Rico

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Rico is an old acquaintance of ours, rehomed at a children’s farm but came back because he was chasing the kids. When we rehomed him again with kind people, but they wanted to stop caring for chickens and a rooster, Rico came back to us once more. He’s feisty but also very funny; if he has the space, everything is fine, and he’s really good for the ladies. About 6 years old.

Rico is een oude bekende van ons, herplaatst bij een kinderboerderij maar kwam terug omdat hij achter de kindjes aanjaagd. Toen uitgeplaatst bij lieve mensen maar die willen stoppen met het verzorgen van kippen en een haan en zo kwam Rico weer terug naar ons. Hij is pittig maar ook heel grappig, als hij de ruimte heeft dan gaat het prima, hij is erg goed voor de dames. Ongeveer 6 jaar oud.

About Rico

What life with Rico looks like

Rico is a adult mixed breed animal waiting at Flappus in Netherlands.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Rico far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇳🇱Adopting from Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

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. Flappus 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 — Flappus 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 animals 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 Flappus 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 (NL). 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.
