Chuck

Labrador Retriever · Male

Birthdate: ca 2016 Gender: male not neutered Breed: Labrador-Magyar Viszla Mix Size/Weight: over 50 cm, 30 kg Chuck came to us from a confiscation and unfortunately, he did not bring any information about his past. He always shows a cheerful and energetic attitude towards people. Towards other dogs, he is joyfully excited and stormy. Breed-wise, he is strongly hunting-motivated and leads his nose to the ground. Whether he has received training in that area is unfortunately not known to us. Due to his strength and stormy nature, children in the new home should already be older. Cats and small animals should not live in the household.

Geburtsdatum: ca 2016 Geschlecht: männlich nicht kastriert Rasse: Labrador-Magyar Viszla Mix Größe/ Gewicht: über 50 cm, 30kg Besonderheit: Bekommt Gastrointestinales Futter Chuck ist aus einer Beschlagnahmung zu uns gekommen und hat leider keine Infos zu seiner Vergangenheit mitgebracht. Bei uns zeigt er sich Menschen gegenüber stets gut gelaunt und energiegeladen. Anderen Hunden gegenüber ist er freudig erregt und stürmisch. Rassebedingt, ist er stark jagdlich motiviert und führt seine Nase auf dem Boden. Auf Grund seiner Kraft und stürmischen Art, sollten Kinder im neuen Zuhause schon älter sein. Katzen und Kleintiere sollten nicht im häuslichen Umfeld leben.

About Chuck

What life with Chuck looks like

Chuck is a small adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. in Recklinghausen.

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 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 Chuck, answered.

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