Doogy

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 12 years

Hello! My name is Doogy, I am a mixed-breed poodle, a neutered male. I am now looking for a stable home, one that will listen to me and, above all, one without children. Unfortunately, I was never taught good manners, such as not running off and barking at bikes, cars, people, and so on. On walks with the caretakers at the Oasis, I don't play the fool, and I know I must behave well. My future human companion will therefore need to be confident and know dogs well in order to keep up this progress.

Bonjour ! Je m’appelle Doogy, je suis un caniche croisé, mâle castré. Je recherche maintenant un foyer stable, à mon écoute et surtout sans enfants. Malheureusement, on ne m’a pas appris les bonnes manières, comme par exemple à ne pas courir et à aboyer après les vélos, les voitures, les gens, etc. Avec les gardiennes de l’Oasis, en balade, je ne fais pas le malin et je sais que je dois bien me comporter. Mon futur humain de compagnie devra alors être sûr de lui et bien connaître les chiens pour continuer dans cette lancée.

About Doogy

What life with Doogy looks like

Doogy is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Oasis des vétérans.

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). Many animals leave sterilized and chipped, but confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Doogy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Doogy?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Oasis des vétérans handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Doogy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Doogy if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Oasis des vétérans whether they will for Doogy, what they require (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 Doogy already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Oasis des vétérans lists Doogy as neutered or spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Oasis des vétérans, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Doogy isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Oasis des vétérans about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Doogy 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 (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
