Chico

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Sebastian and Cristina were out and had already picked up a poor little tomcat. They stopped to feed a few dogs. Days earlier, Cristina had noticed a pregnant female dog there. On this day, the female dog was there, but not pregnant anymore. Where are the puppies? Quickly fed the dogs and back home to take the tomcat away and set up something to catch with, because the momma wasn't so nice. Back to the dogs, they found the puppies rather quickly and could gather them. Luckily, the momma trotted willingly into the cage behind them. Here on site, the momma fiercely defends her puppies. The little ones are happy and curious. They are still too young to be transported, but they are already looking for their family.

Sebastian und Cristina waren unterwegs und hatten bereits einen armen kleinen Kater aufgesammelt. Sie hielten an um ein paar Hunde zu füttern. Schon Tage zuvor war Cristina dort eine trächtige Hündin aufgefallen. An diesem Tag war die Hündin auch da, aber nicht mehr tragend. Wo sind die kleinen? Schnell zuende gefüttert und zurück nach Hause um den Kater weg zu bringen und was zum einfangen einzuladen, denn die Mama war nicht so nett. Zurück zu den Hunden gekommen, fanden sie die Welpen recht schnell und konnten sie auch einsammeln. Zum Glück trottete die Mama lieb in den Käfig hinterher. Hier vor Ort verteidigt die Mama ihre Welpen sehr. Die kleinen sind fröhlich und interessiert. Noch sind sie zu jung um auszureisen, aber sie suchen schonmal nach ihrer Familie.

About Chico

What life with Chico looks like

Chico is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Streunerfreunde e.V. / Streunerhilfe in Aschaffenburg.

An young 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 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. Streunerfreunde e.V. / Streunerhilfe 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 — Streunerfreunde e.V. / Streunerhilfe 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 Streunerfreunde e.V. / Streunerhilfe 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.
