Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

clingy to the primary caregiver, territorial NEO SUCHT EIN NEUES ZUHAUSE FÜR MENSCHEN MIT HUNDEERFAHRUNG 3-year-old male dog, unneutered, medium-sized, mixed breed (HSH anteilig), street dog from Romania Neo came to me at 6 months old. Here, he learned basic dog training and knows some basic commands. In his family, he shows compatibility and is very cuddly overall. With his dog friends, he is playful, but he does not get along with all dogs. Neo is an insecure dog who unfortunately does not know how to back up. He needs structure and clear commands. One must be able to read his behavior, as his can change, and unfortunately, there have also been biting incidents. Work has been done on this, and he is accustomed to wearing a muzzle. In the office, he could stay alone and reliably went into his box. Neo means work, but it is work that pays off. He is a young, lively dog who only seeks the right environment. Due to significant changes in my life, I can no longer offer Neo the security he needs to prevent him from falling into extreme protective and watchful modes. Reluctantly, I have decided to search for a new home for him. The new home should be without children and without cats. A rural area could benefit him, as the current high dynamics and encounters with dogs and people still put him under a lot of stress. Neo displays the typical behavior of a herding breed (HSH) in terms of guarding and protecting. However, no pronounced hunting behavior has been observed so far. Neo does not tolerate every type of dog food, as I have noticed. There is a suspicion of a contact allergy. Neo is very skeptical of strangers. __ If interested, you can contact me. He can also be visited and met here.

anhänglich zu der Bezugsperson, territorital NEO SUCHT EIN NEUES ZUHAUSE FÜR MENSCHEN MIT HUNDEERFAHRUNG 3 jähriger Rüde, unkastriert, mittelgroß, Mischling (HSH anteilig), Straßenhund aus Rumänien Neo kam mit 6 Monaten zu mir. Hier lernte er das Hunde 1x1 und kennt einige Grundkommandos. In seiner Familie zeigt er sich verträglich und insgesamt sehr verschmust. Mit seinen Hundefreunden ist er verspielt, allerdings kommt er nicht mit allen Hunden klar. Neo ist ein unsicherer Hund, der leider nicht den Rückwärtsgang kennt. Er benötigt Struktur und klare Kommandos. Man muss ihn lesen können, da sein Verhalten umschlagen kann und es leider auch schon zu Beißvorfällen kam. Hieran wurde gearbeitet und er ist an das Tragen eines Maulkorbs gewöhnt. Im Büro konnte er gut alleine bleiben und geht zuverlässig in seine Box. Neo bedeutet Arbeit, die sich allerdings auszahlt. Er ist ein junger lebendiger Hund, der nur das richtige Umfeld sucht. Aufgrund von großen Veränderungen in meinem Leben, kann ich Neo nicht mehr die Sicherheit bieten, die er benötigt, damit er nicht in den extremen Schutz- und Wachmodus fällt. Schweren Herzens habe ich mich deshalb dazu entschieden, ein neues Zuhause für Ihn zu suchen. Das neue Zuhause sollte ohne Kinder und ohne Katzen sein. Eine ländliche Gegend könnte ihm guttun, da viel Dynamik und Begegnungen mit Hunden und Menschen ihn derzeit noch sehr unter Stress setzt. Neo zeigt auf Grund seines großen Herdenschutzhund (HSH) Anteils das rassetypische Verhalten zum Bewachen und Beschützen. Hingegen war bislang kein ausgeprägtes Jagdverhalten ersichtlich. Neo verträgt nicht jedes Hundefutter, darum barfe ich. Es besteht der Verdacht auf eine Kontaktallergie. Neo ist Fremden gegenüber sehr skeptisch ____ Bei Interesse könnt ihr euch gerne an mich wenden. Er kann auch bei uns besucht und kennen gelernt werden.

About Niclas

What life with Niclas looks like

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

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 Niclas, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Niclas?
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 Niclas on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Niclas 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Niclas 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 Niclas 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 Niclas 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.
