Brenda

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Brenda - lively female dog looking for a home Gender: female, spayed Country of origin (current country of residence): Switzerland Country of birth: Italy Weight: currently 12kg Brenda recently traveled from Italy to Switzerland. She was found on the streets of Italy with Elsa and Sam and spent time in a large animal shelter. With so many dogs, the chances of finding a home are unfortunately low. Adult dogs are often overlooked. We hope Brenda will finally find her own family here. Brenda is an active, open and affectionate dog who is friendly to people. She loves the company of her owners, enjoys petting and would love to be involved everywhere. So far, she has not had much opportunity to learn and therefore needs to catch up. In unfamiliar situations, she can sometimes be a bit reserved, but with people by her side who give her security, she adapts well. She gets along great with other dogs and loves to run with them over the meadows. She doesn't know the dog alphabet yet and would therefore love to attend dog school with her new people. We are looking for a home for Brenda with active and understanding people who enjoy including her in their daily lives and experiencing many beautiful adventures with her. Her new people should give her the necessary time to settle in and understand that she still has a lot to learn. If you are looking for a cheerful, people-oriented companion and are willing to go through life with her, Brenda might be the right dog for you. Please read the following leaflet carefully to familiarize yourself with the needs of the respective animal species. If you are interested, fill out the application form and send it to . Important: Please only apply if you are ready to adopt soon, i.e., not if you have holidays, a move or something similar pending. We want to prevent our protégés from having to stay in the shelter longer than necessary. Please understand that we will not consider or answer applications without a form or those that do not meet our criteria.

Brenda - lebensfrohe Hündin sucht ihr Zuhause Geschlecht: weiblich kastriert Herkunftsland (=aktuelles Aufenthaltsland): Schweiz Zuchtland (=Geburtsland): Italien Gewicht: aktuell 12kg Brenda durfte vor kurzem von Italien zu uns in die Schweiz reisen. Zusammen mit Elsa und Sam wurde sie auf den Strassen Italiens gefunden und verbrachte danach ihre Zeit in einem grossen Tierheim. Bei der Vielzahl an Hunden sind die Chancen, ein eigenes Zuhause zu finden, leider gering. Besonders erwachsene Hunde werden oft übersehen. Umso mehr hoffen wir, dass Brenda hier endlich ihre eigene Familie findet. Brenda ist eine aktive, offene und zutrauliche Hündin, die Menschen freundlich begegnet. Sie liebt die Nähe ihrer Bezugspersonen, geniesst Streicheleinheiten und wäre am liebsten überall mit dabei. Bisher durfte sie leider noch nicht viel kennenlernen und muss deshalb einiges nachholen. In unbekannten Situationen kann sie manchmal noch etwas zurückhaltend sein, lässt sich mit Menschen an ihrer Seite, die ihr Sicherheit vermitteln, aber gut darauf ein. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich prima und flitzt liebend gerne mit ihnen über die Wiesen. Das Hunde-ABC kennt sie noch nicht und möchte darum unbedingt mit ihren neuen Menschen in die Hundeschule. Für Brenda wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei aktiven und verständnisvollen Menschen, die Freude daran haben, sie in ihren Alltag einzubeziehen und gemeinsam mit ihr viele schöne Abenteuer zu erleben. Ihre neuen Menschen sollten ihr die nötige Zeit geben, um anzukommen, und Verständnis dafür haben, dass sie noch einiges lernen muss. Wer eine fröhliche, menschenbezogene Begleiterin sucht und Lust hat, gemeinsam mit ihr durchs Leben zu gehen, könnte in Brenda genau die richtige Hündin finden. Bitte lesen Sie als erstes das folgende Merkblatt aufmerksam durch, um sich mit den Bedürfnissen der jeweiligen Tierart auseinander zu setzen. Bei Interesse füllen Sie das Bewerbungsformular aus und senden Sie dieses an . Wichtig: Bitte bewerben Sie sich nur, wenn Sie auch zeitnah bereit für eine Adoption sind , also nicht, wenn noch Ferien, ein Umzug oder ähnliches ansteht. Wir möchten verhindern, dass unsere Schützling länger als nötig im Tierheim bleiben müssen. Bitte haben Sie Verständnis, dass wir Bewerbungen ohne Formular, oder welche unsere Kriterien nicht erfüllen, nicht berücksichtigen und beantworten können. können während den

About Brenda

What life with Brenda looks like

Brenda is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Tierpension Strubeli in Switzerland.

A 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Brenda, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Brenda?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Tierpension Strubeli handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Brenda on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Brenda if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Tierpension Strubeli 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Brenda 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 Brenda 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 Tierheim Tierpension Strubeli early rather than rehoming privately; they know Brenda 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.
