Nickilein

Mixed Breed · Female

Nickilein our sweet female dog gave birth to four babies on 20.6.19. The photos were taken shortly after. The dear girl has a friendly, funny character and gets along well with her fellow animals. Cats are also welcome. She definitely needs company in her new home, and the smart female dog likes to try to be the leader of the pack. Being alone is difficult for her. Nickilein is a small "watchdog" and therefore not necessarily suitable for an apartment.

Nickilein unsere süße Hundedame hat am 20.6.19 vier Babys zur Welt gebracht. Die Fotos wurden kurze Zeit danach aufgenommen. Das liebe Mädel hat ein freundliches, lustiges Wesen und versteht sich prima mit ihren Artgenossen. Auch Katzen sind ihr willkommen. Sie benötigt im neuen Zuhause also unbedingt Gesellschaft, wobei die pfiffige Hündin gerne versucht die Chefin im Rudel zu sein. Alleine bleiben fällt ihr schwer. Nickilein ist ein kleiner “Wachhund” und daher nicht unbedingt für eine Stadtwohnung geeignet.

About Nickilein

What life with Nickilein looks like

Nickilein is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nickilein, answered.

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