How do I contact the shelter about DJ?

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

Can I adopt DJ 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 DJ 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 DJ 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 DJ 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.

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Active Dog DJ Seeks Sporty Family! The beautiful DJ was found on the street with his siblings when he was about 2 months old. He found shelter with Alessandra and Alessandro at the charity organization Wunderhund. While his siblings have already found their own homes, DJ has been waiting eagerly for over 2 years. DJ is an alert, playful dog who is looking for a family as energetic as he is! He is curious and happy, always on the lookout for new adventures and challenges. DJ loves to play, run around, and be active with his people. Due to his stormy nature and energy, DJ is better suited in a home without small children. He needs people who can provide him with enough running space, attention, and mental stimulation. An active lifestyle is exactly what makes DJ happy – whether running, hiking, or playing in the garden. He is looking for a loving family that can give him the time and patience he needs to fully develop. If you have experience with dogs and want a playful, active dog who wants to live life to the fullest, DJ could be your perfect companion! DJ can be picked up directly in Petacciato, Italy, which is the most pleasant and stress-free option for the dog. Alternatively, a transport company can bring DJ to the Italian-Swiss border, where you can pick him up. We look forward to your application, which we will forward directly to the Wunderhund charity.

Aktiver Hund DJ sucht sportliche Familie! Der wunderschöne DJ wurde mit ca. 2 Monaten gemeinsam mit seinen Geschwistern auf der Straße gefunden. Er fand Zuflucht bei Alessandra und Alessandro im Hilfsverein Wunderhund. Während ihre Geschwister schon längst ihr eigenes Zuhause gefunden haben, wartet DJ nun schon seit über 2 Jahren sehnsüchtig auf seine Chance. DJ ist ein aufgeweckter, verspielter Hund, der eine Familie sucht, die genauso energiegeladen ist wie er! Er ist ein neugieriger und fröhlicher Hund, der immer auf der Suche nach neuen Abenteuern und Herausforderungen ist. DJ liebt es, zu spielen, zu toben und gemeinsam mit seinen Menschen aktiv zu sein. Aufgrund seiner stürmischen Art und seiner Energie ist DJ besser in einem Haushalt ohne kleine Kinder aufgehoben. Er braucht Menschen, die ihm genügend Auslauf, Aufmerksamkeit und geistige Stimulation bieten können. Ein aktiver Lebensstil ist genau das, was DJ glücklich macht – ob beim Joggen, Wandern oder beim Spielen im Garten. Er sucht eine liebevolle Familie, die ihm die Zeit und Geduld schenkt, die er braucht, um sich richtig zu entfalten. Wenn du Erfahrung im Umgang mit Hunden hast und Lust auf einen fröhlichen, aktiven Hund hast, der das Leben in vollen Zügen genießen möchte, dann könnte DJ dein perfekter Begleiter sein!DJ kann direkt in Petacciato, Italien abgeholt werden, was für den Hund die angenehmste und stressfreieste Option darstellt. Alternativ besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass ein Tiertransportunternehmen DJ bis an die italienisch-schweizerische Grenze bringt, wo du ihn dann entgegennehmen kannst. Wir freuen uns auf deine Bewerbung, welche wir gerne direkt an den Hilfsverein Wunderhund weiterleiten.

About DJ

What life with DJ looks like

DJ is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
