Calvin, ein sanfter Freund

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Unfortunately, there are always unreliable providers who want to make money through fraud. That's why it's important to carefully check the animal listing and the seller. Here are some signs that should make you suspicious: Let us introduce you to Calvin, a mixed-breed male dog born in 2024, with a shoulder height of about 50 cm. Calvin was rehomed to a couple from an animal shelter in Portugal when he was a very young puppy. Due to a separation, he was now returned to the shelter. Currently, Calvin is again living in this animal shelter in Portugal, and we now wish to find him a loving home where he not only finds a place but also truly belongs. Calvin is still a bit insecure at the beginning. One can sense that he has not had the chance to learn much in his young life and that some experiences and security are missing. At the same time, he is a sensitive, finely tuned, and very affectionate dog who, with a little patience and loving companionship, quickly shows what a wonderful companion lies within him. If he is given peace, reliability, and time, he begins to trust and opens up cautiously.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Calvin, ein sanfter Freund, answered.

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