Adopt Nico

Dachshund · Male

Compatible with other animals? Can be alone for some hours? A challenge for dachshund fans, our little Nico has it in his bones! Nico had been rehomed a few times already, in the early days, Nico shows his best side in the new home. Once Nico settles in and analyzes his new owners, he uses the weaknesses he discovers and, with the help of his teeth, asserts his will. All previous owners were ultimately overwhelmed by the willfully strong fellow. He demands resources and defends them. This means Nico needs a consistent, clear line from the start, and one must not be swayed by his initial "docility." Thanks to his "regular walker," Nico has good obedience and shows great friendliness and eagerness to learn! Nico is compatible with other animals, but as he presents a challenge, a single place would be preferable to focus entirely on Nico's everyday education. Nico's left front leg shows a dislocation, whether it is congenital or due to a previous injury, we cannot say. Nico is not restricted in movement by the dislocation and is pain-free. Nico will only be rehomed with experienced dachshund owners, and the help of an expert must be factored into the education process!

Verträglich mit anderen Tieren? Kann einige Stunden alleine sein? Eine Herausforderung für Dackelfans, unser kleiner Nico hat es faustdick hinter den Ohren! Nico war schon einige Male vermittelt, in der Anfangszeit zeigt sich Nico im neuen Zuhause von seiner besten Seite. Ist er erst einmal angekommen und hat seine neuen Halter analysiert, nutzt er die entdeckten Schwächen und setzt, unter Einsatz seiner Zähne, seinen Willen durch. Alle bisherigen Halter waren schlussendlich mit dem willensstarken Burschen überfordert. Er beansprucht Ressourcen und verteidigt diese dann auch. Das heißt, Nico braucht von Anfang an eine ganz konsequente, klare Linie und man darf sich nicht durch seine anfängliche „Leichtigkeit“ beeinflussen lassen. Dank seiner „Stammgassigängerin“ hat Nico einen guten Grundgehorsam und zeigt sich ihr gegenüber sehr freundlich und lernt mit Begisterung! Nico ist mit Artgenossen verträglich, da er aber eine Herausforderung darstellt, wäre ein Einzelplatz zu bevorzugen, um sich ganz auf Nico´s Erziehung im Alltag konzentrieren zu können. Nico´s linkes Vorderbein zeigt eine Fehlstellung, ob diese angeboren oder auf eine zurückliegende Verletzung zurück zu führen ist, können wir nicht sagen. Nico ist durch die Fehlstellung nicht in seiner Bewegung eingeschränkt und ist schmerzfrei. Nico wird nur an erfahrene Hundehalter vermittelt, die Zuhilfenahme eines Experten muss bei der Erziehung mit einkalkuliert werden!

About Nico

What life with Nico looks like

Nico is a small adult dachshund animal waiting at Tierschutz Celle in Celle.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Nico far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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. Tierschutz Celle 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 — Tierschutz Celle 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 animals 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 Tierschutz Celle 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.
