Chicho

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

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. 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 Chicho, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chicho?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this 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?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Sonnenpfoten 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 Chicho 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 Chicho 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 Sonnenpfoten e.V. 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
