How do I contact the shelter about Bonnie?

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

Can I adopt Bonnie if I live in another country?

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

Bonnie

Yorkshire Terrier · Female · Young · 1 year

Bonnie is the loving mother of three puppies, Quentin, Muffin, and Pippa. Unfortunately, her owner is seriously ill and can no longer care for the dogs. Now she is waiting with her puppies in Melampo for a responsible and loving home. Bonnie is extremely friendly, affectionate, and cuddly when interacting with people. She is loving and trusting towards the volunteer helpers and seeks their closeness. She approaches them without fear and allows herself to be easily touched and picked up. Bonnie also shows complete relaxation and trust when interacting with her puppies. She allows us to easily pick up Quentin, Muffin, and Pippa and care for them. She conveys the impression of a caring and balanced mother. We wish Bonnie a loving home where she can feel welcome and receive the attention and affection she so richly deserves. Although Bonnie is a small dog, she naturally wants to be taken seriously. Like any dog, she needs exercise, activity, and an environment where she can trust and enjoy her life. We very much hope that Bonnie will soon leave the shelter behind and start a new, beautiful chapter with her humans.

Bonnie ist die liebevolle Mutter der drei Welpen Quentin, Muffin und Pippa. Ihre Besitzerin ist leider schwer erkrankt und kann sich nicht mehr um die Hunde kümmern. Nun wartet sie gemeinsam mit ihren Welpen in Melampo auf ein verantwortungsvolles und liebevolles Zuhause. Bonnie zeigt sich im Umgang mit Menschen ausgesprochen freundlich, zutraulich und verschmust. Gegenüber den freiwilligen Helfern ist sie liebevoll und vertrauensvoll und sucht deren Nähe. Sie begegnet ihnen ohne Angst und lässt sich problemlos anfassen und hochnehmen. Auch im Umgang mit ihren Welpen zeigt sich Bonnie vollkommen entspannt und vertrauensvoll. Sie lässt zu, dass wir Quentin, Muffin und Pippa problemlos hochnehmen und uns um sie kümmern können. Dabei vermittelt sie den Eindruck einer fürsorglichen und ausgeglichenen Mutter. Für Bonnie wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie ankommen darf und die Zuwendung und Aufmerksamkeit bekommt, die sie so sehr verdient. Auch wenn Bonnie eine kleine Hündin ist, möchte sie selbstverständlich für voll genommen werden. Wie jeder Hund braucht auch sie Bewegung, Beschäftigung und eine Umgebung, in der sie Vertrauen fassen und ihr Leben geniessen darf. Wir hoffen sehr, dass Bonnie das Leben im Tierheim bald hinter sich lassen darf und gemeinsam mit ihren Menschen in ein neues, schönes Kapitel starten kann.

About Bonnie

What life with Bonnie looks like

Bonnie is a young adult yorkshire terrier dog waiting at Melampo in Melampo.

An young 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.
