Chicco has been looking for a home for four years, and Martin Rütter is also helping the Nuremberg animal shelter with the search.

But the dog is not allowed to stay in Bavaria.

Nuremberg – The Nuremberg animal shelter posted a video on Wednesday (June 8) of the dog Chicco playing with a shoebox.

The animal rights activists ask: "Who will finally give him a forever home after almost four years at the shelter?"

Dog Chicco in the Nuremberg animal shelter: "To this day nobody wanted to give him a home"

Because: The Staffordshire Mix still could not be conveyed.

“It took a year for Chicco to finally be legally released for mediation.

And to this day nobody wanted to give him a home.

He's been waiting for his people for almost four years now," reports the Nuremberg animal shelter on its website.

Dog Chicco is looking for a new home - "So long in the shelter - a stress test for the male"

"So long in the shelter - a stress test for the male.

Completely without training, he came to us underutilized and could not even walk properly on a leash.” They are working on it and, as the animal shelter reports, the dog is making great progress.

"When he has a crush on someone, he's very lively and playful at the same time.

Chicco absolutely needs active people who have the time and desire to deal with him," the shelter continued.

Children should not live in his new home, he is too stormy for that.

On the other hand, he gets along well with other dogs.

He has to learn patiently to stay alone.
