Sanfter Nico

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 1 year

Nico (born 08.04.2025, SH ca. 50cm, growing, gentle, rather quiet, at first a bit unsure, loving, smart) Hello, I am Nico and I was rescued with other puppies from the Hell of Tulcea. Thankfully, we have left this awful place behind and are now waiting at the Tierschutzhof Rasselbande im Glück for our own families. I am a bit quieter at first, a bit unsure, but also open, friendly, social, and smart. So, really typical for a young puppy. Thus, I am ready to learn the dog 1x1, to experience adventures, and to cuddle a lot. Is the family here somewhere? Then come and visit me at the Tierschutzhof Rasselbande im Glück. This is a young, adolescent dog.

Nico (geboren 08.04.2025,SH ca.50cm, groß werdend, sanft, eher ruhig, zu Beginn etwas unsicher, lieb, schlau) Hallo ich bin der Nico und ich wurde mit anderen Welpen aus der Hölle von Tulcea gerettet. Zum Glück haben wir diesen grauenvollen Ort hinter uns gelassen und warten nun auf dem Tierschutzhof Rasselbande im Glück auf unsere eigenen Familien. Ich bin etwas ruhiger zu Beginn etwas unsicher aber auch offen, freundlich, sozial, verkuschelt und schlau. Also so richtig typisch für einen Junghund. Somit bin ich bereit mit einer eigenen Familie das Hunde 1x1 zu lernen, Abenteuer zu erleben und viel zu kuscheln. Gibt es die Familie hier irgendwo ??

About Sanfter Nico

What life with Sanfter Nico looks like

Sanfter Nico is a young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Step by Paw e.V. in Germany.

An young 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 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 Sanfter Nico, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sanfter Nico?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Step by Paw e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sanfter Nico on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sanfter Nico if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Step by Paw 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Sanfter Nico 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 Sanfter Nico 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 Step by Paw e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sanfter Nico 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.
