Adopt BILLY

Podenco · Male

I am a sweet little pup. Rather reserved and observant. Yes, my eyes give that away too… I prefer to explore the world slowly rather than impulsively. Which is probably a good thing. With time and patience, and enough distance from what is still unfamiliar to me. So I hope that my future family will guide me into my new life. My story: I and my siblings were born in the residence of Hundehilfe Motril. We are Christmas puppies, so we are probably also as sweet as candy. Our loving mom, Mia, has certainly contributed a great deal to that. You can learn more about our story in Mia’s ad.

Ein süsser kleiner Bub sei ich . Eher zurückhaltend und beobachtend. Ja meine Augen verraten es auch… lieber langsam als übereifrig die Welt erkunden. Was auch ganz gut für mich ist . Mit Zeit und Ruhe und genügend Abstand, vor all dem was mir noch nicht vertraut ist. So hoffe ich, dass meine künftige Familie mich in mein neues Leben führen wird. Meine Geschichte: Ich und meine Geschwister sind in der Residenz von Hundehilfe Motril geboren . Wir sind Weihnachtskinder darum sind wir wahrscheinlich auch so zuckersüss . Unsere liebe Mami Mia hat natürlich auch einen grossen Teil dazu beigetragen. In Mia’s Inserat könnt ihr noch mehr über unsere Geschichte erfahren .

About BILLY

What life with BILLY looks like

BILLY is a small adult podenco dog waiting at Hundehilfe Motril in St. Gallen.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting BILLY, answered.

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