Nicoletta

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Nicoletta and Nicolina were found by a man in the bushes next to a parking lot. He had stopped there briefly for a break when he heard a whimpering sound. The two were sitting in a thorn bush. Nicoletta could not move; she had broken a leg and a foot. Both were taken to the clinic immediately. Nicolina was unharmed, but her sister had to undergo surgery. Now everything has healed well, and the two sweet little pups are looking for a home. Nicoletta is a whirlwind, a happy-go-lucky dog. She wants to play, run, and cuddle – and all of it together. She approaches people without a care. It seems as though she has never experienced anything bad. Her wounds have healed, and it looks as though she wants to make up for the time she had to spend in a cage after the operation. For Nicoletta we are looking for a family or single person with dog experience and a garden, who is aware that raising a puppy takes time and patience so that it becomes a wonderful family dog and companion. A first-time dog may live in the family. Children should be of primary school age and know how to handle animals responsibly, as puppies are not toys. We estimate her adult height at 55–60 cm. If you would like to learn more about Nicoletta, please feel free to get in touch without obligation. All dogs are microchipped, vaccinated upon departure, and travel with an EU pet passport in a transport registered with the German veterinary office. The dogs travel with TRACES.

Nicoletta und Nicolina wurden von einem Mann im Gebüsch neben einem Parkplatz gefunden. Er hielt dort kurz für eine Pause an und hörte dann ein Wimmern. Die beiden saßen im Dornengebüsch. Nicoletta konnte sich nicht bewegen. Sie hatte ein Bein und einen Fuß gebrochen. Beide wurden sofort in die Klinik gefahren. Nicolina war unversehrt, doch ihre Schwester musste operiert werden. Nun ist alles gut verheilt und die beiden süßen Mäuse suchen ein Zuhause. Nicoletta ist ein Wirbelwind, ein Gute-Laune-Hund. Sie möchte spielen, laufen, schmusen – und das alles zusammen. Unbekümmert geht sie auf Menschen zu. Es scheint, als hätte sie nichts Schlechtes erlebt. Ihre Wunden sind verheilt und es sieht so aus, als wolle sie die Zeit, in der sie aufgrund der OP im Käfig sitzen musste, nachholen. Wir suchen für Nicoletta eine Familie oder Einzelperson mit Hundeerfahrung und Garten, die sich bewusst ist, dass die Erziehung eines Welpen Zeit und Geduld fordert, damit aus ihm ein toller Familienhund und Begleiter wird. Gerne kann ein Ersthund in der Familie leben. Kinder sollten im Grundschulalter sein und den verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Tieren kennen, denn Welpen sind kein Spielzeug. Wir schätzen ihre Endgröße auf 55-60 cm. Wenn Sie mehr über Nicoletta erfahren möchten, nehmen Sie gerne unverbindlich Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport. Die Hunde reisen mit TRACES.

About Nicoletta

What life with Nicoletta looks like

Nicoletta is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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 Nicoletta, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nicoletta?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nicoletta on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nicoletta if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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 Nicoletta 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 Nicoletta 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 Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nicoletta 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.
