Nicky

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Nicky ist eine aufgeschlossene und lebhafte junge Hündin. Sie durfte mit einem kleinen Reisetrupp aus der Smeura zu uns reisen und man merkt ihr an, dass sie einiges nachzuholen hat. Sie liebt es zu toben, zu rennen, zu balgen und hat dabei immer den Schalk im Nacken. Sie ist mit anderen Hunden gut verträglich, kann aber bestimmt etwas nervig sein, weshalb ein vorhandener Hundekollege ein ähnliches Naturell mitbringen sollte - oder eben souverän genug, ihr Grenzen zu setzen. Nicky ist auch zu uns Menschen offen und freundlich und sehr verschmust. Sie hat allerdings nicht immer ganz so viel Zeit zu kuscheln, wenn grad irgendwo anders eine Party ist ;- ) Auch erste Spaziergänge hat sie bereits mit Bravour gemeistert. Keine Frage: Nicky ist bereit für ein eigenes Zuhause. Sie wünscht sich aktive Menschen mit Hundeverstand, die Lust und Zeit haben, ihr zu zeigen, was das Leben so bereit hält. Menschen, die ist Struktur und Leitplanken geben können und Freude an einer hübschen, agilen und freundlichen Hündin haben. Ob Nicky Katzen kennt und mag können wir leider nicht testen.

About Nicky

What life with Nicky looks like

Nicky is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt in Essen.

A young 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 — 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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.
