How do I contact the shelter about Rico?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner 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 Herz für Streuner 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 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 Herz für Streuner 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.

adoption requirements adoption process Adopt this animal now! adoption requirements adoption process Rico has found his people! His story: Double happiness in misfortune for Ferdi and Rico. The two brothers were born in a garden. The owner refused to allow their female dog to be spayed, resulting in unexpected puppies. We were fortunately able to rescue the two puppy siblings from this unfortunate situation and are now searching for wonderful families who want to adopt the two. Currently, they are 3 months old and are expected to grow to a small to medium size. Rico looks like he always has a smile on his lips. This appearance matches his character, as the little puppy is very friendly and loving and always enjoys affection and attention. He is also typically puppy-like, open, and curious. He gets along well with his fellow animals. After the clumsy puppy phase, puberty will eventually follow. During this time, he will test his owners and his limits. He needs someone to stand by him during this hormone chaos and provide the necessary understanding and support so that he can grow into a great dog. Positive reinforcement training and loving consequences will help navigate this time well and emerge as a strong team. For Rico would never deliberately annoy you. He can often be unable to control his behavior during this tumultuous time and hopes that you will always stand behind him during this difficult time. Living children in the household should be older to understand the new companion and not misunderstand. Surely it would be time now to find new friends in dog training classes and finally be able to "learn something" – maybe with you? He is eager to learn the dog ABC and form new friendships. He is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and treated for fleas and will bring his own EU pet passport. Against an adoption fee of 500 Euros, he can move in. Does Rico make a smile appear on your lips? Many thanks to Susanne M. for taking on the naming sponsorship. As of: 23.02.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Rico hat seine Menschen gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Doppeltes Glück im Unglück für Ferdi und Rico. Die beiden Brüder wurden in einem Garten geboren. Der Besitzer hat sich nicht dazu bereit erklärt, seine Hündin sterilisieren zu lassen, sodass sie ungewollt Nachwuchs bekommen hat. Die beiden Hundekinder konnten wir glücklicherweise aus dieser misslichen Lage retten und suchen nun tolle Familien, die die beiden adoptieren wollen. Aktuell sind sie 3 Monate alt und werden ausgewachsen vermutlich eine kleine bis maximal mittelgroße Größe erreichen. Rico sieht aus, als hätte er stets ein Lächeln auf den Lippen. Dieser Anschein passt auch zu seinem Charakter, denn der kleine Hundebub ist sehr freundlich und lieb und freut sich immer über Zuneigung und Aufmerksamkeit. Auch ist er welpentypisch aufgeschlossen und neugierig. Mit seinen Artgenossen versteht er sich auch sehr gut. Nach der tollpatschigen Welpenzeit folgt dann irgendwann die Pubertät. In der er seine Besitzer auf die Probe stellen und seine Grenzen austesten wird. Er sucht jemanden, der ihn bei diesem Hormonchaos beiseite steht und ihm das nötige Verständnis und die Unterstützung aufbringt, damit er zu einem tollen Hund heranwachsen kann. Eine Hundeerziehung mit positiver Verstärkung und liebevoller Konsequenz helfen dabei, diese Zeit gut zu überstehen und als ein starkes Team aus ihr hervorzugehen. Denn Rico würde dich niemals bewusst ärgern. Er kann in dieser aufwühlenden Zeit oft nichts für sein Verhalten und hofft darauf, dass du in dieser schweren Zeit immer hinter ihm stehst. Im Haushalt lebende Kinder sollten schon älter sein, um den neuen Weggefährten ihrerseits zu verstehen und nicht falsch zu verstehen. Sicherlich wäre es jetzt an der Zeit neue Freunde in der Hundeschule zu suchen und endlich „was lernen“ zu dürfen – vielleicht mit dir? Er brennt darauf das Hunde ABC zu lernen und neue Freundschaften zu schließen. Er reist geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und entfloht und nach positiver Vorkontrolle in sein neues Zuhause. Natürlich bringt er auch seinen eigenen EU-Heimtierausweis mit. Gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro darf er umziehen Darf Rico dir ein Lächeln auf die Lippen zaubern? Vielen Dank Susanne M. für das Übernehmen seiner Namenspatenschaft. Stand: 23.02.2025

About Rico

What life with Rico looks like

Rico is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
