Pico

Mixed Breed · Male

Breed: mixed breed (ca. 18 kg), shoulder height 52 cm compatibility with others: Gets along well with other dogs, no hunting instinct so far. Current location: foster home with Patras (Greece) Reason for listing: Pico, the handsome male dog, was found tied on a chain with no food or water, left alone. Fortunately, he can now enjoy the peace of his foster home. He loves people and has a lot of energy. He should definitely be kept busy and challenged. He could also be rehomed well into a family with (slightly older) children or as a second dog. Since he knows nothing yet, he should definitely attend good dog training classes. For inquiries about the handsome male dog, please contact via email or WhatsApp:

Rasse: Mischling (ca. 18 kg), Schulterhöhe 52 cm Verträglichkeit: Gut mit anderen Hunden verträglich, bis jetzt kein Jagdinstinkt. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Pflegestelle bei Patras (Griechenland) Abgabegrund: Fundhund Pico wurde ohne Futter und Wasser an einer Kette angebunden alleine zurück gelassen. Glücklicherweise könnte der hübsche Rüde gerettet werden und genießt nun die Ruhe auf seiner Pflegestelle. Er liebt Menschen und hat sehr viel Energie. Er sollte auf jeden Fall ausreichend beschäftigt und gefordert werden. Er kann auch gut in eine Familie mit (etwas größeren) Kindern oder auch als Zweithund vermittelt werden. Da er noch nichts kennt sollte in jedem Fall eine gute Hundeschule besucht werden. Bei Interesse an dem hübschen Rüden Kontakt bitte über E-Mail oder WhatsApp an:

About Pico

What life with Pico looks like

Pico is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pico, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pico?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pico on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pico if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 Pico 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 Pico 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pico 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.
