Cora

Dogo Argentino · Female · Senior · 12 years

Cora is a rather large bundle of lovable personality. This beautiful female dog has a heart of gold, is very people-oriented, and plays gently and affectionately with every human. Cora, like many Dogo Argentinos, is deaf. However, her deafness does not bother her at all, and her eager and intelligent nature has allowed her to learn basic commands like sit, stay, and heel almost as quickly as her hearing counterparts. She is always motivated by mental challenges like fetch and tracking. She walks well on a leash, and while she can be led by men as tall as 6'3", this is a matter of leadership quality and confidence. Her size and strength must not be overlooked, however. Cora is relaxed on walks with other dog friends and enjoys socializing. She gets along well with balanced male dogs, but her preferences for female dogs are based on compatibility. We would recommend her as a single dog only. Our Coraleen loves long walks, but she also enjoys taking breaks to nap in the sun. Whether it's hiking, agility courses, or swimming, Cora loves action. She handles car, train, and cable car rides with ease, and she is also familiar with life at home, where she is calm, relaxed, and house-trained. It would be a matter of the heart for us if this wonderful furry face, whose nose actually has a heart shape, could find a new home in her prime. We are looking for experienced, confident, and responsible dog owners. If a confident dog lover has fallen for Cora but is unable to take her home, she would also be very happy with regular walks. The keeping of a Dogo Argentino is subject to permits in some cantons.

Ein ziemlich grosser Brocken pure Liebenswürdigkeit, das ist unsere Cora. Diese wunderschöne Hundedame hat ein Herz aus Gold, ist sehr menschenbezogen und geht lieb und verspielt mit jedem Zweibeiner um. Cora ist, wie nicht selten bei Dogo Argentinos, taub. Ihre Taubheit stört sie jedoch gar nicht und durch ihre lernfreudige und intelligente Art hat sie Grundkommandos wie Sitz, Platz, Bleib und Fuss fast noch schneller gelernt als ihre hörenden Kollegen. Bei Kopfarbeit wie Apportieren, Fährtenarbeit etc. ist sie immer motiviert dabei. Sie läuft sehr gut an der Leine, wobei nicht nur 1.90m grosse Männer sie problemlos führen können, sondern dies eine Frage der Führungsqualität und Souveränität ist. Ihre Masse und Kraft dürfen trotzdessen natürlich nicht unbeachtet bleiben. Cora ist auf Spaziergängen mit anderen Hundefreunden sehr entspannt und geniesst das Beisammensein. Mit ausgeglichenen Rüden versteht sie sich gut, bei anderen Hundedamen entscheidet die Sympathie. Wir würden sie dennoch nur als Einzelhund empfehlen. Unser Coralein liebt laaaaange Spaziergänge, aber für ihr Nickerchen in der Sonne mag sie diese auch gerne einmal unterbrechen. Seien es Wanderungen, Balanceparcours oder Schwimmausflüge, Cora liebt Action. Auto-, Zug- und Gondelfahrten meistert sie problemlos und auch das Leben zuhause kennt sie und zeigt sich ruhig, entspannt und stubenrein. Es wäre für uns eine Herzensangelegenheit, wenn diese wundervolle Fellnase, deren Näschen tatsächlich auch eine Herzchenform hat, noch einmal in ihren besten Tagen ein eigenes Zuhause haben dürfte. Wir sprechen aufgrund ihrer Rasse erfahrene, souveräne und verantwortungsvolle Interessenten an. Falls sich ein souveräner Hundeliebhaber in Cora verguckt hat, aber es ihm leider aus Gründen nicht möglich ist, sie nach Hause zu nehmen, würde sie sich auch über regelmässige Spaziergänge sehr, sehr freuen. Die Haltung eines Dogo Argentinos ist je nach Kanton bewilligungspflichtig.

About Cora

What life with Cora looks like

Cora is a large senior dogo argentino dog waiting at Tiervermittlungen.ch in Elsau.

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 Cora, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cora?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tiervermittlungen.ch handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cora on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cora if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tiervermittlungen.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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Cora 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 Cora 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 Tiervermittlungen.ch early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cora 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.
