Ricky

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Hallöchen! Ich bin Ricky! 🐾 Klein? Ja! Niedlich? Sagen jedenfalls alle! Langweilig? Niemals! Ich bin Ricky – ein fröhlicher kleiner Wirbelwind und einem riesengroßen Herzen. Im Moment lebe ich noch im Tierheim in Rumänien und warte sehnsüchtig auf mein Ticket nach Deutschland. Meine Pfleger sagen, ich sei liebevoll, verspielt und voller Energie. Stimmt! Ich liebe es, die Welt zu entdecken, mit meinen Menschen Spaß zu haben und natürlich dürfen Kuscheleinheiten auch nicht fehlen. Man munkelt übrigens, dass irgendwo in meinem Stammbaum mal ein Pekinese mitgemischt hat. Ob das stimmt? Wer weiß! Ich nenne mich einfach einen waschechten rumänischen Mischling – einzigartig, charmant und genau richtig so, wie ich bin 😉 Ich wünsche mir eine Familie, die Lust hat, mit mir gemeinsam durchs Leben zu gehen. Menschen, die Freude daran haben, mir das Hunde-Einmaleins beizubringen, mit mir Abenteuer zu erleben und mir zeigen, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann. Wenn du also einen kleinen Sonnenschein suchst, der dein Leben mit guter Laune, Liebe und einer ordentlichen Portion Lebensfreude bereichert, dann melde dich bei meinen Freunden vom Tierschutzverein. Dein Ricky ❤️🐶 Gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt, kastriert

About Ricky

What life with Ricky looks like

Ricky is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cats & Dogs in Not in Furth.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ricky, answered.

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