Bricco

Male · Young · 1 year

Bricco is a bracke, approximately 1 year old, of medium size and weighing 12 kg. The little fellow is an energetic young dog who is very affectionate toward people and has no problems at all with his canine companions. Hunting dogs are highly affectionate and sensitive animals, and Bricco suffers greatly in his concrete kennel. Anyone wishing to give Bricco a forever home should be aware that this breed has a strong “hunting instinct,” meaning he probably shouldn't be allowed to run freely in the woods. Nevertheless, this lovely dog longs for a forever home with people who are familiar with this breed. He would certainly be well-suited for jogging or for a dog sport where he can burn off his energy.

Bricco ist ein Bracke, ca. 1-jährig, mittelgross und 12 kg schwer. Der Kleine ist ein lebhafter Jungspunn, sehr anhänglich zu den Menschen und mit seinen Hundekumpels hat er keinerlei Probleme. Jagdhunde sind sehr anhängliche und sensible Hunde und Bricco leidet in seiner Betonbox sehr. Wer Bricco ein Zuhause schenken möchte muss sich bewusst sein, dass diese Hunderasse über einen «Jagdinstinkt» verfügt, d.h. dass man ihn wohl im Wald nicht unbedingt freilaufen lassen kann. Nichts desto trotz wünscht sich dieser schöne Hund ein Für-Immer-Zuhause bei Menschen, welche sich mit solchen Rassehunden auskennen. Er wäre sicher sehr gut zum Joggen geeignet, oder einen Hundesport, wo er seine Energie auspowern kann.

About Bricco

What life with Bricco looks like

Bricco is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at SOS Strassenhunde in Sos Strassenhunde.

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). Many animals leave sterilized and chipped, but confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bricco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bricco?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SOS Strassenhunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bricco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bricco if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask SOS Strassenhunde whether they will for Bricco, what they require (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 Bricco already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Bricco. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SOS Strassenhunde, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bricco isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SOS Strassenhunde about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bricco 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.
