Chicho

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Chicho is an incredibly charming young male dog whose life was saved thanks to our partner shelter, La Huella Roja. Chicho was sitting in the kill shelter in Almería. He was surrendered because he was no longer wanted, because his people no longer had the time or the desire to look after him. Since 27.11.2021, this funny and active fellow has been living in his foster home in Germany, where in everyday life he shows himself to be a great buddy. However, although Chicho is a people-oriented and cuddly boy, he needs experienced people with dog sense. He tries to defend his resources (such as toys or food), which is why he will not be placed with small children. If clear boundaries are set from the start, however, this behavior is quickly forgotten. When he knows he cannot assert himself, he follows the rules and shows himself to be a nice and affectionate charmer. He enjoys walks, walks well on the leash, and is open and friendly toward other dogs. Cats and horses are no problem for him either. We now hope that a wonderful life can begin for Chicho, and we would be very happy to receive letters on his behalf. He is welcome to visit at his foster home. Chicho is vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and has a European pet passport. What requirements do you need to adopt Chicho? How does an adoption work? We explain it step by step. For legal reasons, we do not place animals in Austria. Other neighboring countries are possible by arrangement.

Chicho ist ein überaus bezaubernder junger Rüde, dem Dank unseres Partnertierheims La Huella Roja das Leben gerettet wurde. Denn Chicho sass in der Tötung in Almería. Abgegeben, weil er nicht mehr erwünscht war, weil seine Menschen keine Zeit oder keine Lust mehr hatten, sich um ihn zu kümmern. Seit dem 27.11.2021 lebt der lustige und aktive Kerl jetzt in seiner Pflegestelle in Deutschland und zeigt sich im Alltag als toller Kumpel. Allerdings braucht Chicho, trotz dass er ein menschenbezogener und schmusiger Bub ist, erfahrene Leute mit Hundeverstand. Denn er versucht seine Ressourcen (wie Spielzeug oder Futter) zu verteidigen. Daher wird er auch nicht zu kleinen Kindern vermittelt. Setzt man ihm von Anfang an klare Grenzen, ist dieses Verhalten aber schnell vergessen. Wenn er weiß, dass er sich nicht durchsetzen kann, hält er sich an die Regeln und zeigt sich als netter und anhänglicher Charmeur. Er geht gerne spazieren, läuft gut an der Leine und ist anderen Hunden gegenüber aufgeschlossen und freundlich. Katzen und Pferde sind für ihn auch kein Problem. Und nun wünschen wir uns, dass für Chicho ein großartiges Leben beginnen kann und würden uns sehr freuen in seinem Namen Post zu bekommen. Gerne kann er auf seiner Pflegestelle besucht werden. Chicho ist geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und hat einen europäischen Heimtierausweis. Welche Voraussetzungen brauchst Du, um Chicho zu adoptieren? Wie läuft eine Adoption ab? Wir erklären es Schritt für Schritt. Wir vermitteln aus gesetzlichen Gründen nicht nach Österreich. Andere Nachbarländer sind nach Absprache möglich.

About Chicho

What life with Chicho looks like

Chicho is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Sonnenpfoten e.V. in Lenningen.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Chicho, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chicho?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Sonnenpfoten e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Chicho on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Chicho if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Sonnenpfoten e.V. whether they will for Chicho, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Chicho already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Sonnenpfoten e.V. lists Chicho as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Sonnenpfoten e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Chicho isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Sonnenpfoten e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Chicho 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.
