How do I contact the shelter about Nikita?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. TERRA MATER Tierauffangstation Lustadt handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nikita on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nikita if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TERRA MATER Tierauffangstation Lustadt 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 Nikita 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 Nikita 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 TERRA MATER Tierauffangstation Lustadt early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nikita 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.

Nikita

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

Prager Rattler female Nikita, born January 14, 2014, is looking for her big break again. Unfortunately, the little dog has already had to say goodbye to her owner for the second time in her life and now wishes for a loving home where she can spend her twilight years in security. Since Nikita can no longer see very well, she needs a short moment to orient herself and gain trust with new people. Once she has mastered this little getting-to-know-you phase, she shows her cheerful, affectionate and breed-typical lively nature. She enjoys the closeness of her humans and is happy about time spent together. Despite her age, Nikita is happy to go out and loves long walks at a brisk pace. With other dogs, it depends on sympathy - not every four-legged companion fits the little lady. Therefore, we can imagine both a single place and a home with a suitable dog. We wish Nikita a quiet and loving home with people who give her time to arrive and give her many beautiful years full of affection.

Die Prager-Rattler-Hündin Nikita, geboren am 14.01.2014, sucht noch einmal ihr großes Glück. Leider musste die kleine Hündin bereits zum zweiten Mal in ihrem Leben Abschied von ihrem Herrchen nehmen und wünscht sich nun ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie ihren Lebensabend in Geborgenheit verbringen darf. Da Nikita nicht mehr ganz so gut sieht, braucht sie bei neuen Menschen einen kurzen Moment, um sich zu orientieren und Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat sie diese kleine Kennenlernphase gemeistert, zeigt sie ihr fröhliches, anhängliches und rassetypisch aufgewecktes Wesen. Sie genießt die Nähe ihrer Menschen und freut sich über gemeinsame Zeit. Trotz ihres Alters ist Nikita gerne unterwegs und liebt ausgedehnte Spaziergänge in zügigem Tempo. Mit anderen Hunden entscheidet die Sympathie – nicht jeder vierbeinige Begleiter passt zu der kleinen Dame. Deshalb können wir uns sowohl einen Einzelplatz als auch ein Zuhause mit einem passenden Hund vorstellen. Für Nikita wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges und liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihr Zeit zum Ankommen geben und ihr noch viele schöne Jahre voller Zuwendung schenken.Wer möchte dieser charmanten Seniorin die Chance auf einen unbeschwerten Lebensabend geben? 🐾💛 Hinweise zum Datenschutz, Widerruf sowie Erfolgsmessung, Protokollierung und Versanddienstleister finden Sie in unserer Datenschutzerklärung.

About Nikita

What life with Nikita looks like

Nikita is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at TERRA MATER Tierauffangstation Lustadt in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
