Adopt Chicco_Chihuahua

Mixed Breed · Male

Chicco, Chihuahua-Mix, male dog (will be neutered), born 18.8.22, 3.7 kg Optically, he seems to have a bit of a Chihuahua and possibly also a Shiba Inu in him. So tiny Chicco is, so clear is also: He brings not only cute sides but also some projects where his future people will have to work with him. Chicco is initially rather fearful of strangers and needs time to build trust. With familiar people, he shows himself much more open. In his previous husbandry, however, he was not given many boundaries, and important things in everyday life have been lacking. Therefore, Chicco is currently not a dog who can just run alongside, but one who needs clear orientation, patience, and reliable structures. Especially important is to know that Chicco has not learned to be alone. For him, we are therefore looking for people who can really have a lot of time for him in the first period. At the beginning, there should definitely be one person at home all day long so that Chicco can settle in in peace and that the alone-time is built up step by step and sensibly. With other dogs, Chicco gets along well. A confident fellow animal in the new home can therefore fit well with him, but it is not a must. He will also likely get used to cats. For Chicco, we wish for a home with people who do not underestimate his cute appearance. He does not need admiration for his size but people who are ready to make up for what has been missed and to show him step by step how a relaxed everyday life can function. With time, patience, and a fair, consistent leadership, Chicco has good chances to develop positively. Whoever wants to give a small dog with a great catch-up need a suitable home, may get to know Chicco.

Chicco, Chihuahua-Mix, Rüde (wird noch kastriert), geb. 18.8.22, 3,7 kg Optisch steckt in ihm wohl ein Chihuahua und vermutlich auch ein Shiba Inu. So winzig Chicco ist, so klar ist aber auch: Er bringt nicht nur niedliche Seiten mit, sondern auch einige Baustellen, an denen seine künftigen Menschen mit ihm arbeiten müssen. Chicco ist Fremden gegenüber anfangs eher ängstlich und braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Mit vertrauten Personen zeigt er sich dann deutlich offener. In seiner bisherigen Haltung wurden ihm allerdings nicht viele Grenzen gesetzt und wichtige Dinge im Alltag sind zu kurz gekommen. Deshalb ist Chicco aktuell kein Hund, der einfach so nebenherläuft, sondern einer, der klare Orientierung, Geduld und verlässliche Strukturen braucht. Besonders wichtig ist zu wissen, dass Chicco nicht gelernt hat, alleine zu bleiben. Für ihn suchen wir daher Menschen, die in der ersten Zeit wirklich viel Zeit für ihn haben. Anfangs sollte auf jeden Fall eine Person ganztags zuhause sein, damit Chicco in Ruhe ankommen kann und das Alleinbleiben später kleinschrittig und sinnvoll aufgebaut wird. Mit anderen Hunden ist Chicco bestens verträglich. Ein souveräner Artgenosse im neuen Zuhause kann deshalb gut zu ihm passen, ist aber kein Muss. Auch an Katzen wird er sich voraussichtlich gewöhnen können. Für Chicco wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die seinen niedlichen Auftritt nicht unterschätzen. Er braucht keine Bewunderung für seine Größe, sondern Menschen, die bereit sind, Versäumtes nachzuholen und ihm Schritt für Schritt zu zeigen, wie ein entspannter Alltag funktionieren kann. Mit Zeit, Geduld und einer fairen, konsequenten Führung hat Chicco gute Chancen, sich positiv zu entwickeln. Wer einem kleinen Hund mit großem Nachholbedarf ein passendes Zuhause geben möchte, darf Chicco gerne kennenlernen.

About Chicco_Chihuahua

What life with Chicco_Chihuahua looks like

Chicco_Chihuahua is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg.

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 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 Chicco_Chihuahua, answered.

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