Chico – Affectionate gent (5 yrs)

Chihuahua · Male

Introducing Chico, a lovable friendly little man. Whilst Chico is a little shy, he’s lived with the full family and probably, listening to those 7-month-old pups bark all day, he’s now after a quieter life, please. He could live with a nice friendly cat or too also. This link tells you more about the characters of this breed – whilst small – they are mighty in character. Please read if you think you want to bring a chihuahua into your life Chico is lovely to walk on the lead – and walks nicely and with pace then after the walk is over, will happily settle down for a snooze and a cuddle. He’s an absolute sweetheart who loves human love and attention. He would be fine to live with cats and has experience living with children, so Chico is a versatile and adaptable furry friend. He knows how to bring a smile to everyone’s face. A quieter home with minimal visitors and a relaxed atmosphere would be ideal for this sensitive breed. Chico has lived with children, but we would be looking for ones that are used to this sort of breed and can offer a calm home. Do you have a place in your heart and home for this lovely boy? Chico is eagerly waiting for a family that will provide him with the love and security he deserves. His adoption fee is £500.

About Chico – Affectionate gent (5 yrs)

What life with Chico – Affectionate gent (5 yrs) looks like

Chico – Affectionate gent (5 yrs) is a small adult chihuahua dog waiting at Rain Rescue in United Kingdom.

Frequently asked

Adopting Chico – Affectionate gent (5 yrs), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chico – Affectionate gent (5 yrs)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rain Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Chico – Affectionate gent (5 yrs) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Chico – Affectionate gent (5 yrs) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rain Rescue 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Chico – Affectionate gent (5 yrs) 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 Chico – Affectionate gent (5 yrs) 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 Rain Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Chico – Affectionate gent (5 yrs) 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 (the shelter's own language). 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.
