Adopt Nico

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Nico is a five-year-old mixed breed, weighing 14 kilograms. The owner dropped him off at the shelter, having taken him as a one-year-old from another shelter. Nico is not a dog who joyfully approaches every person. He is initially distrustful of strangers and needs time to get used to you and find his own way to connect with his person at his own pace. There are people he will not accept, but we have not yet figured out his selection. He will probably be a dog for one person. To people he knows, he is affectionate and likes to be petted. He can work well with a person, but he needs to be well rested. He has days when he just doesn't feel like it. It is more difficult to motivate him because he is not very food-motivated. He is clean, walks well on a leash (he loves walks). He knows sit, lie down, come, and responds to his name. He does not like big dogs, and he tends to ignore small ones. Handling him is more complicated - ideally, do not expect too much from him and give him his own space and peace, where no one will interfere too much. If he does not like something, he can snap with his teeth. He will definitely be a dog for a quiet, small family (ideally without children).

Nico je pětiletý kříženec, váhy 14 kilo. Do útulku jej odložil majitel, který si ho jako ročního vzal z jiného útulku. Nico není pejsek, který se s radostí přiřítí ke každému člověku. K cizím lidem je zpočátku nedůvěřivý a je potřeba, aby si na vás zvykl a měl dost času si ke svému člověku najít cestu jeho vlastním tempem. Jsou i lidi, které nepřijme, ale zatím jsme nerozklíčovali jeho výběr. Bude to spíš pejsek, jednoho člověka". K lidem, které zná, je kontaktní a mazlivý a má rád drbání. Umí hezky spolupracovat s člověkem, ale musí se na to dobře vyspat. Má dny, kdy se mu prostě nechce. Namotivovat ho bývá obtížnější, protože není moc žravý. Je čistotný, zvládá chůzi na vodítku (procházky má moc rád). Umí sedni, lehni, pocem, reaguje na své jméno. Velké psy nemá rád, ty malé spíš ignoruje. Manipulace s ním je komplikovanější - ideálně toho po něm moc nechtít a dopřát mu i jeho vlastní místo a jeho vlasntí klid, do kterého mu nebude nikdo moc zasahovat. Když se mu něco nelíbí, umí se ohnat zuby. Určitě to bude pes do klidné, málopočetné rodiny (ideálně bez dětí). Dogpoint o.p.s.Milánská 452109 00 Praha 15.

About Nico

What life with Nico looks like

Nico is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogpoint in Malotice-Kostelec nad Černými lesy.

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 Czech Republic

Czech shelters (útulky) include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID. The adopter signs a written contract (smlouva) — the shelter may follow up to verify wellbeing.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nico, answered.

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