Adopt Bran

Golden Retriever · Male

I am Bran, a loving and energetic young German Shepherd. With my beautiful eyes, I enchant all the helpers at our shelter. I also look forward to visits from kind people. Outside of the shelter, I still feel insecure and get worked up about what's happening around me. Therefore, it's good to have someone by my side who can provide me with a sense of security. I get along well with my canine friends here at the shelter. The good Bran was in the city at the fountain, in the middle of the roundabout, looking for water. He had probably gone without something to drink for a long time. Our good animal shelter helper took him in and brought him to safety. Bran was microchipped, but he was not registered with any owner. Unfortunately, no one missed him… Chip, Passport, vaccinated, neutered. I have sponsors for basic needs – thank you, dear Shelley & Simon ❤️ [Show a slideshow]

Ich bin Bran , ein lieber und bewegungsfreudiger junger Hundemann. Mit meinen hübschen Augen verzaubere ich alle Helfer der Residenz. Ich freue mich auch sehr, wenn ich Besuch von lieben Menschen bekomme. Ausserhalb der Residenz fühle ich mich noch unsicher, bin hibbelig und aufgergt an dem was um mich herum passiert. Daher ist es gut, wenn ich jemanden an meiner Seite habe, der mir Sicherheit vermittelt. Mit meinen Hundekumpels hier in der Residenz verstehe ich mich gut. Der gute Bran war in der Stadt im Brunnen, inmitten des Kreisel auf der Suche nach Wasser. Er hatte wohl schon längere Zeit nichts zum Trinken bekommen. Von dort hat ihn unsere gute Tierheimhelferin aufgenommen und in Sicherheit gebracht. Bran war gechipt , er war aber nicht auf einen Besitzer registriert. Er wurde leider auch von niemandem vermisst … Chip, Pass, geimpft kastriert Ich habe Paten für Grundbedürfnis – DANKE liebe Shelley & Simon❤️ 1 2 ►

About Bran

What life with Bran looks like

Bran is a adult golden retriever 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 Bran, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bran?
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 Bran on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bran 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 Bran 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 Bran 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 Bran 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.
