Adopt Nika

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 3 months

Nika – lively, playful young female dog Nika came to our animal shelter with her mother and brother. The mother is 42 cm tall, and the father is unknown. We can imagine that a Mudi or Mudi mix "mixed in" somewhere. Nika is an alert, happy, and curious young female dog, truly ready to explore the world! On our farm, Nika interacts with various people; women, men, and also children. She is petted, held, and lifted up. The little one plays with her brother and also meets adult dogs. Since the animal shelter is located near a busy road, she is also accustomed to car noise. Nika learns about a leash and a harness; we practice walking her on a leash and also playfully exercise her with different devices and ground surfaces. For Nika, we are looking for people who are aware that time, patience, and friendly consistency are needed to accompany a young dog in its development. People who have this time and joy in showing Nika more of the world and growing together with her into a real team. Attending a good dog training class and later finding a suitable placement would also be certainly beneficial. Nika is an alert, happy, unbridled, and curious young female dog, truly ready to explore the world! Nika can depart by the end of June. Direct adoption upon arrival in Switzerland or picking her up in Hungary is preferred. We are very happy to provide further information! As she was too young for spaying at the time of surrender, she will be spayed with spaying requirements.

Nika – quirlige, lustige Junghündin Nika kam zusammen mit ihrer Mutter und ihrem Bruder auf unseren Tierschutzhof. Die Mutter ist 42 cm gross, der Vater ist unbekannt. Nika ist eine aufgeweckte, fröhliche und neugierige junge Hündin, so richtig bereit, die Welt zu entdecken! Bei uns auf dem Hof hat Nika Kontakt mit verschiedenen Menschen; Frauen, Männern und auch Kindern. Sie wird gestreichelt, auch mal festgehalten und hochgehoben. Die Kleine spielt mit ihrem Bruder und lernt auch erwachsene Hunde kennen. Da das Tierheim an einer gut befahrenen Strasse liegt, ist sie sich auch Autolärm gewohnt. Nika lernt Halsband und Gstältli kennen, wir üben mit ihr das Laufen an der Leine und machen auch spielerische Übungen mit verschiedenen Geräten und Untergründen. Für Nika suchen wir Menschen, die sich bewusst sind, dass man Zeit, Geduld und freundliche Konsequenz braucht, um einen jungen Hund in seiner Entwicklung zu begleiten. Menschen, die über diese Zeit verfügen und die Freude haben, Nika noch viel von der Welt zu zeigen und mit ihr zu einem richtigen Team zusammen zu wachsen. Auch der Besuch einer guten Hundeschule und später vielleicht eine passende Auslastung wäre sicher sinnvoll. Nika ist eine aufgeweckte, fröhliche, unbeschwerte und neugierige junge Hündin, so richtig bereit, die Welt zu entdecken! Nika kann Ende Juni ausreisen. Bevorzugt wird Direktadoption bei Ankunft in der Schweiz oder auch selber Abholen in Ungarn ist möglich. Wir geben sehr gerne nähere Auskunft! Da sie bei Abgabe noch zu jung ist für eine Kastration wird sie mit Kastrationspflicht vermittelt.

About Nika

What life with Nika looks like

Nika is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs in Yourheart4dogs.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nika, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nika?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nika on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nika if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs 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 Nika 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 Nika 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 Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nika 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.
