Connor

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Connor was found in the region of Seville in a very neglected condition. No owner could be found. Therefore, he came to our partner organization, where he was cared for and nursed back to health. Now he is with us and ready for a wonderful new home. Connor, the cuddly bear. Connor is a charming little mixed-breed male dog with a gentle and loving nature. He enjoys the attention and his new daily life here in Switzerland. The hustle and bustle in the dog room with his furry companions is sometimes too much for him; he prefers a quiet and cozy environment. Character and temperament - Basic temperament: calm, cautious, playful - Trust towards people: immediately open - Enthusiasm for contact, approaching: actively seeking and clingy - Social behavior towards dogs: social. Occasionally, Connor is tempted to play with his female colleagues, but he would rather be with humans. - Social behavior towards cats: not tested Behavior and everyday skills - Uncertainties: During feeding, he likes to have his peace and not be pressured by other dogs. He cannot handle pressure or too much commotion, as he then withdraws - Ability to adapt to new situations: good - Exploratory behavior: He is cautious, but also shows a good amount of curiosity. Activity level - Desire for movement: moderate - Walking on a leash: very good, he walks on the leash like an experienced professional. - Willingness to learn: moderate - Hunting drive: low We are looking for people who can offer Connor a quiet home, who would like to integrate him into their daily life and give him the necessary security and structure. Due to his dense coat, Connor requires regular grooming and visits to the dog groomer. Also, the care around his eyes must not be neglected. Therefore, future owners must be willing to invest a bit more time into his coat care. Connor is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered and tested for Mediterranean diseases. Interested?

Connor wurde in der Region Sevilla völlig verwahrlost aufgefunden. Ein Besitzer konnte nicht gefunden werden. So kam er zu unserer Partnerorganisation, wurde dort versorgt und wieder aufgepäppelt. Nun ist er bei uns und bereit für ein tolles neues Zuhause. Connor, der Knuddelbär. Connor ist ein entzückender kleiner Mischlingsrüde mit einem sanften und liebevollen Wesen. Er geniesst die Aufmerksamkeit und seinen neu gewonnen Alltag hier in der Schweiz. Der Trubel im Hundezimmer mit seinen Fellkollegen ist ihm manchmal etwas zu viel, er hat es lieber ruhig und gemütlich. Charakter und Wesen – Grundtemperament: ruhig, vorsichtig, verspielt– Vertrauen zu Menschen: sofort offen– Kontaktfreude, Annäherung: aktiv suchend und anhänglich– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Hunden: Sozial. Ab und zu lässt sich Connor zu einem Spiel mit seinen Kolleginnen hinreissen, aber er ist lieber mit dem Menschen unterwegs– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Katzen: nicht getestet Verhalten und Alltagskompetenz– Unsicherheiten: Beim Füttern möchte er gerne seine Ruhe haben und nicht von anderen Hunden bedrängt werden. Mit Druck bzw. allzu grosser Hektik kann er nicht umgehen, da zieht er sich zurück– Anpassungsfähigkeit an neue Situationen: gut– Erkundungsverhalten: Er ist vorsichtig, zeigt aber auch eine gute Portion Neugier Bewegungs- und Aktivitätslevel– Bewegungsdrang: mittel– Leinenführigkeit: Sehr gut, er läuft an der Leine wie ein alter Routinier.– Lernbereitschaft: mittel– Jagdmotivation: gering Wir wünschen uns für Connor Menschen, die ihm ein ruhiges Zuhause bieten können, die ihn gerne in ihren Alltag integrieren und ihm die nötige Sicherheit und Struktur geben. Aufgrund seines dichten Fellkleides benötigt Connor regelmässige Pflege und Besuche beim Hundefriseur. Auch die Pflege rund um die Augen darf nicht vernachlässigt werden. Zukünftige Besitzer müssen daher bereit sein, etwas mehr Zeit in seine Fellpflege zu investieren. Connor ist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Interessiert?

About Connor

What life with Connor looks like

Connor is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz in Waltenschwil.

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 Connor, answered.

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