Can I adopt Rico alias der „Familienhund“ if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases.

Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Rico alias der „Familienhund“ 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 Rico alias der „Familienhund“ 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 Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rico alias der „Familienhund“ 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.

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Rico alias der „Familienhund“ → Breed: mixed breed (Dogo Argentino) → Gender: male → Born: 08/2017 → Size / Weight: 53 cm / 30 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Chip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: N/A → Sponsorships possible: yes Description: When you first meet Rico, you might overlook what truly lies within him: an incredibly loving, always cuddly family dog. For Rico to fulfill his dream of having a family of his own, you just need to fall in love with the handsome, charmingly patterned "white collar" right away. Rico brings all the qualities needed for a successful career as the center of a family or to join an already established pack: He gets along with all dogs, even cats. And he practically melts towards people, begging for cuddles. With Rico, you won't be bringing home a highly active four-legged friend, but you can look forward to a willing companion for leisurely, gradually expanding walks where Rico can indulge his passion for sniffing. His trusting nature is all the more remarkable given that this poor guy was rescued from an euthanasia facility three years ago, emaciated and near death. Rico has been nursed back to health and has fully recovered. He has left his ugly past behind. Now you can help bring Rico, the "cuddle bug," to full dog happiness: Please contact us!

Der Wunsch einer eigenen Familie wird sich für Rico jedoch nur erfüllen, wenn Sie sich gleich uns in den hübschen, reizvoll gemusterten „Weißkragen“ verlieben. Rico bringt alle Voraussetzungen für eine erfolgreiche Karriere als familiärer Mittelpunkt oder auch zur Aufnahme in ein schon bestehendes Rudel mit: Er verträgt sich mit allen Hunden, sogar mit Katzen. Und Menschen schmachtet er, um Streicheleinheiten bittend, regelrecht an. Mit Rico holt man sich definitiv keinen hochaktiven Vierbeiner ins Haus, darf sich aber auf einen willigen Begleiter für gemütliche, nach und nach ausdehnbare Spaziergänge freuen, bei denen Rico seine Schnüffelleidenschaft ausleben kann. Sein zutrauliches Wesen ist umso erstaunlicher, als der arme Kerl vor drei Jahren in abgemagertem, sterbenskrankem Zustand aus einer Tötungsstation gerettet wurde. Rico wurde gesund gepflegt und hat sich vollkommen erholt. Die hässliche Vergangenheit hat Rico schadlos hinter sich gelassen. Nun können Sie das „Kuscheltier“ Rico zum vollen Hundeglück verhelfen: Bitte melden! Aufgrund seines L
