Nikki

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Our Nikki is already one of the older lady dogs at 11 years old, but it's precisely these dogs who have so much love to give. Nikki is a very loving and social dog. We wish for her people where she can finally arrive and not have to spend her twilight years at the animal shelter. A cozy bed, nice walks, loving hands and lots of cuddles. Sometimes that's all it takes to turn a dog grandma into a happy dog grandma. Who will give Nikki many more beautiful years together and show her what a real home feels like?

About Nikki

What life with Nikki looks like

Nikki is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierrettung Portugal e.V. in Mühlheim am Main.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nikki, answered.

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