Calvin, ein sanfter Freund

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Here are some tips for safe pet buying: We would like to introduce you to Calvin: a mixed breed male dog born in 2024 with a shoulder height of about 50 cm. Calvin was placed by an animal shelter in Portugal with a couple when he was very young. Due to a separation, he has now been returned there. Currently, Calvin lives again at this animal shelter in Portugal and we would like him to find a loving home where he can not only stay but really feel welcome. Calvin is initially still a bit uncertain. You can sense that he hasn't had much experience in his young life and lacks some security. At the same time, he is a sensitive, perceptive and very sweet dog who quickly shows what a wonderful companion he is with patience and loving guidance. If you give him peace, reliability and time, he begins to trust and cautiously open up.

Leider gibt es immer wieder unseriöse Anbieter, die mit Betrug Geld verdienen möchten. Deshalb ist es wichtig, das Tierinserat sowie den Verkäufer genau zu prüfen. Hier einige Hinweise, die dich misstrauisch machen sollten: Weitere nützliche Informationen zum sicheren Tierkauf Dürfen wir Ihnen Calvin vorstellen: einen Mischlingsrüden, geboren im Jahr 2024, mit einer Schulterhöhe von etwa 50 cm. Calvin wurde als ganz junger Welpe von einem Tierheim in Portugal an ein Ehepaar vermittelt. Aufgrund einer Trennung wurde er nun wieder dorthin zurückgebracht. Zurzeit lebt Calvin erneut in diesem Tierheim in Portugal, und wir wünschen uns nun sehr für ihn ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er nicht nur unterkommt, sondern wirklich ankommen darf. Calvin ist anfangs noch ein wenig unsicher. Man spürt, dass er in seinem jungen Leben bisher noch nicht viel kennenlernen durfte und ihm manche Erfahrungen und Sicherheiten fehlen. Gleichzeitig ist er ein sensibler, feinfühliger und sehr lieber Hund, der mit etwas Geduld und liebevoller Begleitung schnell zeigt, was für ein wunderbarer Gefährte in ihm steckt. Wenn man ihm Ruhe, Verlässlichkeit und Zeit schenkt, beginnt er Vertrauen zu fassen und sich vorsichtig zu öffnen.

About Calvin, ein sanfter Freund

What life with Calvin, ein sanfter Freund looks like

Calvin, ein sanfter Freund is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Petsearch.ch in Zurich.

An 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.
