Adopt Nimo

Collie · Male · Adult · 8 years

I am Nimo, a sensitive dog who wants to blossom and learn a bit more. I am friendly to people and enjoy going for walks – I can also relax well outside. However, I am quite stressed at the animal shelter, and this is noticeable. I am currently barking quite a lot and am generally a bit tense here. That's why I am eager for my own home soon. I can't live alone yet and would need to learn this with a lot of patience. I am a bit picky about my food – after all, I know what I like and what I don't. Additionally, I naturally need regular grooming. Other male dogs do not interest me much, and female dogs are okay with me depending on my liking. I am looking for a quiet home on the outskirts of town with little hustle and bustle. Children living in the household should be around 12 years old or older for me. My humans should have patience and help me find security. Then I can show what a great companion I actually am. Do you have a spot for a fluffy companion?

Ich bin Nimo ein sensibler Hund, der bei dir aufblühen und auch noch ein bissschen lernen möchte. Das bin ich:Ich bin nett zu Menschen und gehe gern spazieren – draußen kann ich auch gut abschalten. Im Tierheim bin ich allerdings sehr gestresst, das merkt man mir auch an. Ich belle aktuell noch recht viel und bin hier insgesamt etwas angespannt. Deshalb wünsche ich mir schnell ein eigenes Zuhause. Allein bleiben kann ich vermutlich noch nicht und müsste das in Ruhe mit viel Geduld lernen. Beim Fressen bin ich etwas wählerisch – ich weiß eben, was mir schmeckt und was nicht. Außerdem brauche ich natürlich regelmäßige Fellpflege. Andere Rüden liegen mir eher nicht, Hündinnen finde ich je nach Sympathie okay. Ich wünsche mir ein ruhiges Zuhause eher am Stadtrand und ohne zu viel Trubel. Im Haushalt lebende Kinder ab etwa 12 Jahren sind in Ordnung für mich. Meine Menschen sollten Geduld haben und mir helfen, Sicherheit zu finden. Dann kann ich zeigen, was für ein toller Begleiter ich eigentlich bin. Hast du ein Plätzchen für einen wuschligen Begleiter?

About Nimo

What life with Nimo looks like

Nimo is a large adult collie dog waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nimo, answered.

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