Nico

Male · Baby · 3 months

I am Nico... I was found and now I'm looking for a great new forever home. I am healthy and have already been neutered (neuter deadline is August 17th). Guinea pigs are lively and curious animals that live in large groups in their native South America. They are always kept in pairs, and it's even better with more animals. Important: A rabbit cannot replace a guinea pig partner! We appreciate a varied environment, many hiding places and need about 4 to 5 hours of free run daily. For two animals, at least 2 square meters are needed indoors. Would you like to give me a place? If you're interested, please fill out the request form below or call my caregivers from 1-4 pm daily except Saturdays.

Ich bin Nico … wurde gefunden und wünsche mir nun ein tolles neues Für-immer-Zuhause. Ich bin gesund und wurde bereits kastriert (Kastrationsfrist bis 17. August). Meerschweinchen sind aufgeweckte und entdeckungsfreudige Tiere, die in ihrer Heimat Südamerika in großen Gruppen leben. Sie werden immer mindestens zu zweit gehalten, besser sind mehr Tiere. Wichtig: Ein Kaninchen kann den Meerschweinchenpartner nicht ersetzen! Wir schätzen eine abwechslungsreiche Umgebung, viele Versteckmöglichkeiten und brauchen täglich etwa 4 bis 5 Stunden Freilauf. Für zwei Tiere sind bei Innenhaltung mindestens 2 qm nötig. Möchtest du mir ein Plätzchen schenken? Bei Interesse fülle gern das untenstehende Anfrageformular aus oder ruf meine Tierpfleger:innen an unter tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Nico

What life with Nico looks like

Nico is a large puppy/kitten animal waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

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. Tierheim Berlin 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 — Tierheim Berlin 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 Tierheim Berlin 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.
