How do I contact the shelter about Nico?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. 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 — Herz für Ungarnhunde 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 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 Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. 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.

Adopt Nico

Mixed Breed · Male

Nico was often out alone in the city. His family was repeatedly told that it’s not good for him to be out alone, but to no avail. One day, Nico joined a couple with a dog and simply went with them to their house. The couple locked the garden door and informed our partner shelter. Nico’s owners were informed that he was at the animal shelter, but they showed no interest and did not pick him up. So now, Nico is searching for his forever home. At first, Nico was fearful and suspicious of everything. With some time passing, Nico has become much more open and can be well trained. He is very eager to learn and curious. Nico has become much more outgoing. Walking on a leash also works quite well. In his new home, Nico will still have to learn a lot, but he will certainly be happy to do so. Cats should not live in his new home, but he gets along well with other dogs. Contact: Anna Bachmann → WhatsApp or 4 videos Nico Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. Nico Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V.

Nico war öfter allein in der Stadt unterwegs. Seine Familie wurde mehrmals angesprochen, dass es nicht gut ist, wenn er allein unterwegs ist, jedoch ohne Erfolg. Eines Tages schloss sich Nico einem Paar mit Hund an und ging einfach mit ihnen bis zu ihrem Haus. Das Paar schloss die Tür vom Garten und informierte unser Partnertierheim. Nicos Besitzer wurden darüber informiert, dass er im Tierheim ist, aber sie zeigten kein Interesse und holten Nico auch nicht ab. So sucht nun Nico sein Für-Immer- Zuhause. Nico zeigte sich dort anfangs ängstlich und misstrauisch allem gegenüber. Mittlerweile ist einige Zeit vergangen und mit Nico konnte gut trainiert werden. Er ist sehr lernwillig und neugierig. Nico ist schon viel offener geworden. Auch an der Leine gehen, klappt schon ganz gut. In seinem neuen Zuhause wird Nico noch einiges lernen müssen, aber das wird er bestimmt gerne machen. Katzen sollten nicht in seinem neuen Zuhause leben, aber mit anderen Hunden ist er gut verträglich. Kontakt: Anna Bachmann → WhatsApp oder 4 videos Nico Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V.

About Nico

What life with Nico looks like

Nico is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. in Nörten-Hardenberg.

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.
