Rick

Mixed Breed · Male

Rick is seeking a loving home Rick is a wonderful little dog with a moving story. Originally living with his owner, he ended up with a man who unfortunately could barely take care of him and was mostly on the streets himself. One day, Rick joined a pack of dogs – all of them were eventually brought to an animal shelter. For the little dogs there, it’s very hard to adjust, so Rick was placed in a foster home, where he’s learning, step by step, to adapt to a normal dog life. Rick is a friendly and affectionate dog. He gets along well with other dogs. He knows cats, but has not yet been alone with them. Older children would also be no problem for him. At the moment, Rick is learning the house rules and making good progress. He loves walks, enjoys every pat, and cuddles for his life. For Rick, we wish for a quiet, loving home with people who will give him time to settle in and show him how wonderful a home can be. Who will give this little treasure a second chance? Rick is dewormed, microchipped, vaccinated, will be neutered upon rehoming, and has an EU pet passport. All our dogs travel vaccinated and microchipped with an EU pet passport. They are only placed after a positive assessment. If you’re interested in becoming a foster home, adopting, or sponsoring Rick, please click here: I am interested.

Rick sucht ein liebevolles Zuhause Rick ist ein wundervoller, kleiner Hund mit einer bewegenden Geschichte. Ursprünglich lebte er bei seiner Besitzerin, doch nach ihrem Tod kam er zu einem Mann, der sich leider kaum um ihn kümmern konnte und meist selbst auf der Straße unterwegs war. Eines Tages schloss sich Rick einem Hunderudel an – alle zusammen wurden schließlich in ein Tierheim gebracht. Im dortigen Tierheim ist es für die kleinen Hunde sehr schwer zurecht zu kommen und so konnte Rick auf einer Pflegestelle untergrbracht werden, hier lernt er, Schritt für Schritt, sich an ein normales Hundeleben zu gewöhnen. Rick ist ein freundlicher und lieber Hund. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich gut. Katzen kennt er zwar, war aber bisher noch nicht allein mit ihnen zusammen. Ältere Kinder wären für ihn ebenfalls kein Problem. Zurzeit lernt Rick die Hausregeln und macht dabei gute Fortschritte. Er liebt Spaziergänge, genießt jede Streicheleinheit und kuschelt für sein Leben gern. Für Rick wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihm Zeit geben anzukommen und ihm zeigen, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann. Wer schenkt diesem kleinen Schatz eine zweite Chance? Rick ist mehrfach entwurmt , gechipt, geimpft, wird kastriert vermittelt und besitzt einen EU – Heimtierausweis. Alle unsere Hunde reisen geimpft und gechipt mit einem EU – Heimtierausweis. Sie werden nur nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle, mit einem Schutzvertrag gegen eine nicht verhandelbare Schutzgebühr vermittelt.

About Rick

What life with Rick looks like

Rick is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Pfotentraum Chance auf Leben e.V. in Linden.

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 Rick, answered.

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