dem ich dazugehören darf, spielen, lernen und ganz viele schöne Momente und Kuschelstunden mit meinen Menschen erleben kann. Vielleicht bist genau du der Mensch, auf den ich warte? Über eine persönliche Anfrage würde ich mich sehr freuen! Herzliche Grüsse Ihr Nicki Nicki bedankt sich sehr herzlich bei seinem Götti Andy Schenkel für die grosszügige Unterstützung! Am liebsten bin ich mittendrin statt nur dabei.

About Nicki

What life with Nicki looks like

Nicki is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stiftung vergessene Hunde in Vergessene Hunde.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇨🇭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.
