Chico

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

A friendly and affectionate mixed-breed male dog named Chico, born in January 2021, is looking for a new home. He is compatible with dogs and cats, and can be trusted around children from school age onwards. The dog is house trained, wears a harness, walks nicely on a leash, knows basic commands, rides well in the car, and according to his previous owner, gets along well with cats. As he was recently living 24/7 with his human family and not alone, this must be built up very gradually in his future home and a backup (e.g., dog sitter) should be available. The loving dog is looking for a home on the outskirts of town or in the countryside.

„Menschenbezogener Kuschelbär Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Januar 2021 Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Mit Katzen verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: ab Schulalter möglich Zuhause gesucht: Stadtrand oder Land Der menschenbezogene, 2021 geborene Mischlingsrüde Chico ist menschenfreundlich und kann auch zu Kindern ab Schulalter vergeben werden. Auch mit anderen Hunden ist Chico verträglich. Der anhängliche Kerl ist stubenrein, kennt das Brustgeschirr und geht brav an der Leine. Chico kennt die Grundkommandos, fährt brav im Auto mit und verträgt sich lt. Vorbesitzer auch gut mit Katzen. Da er zuletzt 24/7 seinen Menschen um sich hatte und nicht allein war, muss dies in seinem zukünftigen Zuhause sehr kleinschrittig aufgebaut werden und ein Backup vorhanden sein (z.B. Hundesitter). Der liebe Kerl sucht ein Zuhause am Stadtrand oder Land.“

About Chico

What life with Chico looks like

Chico is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Austria in Vienna.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

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. Tierschutz Austria 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 — Tierschutz Austria 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 Tierschutz Austria 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.
