How do I contact the shelter about Chicco?

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

Can I adopt Chicco if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Mönchengladbach 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 Chicco 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 Chicco 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 Mönchengladbach early rather than rehoming privately; they know Chicco 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 Chicco

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 11 years

Chicco is a sensitive Labrador Retriever mix in his best senior years, who longs for a quiet, safe home where he can finally find his place. The friendly male dog came to our animal shelter as a court-ordered intake and now seeks people who will meet him with patience, clarity, and affection. To his trusted people, Chicco builds a close relationship. Here, he shows himself to be very cuddly, cooperative, and enjoys full moments of shared time and loving cuddles. Even the senior with his sturdy build finds comfortable walks delightful and shares beautiful moments with his people. Chicco is looking for a quieter home without children. Food is a crucial resource for him, which is why reliable and structured management in this area is necessary. For Chicco, we wish for experienced and sensitive people who will respect his sensitive nature, give him security, and provide him with the chance to spend his twilight years in safety. Whoever gives him this opportunity wins a loyal and loving companion by his side.

Chicco ist ein sensibler Labrador-Retriever-Mix im besten Seniorenalter, der sich nichts sehnlicher wünscht als ein ruhiges, sicheres Zuhause, in dem er endlich ankommen darf. Der freundliche Rüde kam als behördliche Einweisung in unser Tierheim und sucht nun Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld, Klarheit und Zuneigung begegnen. Zu seinen Bezugspersonen baut Chicco eine enge Beziehung auf. Hier zeigt er sich sehr verschmust, kooperativ und genießt gemeinsame Zeit sowie liebevolle Streicheleinheiten in vollen Zügen. Auch gemütliche Spaziergänge findet der rüstige Senior toll und schenken ihm schöne gemeinsame Momente mit seinen Menschen. Chicco sucht ein eher ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder. Futter stellt für ihn eine wichtige Ressource dar, weshalb in diesem Bereich ein verlässliches und strukturiertes Management notwendig ist. Für Chicco wünschen wir uns erfahrene und einfühlsame Menschen, die seine sensible Art respektieren, ihm Sicherheit geben und ihm die Chance schenken, seinen Lebensabend in Geborgenheit zu verbringen. Wer ihm diese Möglichkeit gibt, gewinnt einen treuen und liebevollen Begleiter an seiner Seite.

About Chicco

What life with Chicco looks like

Chicco is a large senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Mönchengladbach in Mönchengladbach.

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.
