Circe und Ralpi

German Shorthaired Pointer · Male · Senior · 11 years

Photos and possibly video: On June 20, 2019, they are probably already very long together. Circe is a very snuggly and loving female dog who is well taken care of and protected by her Ralpi. People are no problem; they are also welcome with him, but he believes he needs to protect her from other dogs and says this the moment someone comes into the vicinity. The two are together in a pen, and so I could only experience them together during my visit. The wish is also that the two can stay together. April 4....

Fotos und ev. Video : 20.06.2019 die beiden sind wohl schon sehr lange zusammen. Circe ist eine sehr schmusige und liebe Hündin, die von ihrem Ralpi sehr umsorgt und auch bewacht wird. Menschen sind da kein Problem, die sind auch bei ihm willkommen, aber vor anderen Hunden glaubt er sie beschützen zu müssen und sagt das gleich mal wenn einer in die Nähe kommt. Die beiden sind zusammen in einem Zwinger und so konnte ich sie bei meinem Besuch auch nur zusammen erleben. Der Wunsch ist eben auch, dass die beiden zusammen bleiben dürfen. 04.04..2019 Infos folgen

About Circe und Ralpi

What life with Circe und Ralpi looks like

Circe und Ralpi is a senior german shorthaired pointer dog waiting at Tierhilfe Arme Pfoten in Arme Pfoten.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇨🇭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 Circe und Ralpi, answered.

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