Niki

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 8 months

March 2022 | In Growth | Foster Home Bremen Niki is a small dog of 8 months. That he is alive is almost a miracle. Niki had a severe car accident in which he received a very strong blow to the head. He was in a coma and fought his way back to life step by step over weeks. Unfortunately, his eyesight is still limited, but for Niki this is no problem at all. He happily walks through life without bumping into anything and finds his way around very well. He has been in a foster home near Bremen since November 12th. There he is seen as a very loving and quiet puppy. He gets along very well with the other dogs living there and has few demands. Niki is happy just to be part of it. He is currently learning to be housebroken and the basics of being a dog. He is doing very well so far. He looks curiously at the rabbits and guinea pigs at the foster home and even follows them, but he is absolutely kind and careful. He is a really quiet little guy who moves through life rather slowly. When he has his five minutes of energy, he can also be quick. He currently measures about 30 cm at the shoulder, and is likely to grow to about 40 cm. PAW HEROES e.V. Email: © 2022 PAW HEROES e.V. – All Rights Reserved.

März 2022| Im Wachstum | Pflegestelle Bremen Niki ist ein kleiner Hundemann von 8 Monaten. Dass er lebt, grenzt an ein Wunder. Niki hatte einen schweren Autounfall, bei dem er einen sehr starken Schlag an den Kopf abbekommen hat. Er lag im Koma und hat sich über Wochen, Schritt für Schritt zurück ins Leben zurück gekämpft. Leider ist sein Sehenvermögen dadurch immer noch eingeschränkt, für Niki stellt es aber überhaupt kein Problem dar. Er läuft fröhlich durch das Leben ohne irgendwo gegen zu laufen und findet sich super zurecht. Er befindet sich seit dem 12. November auf einer Pflegestelle Nähe Bremen. Dort wird er als sehr lieber und ruhiger Welpe wahr genommen. Er versteht sich bestens mit den ebenfalls dort lebenden Hunden und stellt wenig Ansprüche. Niki ist froh, einfach nur dabei sein zu dürfen. Er lernt gerade stubenrein zu werden und das kleine Hunde 1×1. Dabei schlägt er sich schon sehr gut. Die Kaninchen und Meerschweinchen der Pflegestelle beäugt er neugierig und tapst auch hinterher, ist aber absolut lieb und vorsichtig dabei. Er ist ein wirklich ruhiger kleiner Kerl, der eher langsam durchs Leben schreitet. Wenn er seine dollen fünf Minuten hat, kann er aber auch schnell. Aktuell misst er ca. 30cm Schulterhöhe, vermutlich wird er so um die 40 cm groß werden. PAW HEROES e.V. E-Mail: © 2022 PAW HEROES e.V. – All Rights Reserved.

About Niki

What life with Niki looks like

Niki is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at og:image 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 Niki, answered.

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