How do I contact the shelter about Ava?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ava on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ava if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs 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 Ava 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 Ava 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 Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ava 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.

Ava

Dachshund · Female · Puppy · 1 month

Ava – a fun and outgoing little female dog Ava arrived at our animal shelter in Hungary with her siblings and her mother Mia. Her parents are both dachshund mixes. Ava is a fun, outgoing, curious and adventurous little dog. At our shelter, Ava has contact with various people; women, men and also children. She is petted, sometimes held firmly and lifted up. The little one also gets to know adult dogs and can gather many important experiences. Ava gets to know the collar and leash and we also practice walking her on a leash. Ava will remain a small dog, but of course she wants to be treated like a big one. She runs, climbs, explores very much... and she should be allowed to do all that with her new people! A visit to a dog school could also be fun for her. Who falls in love with our Ava and can enable her a great dog life with a lot of love and also friendly consistency? Ava can leave in November. Preferred is direct adoption upon arrival in Switzerland or also picking her up in Hungary is possible. We are happy to provide more information! Since Ava is too young for a castration at the time of delivery, she is being castrated.

Ava – lustige und aufgestellte kleine Hündin Ava kam zusammen mit ihren Geschwistern und ihrer Mama Mia auf unseren Tierschutzhof in Ungarn. Ihre Eltern sind beides Dackel-Mischlinge. Ava ist eine lustige, aufgestellte, neugierige und entdeckungsfreudige kleine Hündin. Bei uns auf dem Hof hat Ava Kontakt mit verschiedenen Menschen; Frauen, Männern und auch Kindern. Sie wird gestreichelt, auch mal festgehalten und hochgehoben. Die Kleine lernt auch erwachsene Hunde kennen und darf so viele wichtige Erfahrungen sammeln. Ava lernt Halsband und Gstältli kennen und wir üben mit ihr auch das Laufen an der Leine. Ava wird eine kleine Hündin bleiben, sie möchte aber natürlich trotzdem wie eine Grosse behandelt werden. Sie rennt, klettert, erkundet sehr gerne…. und all das soll sie auch bei ihren neuen Menschen dürfen! Auch der Besuch einer Hundeschule könnte ihr bestimmt Spass machen. Wer verliebt sich in unsere Ava und kann ihr mit viel Liebe und auch freundlicher Konsequenz ein tolles Hundeleben ermöglichen? Ava kann im November ausreisen. Bevorzugt wird Direktadoption bei Ankunft in der Schweiz oder auch selbst Abholen in Ungarn ist möglich. Wir geben sehr gerne nähere Auskunft! Da Ava bei Abgabe noch zu jung ist für eine Kastration, wird sie mit Kastrationspflicht vermittelt.

About Ava

What life with Ava looks like

Ava is a puppy/kitten dachshund dog waiting at Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs in Yourheart4dogs.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
