Adopt Dodo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Dodo had to leave his home because he chased the chickens. Luckily, our animal rescuer took him in; we can't imagine what would have happened to the little guy otherwise… Dodo is still very playful and curious due to his age and gets along well with all his doggy friends and even cats. With people, he is simply loving and wants to be cuddled. We are looking for a home for Dodo where he can learn what is expected both inside and outside of a household.

Dodo musste sein Zuhause verlassen, da er die Hühner gejagt hat. Zum Glück hat ihn unsere Tierschützerin übernommen, wir möchten uns nicht vorstellen, was sonst mit dem kleinen Kerl passiert wäre… Dodo ist altershalber noch sehr verspielt, neugierig und versteht sich gut mit all seinen Hundekumpels und auch mit Katzen. Zu Menschen ist er einfach nur lieb und möchte geknuddelt werden. Wir suchen für Dodo ein Zuhause, wo er die Zeit bekommt zu lernen, was sich in und ausserhalb eines Haushalts so gehört. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle wird der Hund mit einem offiziellen Transporter in die Schweiz gebracht und an einem abgemachten Abholort übergeben.

About Dodo

What life with Dodo looks like

Dodo is a small 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dodo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dodo?
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 Dodo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dodo 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 Dodo 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 Dodo 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 Dodo 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.
