How do I contact the shelter about Caramel?

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 Caramel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Caramel 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 Caramel 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 Caramel 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 Caramel 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.

Caramel

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Caramel is a friendly Pomeranian/Zwergspitz female, approximately 30 cm tall and weighing around 5 kg. She was born on April 10, 2018, and was spayed. Caramel is currently in foster care in Switzerland and is looking for her forever home. She is a sweet and reserved dog who has been socialized with other dogs and cats in her foster home. We suspect that Caramel may have been a breeding dog and has had limited experience with humans. She is adjusting well to her new environment and is eager to learn and explore. Caramel is a gentle and affectionate dog who needs time to build trust with her humans. She is shy and unsure in new situations, but is also curious and is making steady progress. Caramel enjoys playing and being petted in a safe environment, but also needs her own space to observe her surroundings. As a Pomeranian/Zwergspitz, she has a double coat that requires daily grooming. Caramel is a calm and patient dog who enjoys quiet walks and exploring at her own pace. She is already comfortable with being alone for a few hours. We are looking for a patient and loving home for Caramel where she can be introduced to new experiences at her own pace and explore the world around her. We envision Caramel in a quiet, rural environment without children, where she can receive the attention and care she needs without being overwhelmed. A well-socialized and environmentally secure first dog of her size could provide her with a sense of security. If you think you could be Caramel's forever family, please contact us by email.

Pflegestelle Schweiz Weiblich, kastriert Geboren ca. 10.04.2018 Pomeranian Zwergspitz Höhe ca. 30 cm / Gewicht ca. 5 kgCaramel darf, nach Absprache mit uns, gerne auf ihrer Pflegestelle besucht und kennengelernt werden. Aus der Perrera in Vinaros durfte am 20. April 2026 die noch zurückhaltende süsse Zwergspitz Hündin Caramel bei Monika im Haus einziehen. Sie versteht sich mit allen Hunden und Katzen im Haus von Monika gut und taut immer mehr auf. Wir vermuten bei Caramel eine Vergangenheit als Vermehrerhündin und dass sie noch nicht viel kennengelernt hat. Seit Ende Juni lebt sie nun auf einer liebevollen Pflegestelle in der Schweiz und wartet noch auf ihr passendes für immer zu Hause.Caramel ist eine freundliche Hündin, die Zeit braucht, bis sie sich vertrauensvoll ihren Menschen zuwenden kann. Wenn sie zu stark bedrängt wird, kann sie das klar kommunizieren, was auch respektiert werden sollte. Sie zeigt sich in neuen Situationen noch schreckhaft und unsicher, jedoch auch neugierig und macht nun stetig Fortschritte. Im sicheren Umfeld spielt Caramel bereits gerne und lässt sich streicheln, braucht aber auch ihren Rückzugsort, da sie gerne alles beobachtet. Als Zwergspitz hat sie ein rassetypisches Doppelfell, welches tägliche Pflege erfordert. Draussen, auf ruhigen Spaziergängen, braucht es Geduld, um der hübschen Caramel alles in ihrem Tempo näherzubringen. Das Alleine bleiben klappt für wenige Stunden bereits gut.Für unsere wundervolle Caramel wünschen wir uns ein sehr geduldiges, eher ländliches zu Hause wo sie mit Liebe an Neues herangeführt wird und die Welt in ihrem Tempo erkunden darf. Wir sehen die sensible Hündin eher in einem ruhigen Umfeld ohne Kinder, wo man Zeit für sie hat, und sie fördert, ohne zu überfordern. Ein gut sozialisierter, umweltsicherer Ersthund in ihrer Grösse, könnte ihr Sicherheit vermitteln. Bist du Caramels Herzensmensch, dann melde dich gerne per E-Mail bei uns.

About Caramel

What life with Caramel looks like

Caramel is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz in Switzerland.

An 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.
