Nico

Dachshund · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Nico wurde zusammen mit seiner Mama und seinem Papa abgegeben.. Angeblich konnte man sich nicht mehr um die Hunde kümmern. Es sind Mama, Papa und das Kind, die nun in unserem Kooperationstierheim sitzen und hoffen, dass sie gesehen werden und sich die Gittertür für immer öffnet. Nico ist ein typischer Welpenjunge, verspielt, neugierig, aber auch zuerst etwas zurückhaltend. Er lebt nun mit anderen Welpen zusammen und muss sich erst einmal zurecht finden. Für ihn wünschen wir uns besonders schnell ein Zuhause, da das Tierheimleben für ihn nicht einfach ist. Nico sieht genauso aus wie Mama Monica. Wir suchen für Nico eine Familie oder Einzelperson, die sich darüber bewusst aus, dass die Erziehung eines Junghundes Zeit und Geduld braucht. Nico kennt nichts und muss an alles herangeführt werden. Gerne kann ein Ersthund in der Familie leben. Kinder sollten schon älter sein, denn Nico ist kein Spielzeug. Haben Sie Fragen zu Nico, dann nehmen Sie gerne Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport.

About Nico

What life with Nico looks like

Nico is a small puppy/kitten dachshund dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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 Nico, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nico?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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 — Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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 Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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 (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.
