Adopt NILS

Mixed Breed · Male

Our sweet NILS is looking for a home! He came to the shelter as a puppy with his brother. His brother found his home, so NILS is now alone. What can we say about our little clown except that he's typically a puppy, playful, sweet, cheerful and devoted to people. He still has a lot to learn, from walking on a leash, walks and living in a house/apartment. NILS was born in 12/2024 and is about 50cm tall. If you would like to give our little one a chance for a home, please contact us before he waits too long, as we see that he is getting more and more bored 😋. Microchip number: 191035000231397.

Naš slatki Nils traži dom! Došao je u sklonište kao mališa sa svojim bratom. Brat je pronašao svoj dom, tako da je Nils sada ostao sam. Što reći o našem cirkusantu osim da je tipično štene, razigran, mazan, veseo i privržen ljudima. Još ima puno toga za naučiti, od hodanja na vodilici, šetnje i života u kući/stanu. Nils je rođen 12/2024. te je visine cca 50cm. Ako želite pružiti priliku za dom našem mališi, javite nam se da ne čeka predugo jer vidimo da mu je dosadno sve više 😋.

About NILS

What life with NILS looks like

NILS is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Udruga Spas Varaždin in Varaždin.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇭🇷Adopting from Croatia

Croatian shelters include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID in the adoption process. Several work with Italian and German rescue networks for placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting NILS, answered.

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