Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Mischling Nico – kleiner Sonnenschein Der kleine Nico ist vor Kurzem auf seine Pflegestelle gezogen und zeigt dort, was für ein fröhlicher, lieber Kerl er ist. Mit seinen tapsigen Schritten erkundet er neugierig die Welt und bringt dabei ganz viel gute Laune mit. Nico ist eher der gemütliche Typ und genießt es, entspannt dabei zu sein. Besonders glücklich macht ihn eine ausgiebige Bauchmassage – da kann er richtig dahinschmelzen. Er ist schon fast stubenrein und läuft ganz prima an der Leine. Für kurze Zeit kann Nico mit seinem Hundekumpel schon alleine Zuhause bleiben. Auch die ersten Kommandos wie „Sitz“ und „Aus“ kennt er bereits und zeigt dabei, wie lernfreudig und aufmerksam er ist. Damit bringt Nico schon richtig schöne Voraussetzungen für sein neues Zuhause mit. Nico ist einfach ein kleiner Sonnenschein, der mit seinem freundlichen Wesen schnell Herzen erobert. Wer möchte diesem süßen Kerl ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken? Hier gehts zu Nicos Video Video 2

About Nico

What life with Nico looks like

Nico is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe 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. SALVA Hundehilfe 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 — SALVA Hundehilfe 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 SALVA Hundehilfe 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.
