How do I contact the shelter about Rico?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rescued Souls 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 — Rescued Souls 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 Rescued Souls 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.

Rico

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 3 months

Rico - little explorer is looking for his forever home ❤️ about 3 months old (as of 13.09.2026) | friendly, lively, playful like a puppy. Rico was found with his two siblings on an abandoned site. Luckily, our animal rights activist discovered the three and brought them to safety in time. ❤️ After securing the siblings, they were of course first treated by a veterinarian. Rico was vaccinated and chipped and can now hope for a loving future. 🐶💉💕 Rico is a typical little puppy: playful, curious, happy and of course a bit naughty. 🥰🐾 He wants to discover the world, play, romp and learn a lot. Now Rico just needs his own family, which gives him security, love and security and accompanies him patiently on his way into dog life. 🏡❤️ Who wants to show Rico how beautiful a home can be? 🐾💙 Rico is vaccinated, chipped, dewormed, not yet neutered and checked by a veterinarian and in possession of an EU pet passport. All our dogs travel with official Traces papers and Paragraph 11 permit to Germany. Our dogs are additionally tested for Mediterranean diseases via a rapid test. The deposit is € 520 plus € 30 for the purchase of the safety harness. Note: If we assign our dogs to certain breeds, we orient ourselves exclusively on the external appearance as well as the observable behavior (phenotype). That is: This assignment is made according to the best knowledge and conscience of the association as well as the participating veterinarians. However, these information do not necessarily correspond to the actual genetic makeup (genotype), because a reliable determination of this would only be possible through a DNA analysis. In addition, the behavioral and character description of the respective animal is based on careful observations by the animal rights activists on site or by the respective foster homes. It should be noted that these assessments relate exclusively to the current local conditions in the shelters or foster homes. It is important to understand that the fur nose changes after a successful

About Rico

What life with Rico looks like

Rico is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Rescued Souls e.V. in Pfinztal.

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.
