Adopt Buddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 9 months

Male, has been neutered Born around August 27, 2025Podenco Maneto mixed breed Still growing, currently around 38 cm / 11 kgCare facility in Spain: Refugio Amposta The wonderful male dog Buddy arrived at Monika's refugio in Perrera, Vinaros on February 15, 2026, and gets along well with all his fellow animals. As a young pup, he is still playful and carefree on the go. Anaïs and Daniela got to personally meet Buddy during their visit to the refugio and are totally smitten with the, for his age, rather quiet and cuddly little boy. During the first attempts outside the familiar environment and with a chest harness and leash, the dear Buddy was a bit awkward on the go, but he oriented himself very well towards humans. Buddy is now looking for his own family, preferably with children / dog buddies who will raise him with love and patience and show him how wonderful life is. We wish for people with time who enjoy spending time in nature and want to properly engage and tire out the puppy. Have you also fallen in love with the "cotton candy" and have the time to help Buddy adapt to his new life, then feel free to contact us via email.

Männlich, reist kastriert Geboren ca. 27.08.2025Podenco Maneto Mischling Im Wachstum, zurzeit ca. 38 cm / ca. 11 kgPflegestelle Spanien: Refugio AmpostaDer wunderschöne Rüde Buddy kam am 15. Februar 2026 aus der Perrera in Vinaros zu Monika in ihr Refugio und versteht sich gut mit all seinen Artgenossen. Junghundetypisch ist er noch verspielt und unbeschwert unterwegs. Anaïs und Daniela durften ihn im Rahmen ihres Besuchs im Refugio persönlich kennenlernen und sind total verliebt in den, für sein Alter, eher ruhigen, verschmusten Buben. Bei den ersten Versuchen ausserhalb des gewohnten Umfeldes und mit Brustgeschirr und Leine ausgestattet war der liebe Buddy noch etwas unbeholfen unterwegs, hat sich jedoch sehr gerne am Menschen orientiert.Buddy sucht nun seine eigene Familie, gerne mit Kindern / Hundekumpel, die ihn mit Liebe und Geduld erzieht und ihm zeigt, wie schön das Leben ist. Wir wünschen uns Menschen mit Zeit, die sich gerne in der Natur aufhalten und das Hundekind ordentlich beschäftigen und auslasten wollen. Hast du dich auch in den „Zuckerbollä“ verliebt und hast die nötige Zeit um Buddy an das neue Leben heranzuführen, dann melde dich gerne per Email bei uns.

About Buddy

What life with Buddy looks like

Buddy is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz in Switzerland.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇨🇭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 Buddy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Buddy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Buddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Buddy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ANDANA Pfotenhilfe 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 Buddy 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 Buddy 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 ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Buddy 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.
