How do I contact the shelter about Canelo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. home4dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Canelo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Canelo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — home4dogs 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 Canelo 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 Canelo 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 home4dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Canelo 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.

Canelo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Ca. 2,5 Jahre (geb. ca. 01.01.2024) 47 cm, 12 kg männlich, kastriert Leishmaniosetest negativ am 23.06.2026, wird vor der Ausreise nochmals getestet Noch in unserem Partnertierheim in Spanien Canelo – ein ausgeglichener, lieber Rüde Canelo ist ein ausgeglichener und unkomplizierter Rüde, der sich gut mit anderen Hunden versteht und auch an der Leine schön spazieren geht. Menschen gegenüber zeigt er sich freundlich und anhänglich, spielt gerne und geniesst die Aufmerksamkeit – gleichzeitig ist er ein eher selbstständiger Hund, der auch gut seine eigenen Wege gehen kann. Canelo hat bisher eine eher ungewöhnliche Aufgabe gehabt: Er wurde als Therapiehund eingesetzt und begleitete Menschen in Schulen und Krankenhäusern. Dabei war er sowohl bei Kindern als auch bei kranken Menschen im Einsatz. Vermutlich wurde diese Arbeit jedoch etwas zu intensiv betrieben. Mit der Zeit schien Canelo von den vielen Therapien und dem ständigen Kontakt mit Menschen müde geworden zu sein und machte gegen Ende eines langen Tages manchmal nicht mehr richtig mit. Wir können gut verstehen, dass auch ein Therapiehund zwischendurch einfach einmal Ruhe braucht. Nun wünschen wir uns für Canelo ein Zuhause, in dem er nicht mehr funktionieren muss, sondern einfach Hund sein darf. Ein Ort, an dem er geliebt wird, schöne Spaziergänge unternehmen kann, spielen darf und genügend Zeit zum Entspannen hat. 🧡 Canelo braucht keine hundeerfahrenen Menschen. Er eignet sich auch für Menschen, die bisher noch keinen eigenen Hund hatten und sich einen freundlichen, ausgeglichenen Begleiter wünschen. Mit seiner angenehmen Art könnte er wunderbar zu einer Familie oder auch zu Einzelpersonen passen. Wer Canelo kennenlernt, wird schnell merken, dass hinter seiner ruhigen und ausgeglichenen Art ein lieber Hund steckt, der nun vor allem eines verdient: ein Zuhause, in dem er einfach Canelo sein darf.

About Canelo

What life with Canelo looks like

Canelo is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at home4dogs in Home4dogs.

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.
