How do I contact the shelter about ALMA?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Association Coeurs de Chiens handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ALMA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt ALMA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Association Coeurs de Chiens 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 ALMA 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 ALMA 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 Association Coeurs de Chiens early rather than rehoming privately; they know ALMA 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 (FR). 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.

Available for adoption in: Switzerland. Current location: Private boarding in Andalusia, Spain at our expense. Arrival in case of adoption: Friday, June 19, 2026. Our four Musketeers: Sira, Ona, ALMA & Rio. A joyful group of puppies full of life, mischief and tenderness, ready to discover the world alongside their future family in Switzerland. Friendly, playful, curious and already very attached, they are real little "storms of happiness": they run, they play, they make mistakes, they ask for cuddles... in short, the splendor of puppy life! Behind their cute faces are also future dogs who will become beautiful and deeply attached to their humans, provided they are given gentle, consistent and caring education. These puppies have everything to learn: cleanliness, gradual separation, daily discoveries, walks, meetings... They therefore look for families ready to invest patience, love and humor in this beautiful adventure. Born from a local pound in Spain with their siblings, they now have the chance to hope for a new life. Energetic, affectionate and full of potential puppies, who are just waiting to finally grow up surrounded by love in Switzerland. Children: From 7-10 years old, comfortable with dogs, respectful and attentive. Adopter profile: We will be demanding in placing these little hearts: People aged 28 to 63 max, stable and responsible. First-time adopters welcome. Very high availability during the day (walks every 2-3 hours) for cleanliness. Mandatory presence. Good physical condition and great patience are essential. Mandatory commitment in an educational and socialization program (followed by the association). Other dogs accepted if they are balanced and sterilized. Secure garden is a plus for cleanliness, but if there is no garden it is mandatory to have small green areas nearby and quickly accessible for regular needs. Minimum of stairs. If above the second floor, elevator is mandatory. Thoughtful and committed adoption for the long term. We always prefer non-city and large buildings contexts. We will only respond to adoption requests that match the specified criteria. At the end of the contact form there is a message field, we like to read real motivations and useful additional information there.
