Chico

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Chico kam damals als Welpe zusammen mit seinem Bruder Benji als Fundtier in unser Partnertierheim. Da die beiden dort keine Familie fanden, verbrachten sie ihre gesamte Jugend im Tierheim. Chico lernt die große, weite Welt also erst jetzt bei uns kennen. Aktuell zeigt er sich Fremden gegenüber noch schüchtern und vorsichtig, siegt aber immer wieder über seine Angst, kommt von sich aus heran und möchte unbedingt dazulernen. Für den hübschen, kastrierten Mischlingsrüden mit einem Stockmaß von ca. 50 cm suchen wir ein liebevolles und geduldiges Zuhause. Da ihm vieles noch unheimlich ist, vermitteln wir Chico in ein Umfeld mit einem bereits vorhandenen, souveränen Ersthund, an dem er sich orientieren kann. Ein eigener, eingezäunter Garten im neuen Zuhause ist für seine Eingewöhnung Voraussetzung. Weil ihn zu viel Trubel noch überfordern würde, sollten keine kleinen Kinder im Haushalt leben. Chico zeigt sich bei uns bereits stubenrein und kann nach einer entsprechenden Eingewöhnungszeit sicherlich auch stundenweise alleine bleiben.

About Chico

What life with Chico looks like

Chico is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Julias Tierheim Ahaus in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Chico, answered.

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