How do I contact the shelter about Amico?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Seelen für Seelchen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Amico on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Amico if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelen für Seelchen 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 Amico 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 Amico 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 Seelen für Seelchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Amico 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.

Adopt Amico

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Profile Age: born approx. 2019 Sex: male Neutered: yes Temperament: very friendly and people-oriented, gets along well with other dogs Size: approx. 47 cm At the shelter since: October 2022 Hi, I’m Amico and an incredibly sweet guy. I have so much love inside me that sometimes I don’t even know what to do with it all. I really adore you humans—that’s why I’m always nice to everyone. Where I lived before, people unfortunately didn’t like that, and that’s how I ended up here. They expected me to be a mean guard dog who bares his teeth at strangers. But that’s just not who I am. Through and through, I’m a friendly doggy gentleman. Why is it wrong to love people so much? Two hearts beat inside my chest. On one hand, I love cuddling up close to my favorite people, wanting to be right there with you—craving pets, a kind word, or a gentle look. But then again, I also love racing around, jumping, playing, and showing everyone just how happy I am that you exist! I’ve been told there are loving people out there beyond the shelter who might be looking for me and ready to give me a home—a place where my kindness is appreciated. Okay, I don’t know anything yet. I’m not house-trained, I’ve never worn a leash, and I don’t respond to commands. But I truly want to learn! I’m looking for someone patient and adventurous. With your support, I’ll learn everything I need for life in your world—the basics of being a good dog, walking nicely on a leash, and even riding in the car. Together as a team, we’ll rediscover the world. Do you recognize yourself in my dreams? Then come get me—I’m waiting right here. Your Amico If you’re interested in Amico, please fill out our application form () or send us an email or a message via Facebook. Amico is ready to travel and can join the next transport to Germany. Our dogs travel legally with TRACES. TRACES is the database system used to monitor all animal movement within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and they all have an EU pet passport. Additionally, for dogs aged 12 months and older, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is performed prior to travel arrangements: Borreliosis, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and Leishmaniasis. Martina G. has taken over Amico’s sponsorship and ensures his food bowl stays full. Thank you so much on behalf of all the dogs!

Ich habe so viel Liebe in mir und weiß manchmal gar nicht wohin damit. Euch Menschen hab ich echt gern, deshalb bin ich auch immer nett zu jedem.Da wo ich vorher war, gefiel das den Menschen leider nicht und so kam ich hierher. Man hatte von mir erwartet, dass ich ein böser Kerl bin, der ein Haus bewacht und Fremden meine Zähne zeige. Doch so bin ich nicht. Ich bin durch und durch ein freundlicher Hundemann. Warum ist es falsch, wenn ich Menschen so sehr liebe!In meiner Brust schlagen 2 Herzen. Ich mag es, mich an meine Lieben zu hängen. Möchte mit dabei sein. Streicheln, ein liebes Wort oder einen zärtlichen Blick abstauben. Aber dann will ich auch durch die Gegend sausen. Springen, toben und allen zeigen, wie froh ich bin, dass es euch gibt.Mir wurde erzählt, dass es außerhalb des Shelters liebe Menschen gibt, die mich vielleicht suchen und mir ein Zuhause geben. Ein Heim, wo man es schätzt, dass ich nett bin. Okay ich kann noch nichts. Bin nicht stubenrein, kenne keine Leine und ich höre nicht auf Kommandos. Aber das alles will ich lernen.Ich suche jemanden mit Geduld und Abenteuerlust. Ich werde mit deiner Unterstützung lernen, was ich in deiner Welt brauche. Das Hunde 1X1, an der Leine gehen und Auto fahren. Im Team werden wir die Welt neu kennenlernen. Erkennst du dich wieder in meinen Träumen?Dann hol mich zu dir. Ich warte hier.Dein Amico Wenn Sie Interesse an Amico haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Amico ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Die Patenschaft für Amico hat Martina G. übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Amico

What life with Amico looks like

Amico is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

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.
