How do I contact the shelter about Diego?

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

Can I adopt Diego if I live in another country?

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

Diego

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Diego is looking for a new home or foster home due to a separation. Diego is seeking a suitable new home with experienced dog owners who enjoy an active and character-strong companion. Diego was born on September 30, 2024. He is friendly with children, gets along well with other dogs, and meets strangers with a friendly demeanor. At home, he is very cuddly and enjoys being close to his people. At night, he sleeps well and quietly. He has a lot of energy and a high need for movement—jogging is one of his favorite activities. At the same time, Diego needs good management between activity and rest phases. He embodies typical traits of a herding dog: he is independent, stubborn, and does not readily submit. Therefore, he needs clear leadership, consistent boundaries, and people with dog experience. Work is already being done on certain topics, and Diego is making progress: we would like to see Diego in a loving but independent home with enough time, patience, and understanding for his needs. This animal is good with children.

DE·Show original

Diego sucht aufgrund veränderter Lebensumstände ein neues Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle. Der verschmuste Rüde ist menschenbezogen, freundlich und geniesst die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen sehr. Zuhause zeigt er sich ruhig, schläft nachts entspannt und versteht sich gut mit Kindern, anderen Hunden sowie fremden Menschen. Diego liebt Bewegung und ist gerne aktiv unterwegs – besonders Joggen macht ihm grossen Spass. Gleichzeitig profitiert er von klaren Strukturen und ausreichend Ruhephasen. Typisch für einen Herdenschutzhundmischling bringt Diego einen eigenständigen Charakter mit und sucht deshalb Menschen, die ihm liebevoll Sicherheit und Orientierung geben können. An Themen wie Hundebegegnungen und Leinenführigkeit wird bereits erfolgreich gearbeitet und Diego macht dabei schöne Fortschritte. Für die richtigen Menschen ist Diego ein loyaler, liebevoller Begleiter mit viel Potenzial. Wir wünschen uns für ihn ein Zuhause mit Zeit, Geduld und Freude daran, gemeinsam weiterzuwachsen.

About Diego

What life with Diego looks like

Diego is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Glückshunde Schweiz in Glueckshunde.

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.
