How do I contact the shelter about Chiko?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz Hanau handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Chiko on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Chiko if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Hanau 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 Chiko 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 Chiko 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 Hanau early rather than rehoming privately; they know Chiko 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.

Chiko

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Breed: Pitbull-Mix Gender: male - neutered Born: ca. 11/2022 Color: brown Size: 62 cm Weight: 40 kg In the animal shelter since: 16.04.2024 Chiko, male dog, neutered, 2 1/2 years old, 40 kg, American Bully (listed as PitBull in Hessen) is on the lookout for people with breed experience who can set kind play rules. Chiko is classified as dangerous due to earlier biting incidents and thus has muzzle and leash requirements. He displays a very serious territorial behavior, shows pronounced prey drive, is partially skeptical of strangers, and is conditionally compatible with other dogs. However, with clear guidance, these tendencies are now largely unnoticeable and well-manageable. With familiar dogs, especially in his own group, he now shows friendliness and is becoming more friendly with his age. People who have guided him in the past are quickly and deeply accepted into his heart. He travels relaxed in the car, bonds closely with his people, and would like to lie in the sun all day. Chiko loves all kinds of enrichment training: whether fitness training, scent work, or trick training, he is always enthusiastic. He learns quickly, is very smart, and will even push his head through the wall if necessary. He is therefore looking for people who are at least as persistent as he is and who are willing to continue working with Chiko.

Rasse: Pitbull-Mix Geschlecht: männlich - kastriert Geboren: ca. 11/2022 Farbe: braun Größe: 62 cm Gewicht: 40 kg Im Tierheim seit: 16.04.2024 Chiko, Rüde, kastriert, 2 1/2 Jahre alt, 40 kg, American Bully (in Hessen als PitBull gelistet) ist auf der Suche nach Menschen mit Rasseerfahrung, die dem Rüden wohlwollende Spielregeln vorgeben können. Chiko ist auf Grund früherer Beißvorfälle als gefährlich eingestuft und hat aus diesem Grund Maulkorb- und Leinenpflicht. Er neigt zu einem sehr ernst zu nehmenden Territorialverhalten, zeigt ausgeprägtes Beutefangverhalten, ist teilweise skeptisch mit fremden Menschen und bedingt verträglich mit fremden Hunden. Bei klarer Führung bleiben diese Tendenzen aber mittlerweile weitestgehend unauffällig und gut lenkbar. Mit bekannten Hunden, vor allem in der eigenen Gruppe, zeigt er sich mittlerweile freundlich und seinem Alter entsprechend. Menschen, die er angeleitet kennengelernt hat, schließt er schnell und nachhaltig in sein Herz ein. Er fährt entspannt im Auto mit, bindet sich eng an seine Menschen und würde am liebsten den ganzen Tag in der Sonne liegen. Chiko liebt alle Arten von Beschäftigungstraining: egal ob Fitnesstraining, Spürhundearbeit oder Tricktraining, er ist immer mit Leidenschaft dabei. Er lernt schnell, ist sehr schlau und will im Zweifel auch mit dem Kopf durch die Wand. Er sucht also Menschen, die mindestens so beharrlich sind wie er selbst und die Lust haben, mit Chiko weiter zu arbeiten.

About Chiko

What life with Chiko looks like

Chiko is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Hanau in Hanau.

An young 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 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.
