Adopt Chico

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

IDEAL HOME: experienced with the breed LIVING WITH CHILDREN: I prefer not to live with children LIVING WITH DOGS: I prefer to be the only dog in the household LIVING WITH CATS: I prefer not to live with cats Say hello to Chico, a 6-year-old Chihuahua with a big personality in a small package. Like many Chihuahuas, Chico is alert, intelligent, and full of charm. He’s affectionate—but strictly on his own terms—and he’s searching for a calm, understanding home where he can feel safe and secure. Chico is an active little dog who loves to stay busy. He enjoys long walks, playtime in the free-run pen, and even a good game of fetch! Despite his small size, he has plenty of energy and thrives when given both physical and mental stimulation. Chico has a strong sense of independence and can be a little snappy if pushed, so he needs patient owners who understand the quirks of the breed. Experience with Chihuahuas would be a huge plus. He is best suited as the only dog in the home. Chico cannot live with cats or children and needs a quiet, adult-only environment where he can relax and build trust at his own pace. If you're an experienced dog owner looking for a lively, loyal companion with character and heart, Chico could be the perfect match. Interested in adopting Chico? Call or contact us.

About Chico

What life with Chico looks like

Chico is a extra-large adult mixed breed dog waiting at SARA Ann Prosser Foundation in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

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. SARA Ann Prosser Foundation 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 — SARA Ann Prosser Foundation 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 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 SARA Ann Prosser Foundation 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 (EN). 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.
