Mucho

Chihuahua · Male · Young · 3 years

Unser Mucho kam aufgrund einer Sicherstellung zu uns.Da er in der Vergangenheit nicht gut mit Kindern zurechtkam, suchen wir für ihn ein Zuhause, in dem Kinder mindestens im Jugendalter sind.Anfangs ist Mucho sehr verunsichert und möchte nicht sofort Kontakt zu fremden Menschen aufnehmen. Ist der Knoten aber erst einmal geplatzt und hat er Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt er sich als äußerst zutraulicher und verschmuster Kerl. Dennoch sollte seinen neuen Menschen klar sein, dass Mucho nicht als Schoßhund oder Spielzeug, sondern wie ein vollwertiger Hund behandelt werden möchte.Für Mucho wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause mit Hundeerfahrung, das ihm die nötige Zeit und Geduld schenkt.

About Mucho

What life with Mucho looks like

Mucho is a small young adult chihuahua dog waiting at Tierheim Bochum in Bochum.

A 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mucho, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mucho?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Bochum handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mucho on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mucho if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Bochum 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mucho 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 Mucho 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 Bochum early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mucho 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.
