Nico

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Kastriert: Nein, noch zu klein Rasse: Mischling (wir vermuten er wird mittelgroß) Verträglichkeit: Ja; Katzen: Nicht bekannt kann nicht getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Pirot (Serbien) Abgabegrund : Fundhund Der liebe Nico wurde gemeinsam mit seinem Brüderchen Berti als kleiner Welpe in einem Karton ausgesetzt gefunden. Die beiden waren damals ganz allein, verängstigt und ohne ihre Mutter. Trotz dieses schweren Starts ins Leben ist Nico ein ganz lieber verschmuster Bube, der hoffentlich nicht im Tierheim aufwachsen muss. Nun sucht er dringend ein eigenes Zuhause, bevor der harte serbische Winter beginnt, denn die Hunde müssen dort im Freien leben. Nico wünscht sich Menschen, die ihm mit Liebe, Geduld und Zeit die Welt zeigen. Interessenten sollten sich bewusst sein, dass ein Junghund noch vieles lernen muss und Erziehung, Beschäftigung und Zuwendung braucht. Man sollte über die entsprechende Zeit verfügen.

About Nico

What life with Nico looks like

Nico is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.v. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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.
