Rico

Mixed Breed · Female

♀, geb.. ca. 3/2026junghundetypisch - freundlich - neugierigin Bulgarien Rico ist ein ca. 3/2026 geborener Mischlingsrüde mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 38 cm und wiegt ca. 8 Kg. Da er kurze Beine hat wird er nicht noch deutlich höher. Der junge Rüde Rico ist ein hübscher, aufgeweckter und interessierter Hund, der engagierte, bewegungsfreudige und abenteuerlustige Menschen sucht, die nicht unmittelbar in der Innenstadt wohnen. Das Hundeeinmaleins, die Stubenreinheit, das alleine Bleiben etc. muß Rico noch beigebracht werden. All das brauchte er bisher nicht. Rico würde sich dabei über den Besuch einer Hundeschule mit seinen Menschen sehr freuen. Denn die Pupertät steht bevor und, wie bei den Menschen, wird auch Rico noch einmal Vieles in Frage stellen und muß den Sinn des Ganzen erst verstehen. Da sind geduldige, liebevoll-konsequente Menschen gefragt, die die Entwicklung in die richtigen Bahnen lenken. Da er ein schlaues Kerlchen ist, wird das aber mit dem adäquaten Training kein Problem darstellen. Rico sucht einen Platz in einem warmen Hundebett in mitten einer Familie, wo er umsorgt wird, ein Teil der Familie ist, gefördert und ausgelastet wird. Wo er sich zu einem tollen Begleiter auf 4 Pfoten entwickeln darf. Rico ist startklar und wir helfen bei der

About Rico

What life with Rico looks like

Rico is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Rico, answered.

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