Nicky

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

This little puppy was found abandoned at the entrance of a farm with a sibling puppy. They were just barely 8 weeks old. At the shelter, they were taken in, medically attended to, and well-fed. Nicki is a cheerful puppy, playing all day with everyone and falling utterly tired into the dog bed at night. But it's time for Nicki to go to a home, he still has to learn everything to experience a happy dog life.

DE·Show original

Dieser kleine Welpe wurde mit einem Geschwisterwelpen verlassen am Eingang einer Farm gefunden. Sie waren gerade mal 8 Wochen. Im Refugium wurden sie aufgenommen, tierärztlich versorgt und aufgepäppelt. Nicki ist ein fröhlicher Welpe, den ganzen Tag spielen mit allen und jeden, um am Abend todmüde ins Körbchen zu fallen. Aber es wird Zeit das Nicki ein zu Hause bekommt, er muss noch alles lernen um ein glückliches Hundeleben zu erfahren.

About Nicky

What life with Nicky looks like

Nicky is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

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 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 Nicky, answered.

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