How do I contact the shelter about Brida?

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

Can I adopt Brida if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz 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 Brida 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 Brida 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 New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Brida 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.

Adopt Brida

Podenco · Female · Young · 1 year

Podencomix female dog 03.02.2025 58 cm Brida originally came from Spain and was taken in by the shelter Esperanza in Würenlos in March 2026. However, it quickly became clear that she is far too young for the senior round at the shelter. Therefore, we have decided to take Brida into our shelter to better integrate and challenge her. This gives her the chance for appropriate mental stimulation and a better chance at being adopted. Brida, the Sensitive. Brida hasn't seen much of the world yet. Exploring and processing stimuli are currently at the top of her list. She does this very well, and one can see the progress she has made in a short time. A walk is very exciting for her: there's something new here, and there's something to discover, and she can't decide which to explore. A calm and safe lead is important for her so she can structure herself and adapt to new situations with as little fuss as possible. Character and Nature—Temperament: clever, playful, active—Trust in humans: Initially she is more skeptical but warms up quickly.—Approachability, contact: searching. Once something more exciting for Brida appears, the human is no longer so interesting.—Social behavior towards dogs: She is social, but during play, she is a little whirlwind. Sometimes she needs to be held back.—Social behavior towards cats: not tested Behavior and Everyday Competence—Uncertainties: With too many new stimuli at once, such as with hectic people. —Adaptability to new situations: She needs a little time but then does it well.—Exploratory behavior: She is curious but also cautious. Activity Level—Exercise drive: very high, she needs a lot of movement and mental stimulation.—Leash training: still needs practice.—Learning readiness: moderate—Prey drive: present We wish for Brida active people who will attend the dog training classes with her, challenge her mentally and physically to Podenco level, and also offer her the necessary calm that is important for her healthy development. Brida is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, and tested for Mediterranean diseases. Interested?

Podencomix Hündin 03.02.2025 58 cm Brida stammt ursprünglich aus Spanien und wurde im März 2026 von der Tierstation Esperanza in Würenlos aufgenommen. Schnell zeigte sich jedoch, dass sie für die Seniorenrunde der Station viel zu jung ist. Daher haben wir uns entschieden, Brida bei uns auf der Station aufzunehmen, damit sie besser integriert und ausgelastet werden kann. Dadurch erhält sie die Chance auf eine tiergerechte Beschäftigung sowie eine bessere Vermittlungsperspektive. Brida, die Sensible. Viel hat Brida von der Welt noch nicht gesehen. Erkunden und Reize verarbeiten stehen momentan zuoberst auf dem Plan. Sie macht das sehr gut, und man sieht die Fortschritte, die Brida bereits in der kurzen Zeit gemacht hat. Ein Spaziergang ist sehr spannend für sie: Hier ist etwas Neues, und da ist etwas zu entdecken, da kann sie sich gar nicht entscheiden. Eine ruhige und sichere Führung ist wichtig für sie, damit sie sich strukturiert und mit möglichst wenig Hektik an neue Situationen gewöhnen kann. Charakter und Wesen– Grundtemperament: clever, verspielt, aktiv– Vertrauen zu Menschen: Anfänglich ist sie eher skeptisch, taut dann aber schnell auf.– Kontaktfreude, Annäherung: Suchend. Sobald jedoch etwas Spannenderes für Brida auftaucht, ist der Mensch nicht mehr so interessant.– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Hunden: Sie ist sozial, beim Spielen aber ein kleiner Wirbelwind. Da muss man sie ab und an mal bremsen.– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Katzen: nicht getestet Verhalten und Alltagskompetenz– Unsicherheiten: Bei zu vielen neuen Reizen auf einmal wie zum Beispiel bei hektischen Menschen. – Anpassungsfähigkeit an neue Situationen: Sie braucht ein bisschen Zeit, aber dann macht sie das prima.– Erkundungsverhalten: Sie ist neugierig, aber auch vorsichtig. Bewegungs- und Aktivitätslevel– Bewegungsdrang: Sehr hoch, sie benötigt viel Bewegung und mentale Auslastung.– Leinenführigkeit: Das muss noch geübt werden.– Lernbereitschaft: mittel– Jagdmotivation: vorhanden Wir wünschen uns für Brida aktive Menschen, die mit ihr die Hundeschule besuchen, sie mental und körperlich auf Podenco-Niveau auslasten, ihr aber auch die nötige Ruhe bieten, die für ihre gesunde Entwicklung wichtig ist. Brida ist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Interessiert? H I E R geht es zu unserer Adoptionsanfrage / Termine nur auf Voranmeldung

About Brida

What life with Brida looks like

Brida is a large young adult podenco dog waiting at New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz in Waltenschwil.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
