How do I contact the shelter about Bolo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. home4dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bolo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bolo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — home4dogs 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 Bolo 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 Bolo 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 home4dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bolo 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.

Bolo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Born around March 2020, 36 cm tall, male, neutered—not suitable for children and not in Poland—Bolo: a dog for people with sensitivity! Bolo and his brother Lolo came to the animal shelter about two years ago. At that time, both were very shy and reserved. Lolo has become quite trusting in the meantime, but Bolo remains easily unsettled and keeps his distance from people. Still, he’s curious—this much is clear—he simply lacks the courage and trust yet. The shelter environment is very stressful for him. However, we’re confident that in the right environment, he’d find much more peace, learn to trust, and gradually open up and blossom. Therefore, we’re looking for a home for Bolo with patient people—without children—who have sensitivity and a manageable daily routine. An experienced, friendly first dog in the new home would be a great source of guidance for dear Bolo. Bolo is waiting for his big chance and will repay it by being a loyal friend by the side of his favorite humans. Videos July 26:

ca. 6 Jahre (geb. ca. 03.2020) 36 cm männlich, kastriert nicht zu Kindern noch in Polen BOLO – ein Hund für Menschen mit Fingerspitzengefühl! Bolo und sein Bruder Lolo kamen vor ca. 2 Jahren ins Tierheim. Damals waren beide sehr scheu und zurückhaltend. Lolo ist mittlerweile recht zutraulich geworden, Bolo ist weiterhin rasch verunsichert und hält Distanz zu den Menschen. Aber er ist neugierig – das merkt man – ihm fehlen einfach noch der Mut und das Vertrauen. Die Tierheim-Umgebung ist sehr stressig für ihn. Wir sind uns aber sicher, dass er in einer passenden Umgebung viel besser zur Ruhe käme, Vertrauen lernt und sich dann peu à peu öffnen und entfalten könnte. Daher suchen wir für Bolo ein Zuhause bei geduldigen Menschen ohne Kinder mit Fingerspitzengefühl und einem überschaubaren Tagesablauf. Ein souveräner, freundlicher Ersthund im neuen Zuhause wäre eine grosse Orientierungshilfe für den lieben Bolo. Bolo wartet auf seine grosse Chance und wird es als loyaler Freund an der Seite seiner Lieblingsmenschen danken. Videos Juli 26:

About Bolo

What life with Bolo looks like

Bolo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at home4dogs in Home4dogs.

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.
