How do I contact the shelter about Erica?

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

Can I adopt Erica 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 Erica 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 Erica 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 Erica 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.

Adopt Erica

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Erica – An active young female dog with a big heart is looking for her family. The enchanting Erica was born around October 2024 in Romania and was then abandoned at the animal shelter by our animal rescuer, along with her mother and two siblings. Erica is a medium-sized female dog with a gentle nature and an active temperament. Since May 3, 2025, she has been living in a loving foster home, where she has already developed wonderfully. For rides in the car, Erica has no problem – quite the opposite: she eagerly gets in and enjoys the ride. At her young age, she is very playful, loves to run, and be active outdoors. For people who enjoy movement and like to spend time with a sporty dog, Erica is the perfect companion. Initially, she meets strangers with a bit of reserve, but if given a moment, she quickly warms up and becomes very clingy and cuddly. For Erica, we are searching for a loving home – preferably with a confident single dog, but that is not necessary – with people who want to show her the world with patience and heart.

Erica – Aktive Junghündin mit großem Herz sucht ihre Familie Die zauberhafte Erica wurde etwa im Oktober 2024 in Rumänien geboren und wurde dann vor dem Tierheim unserer Tierschützerin, zusammen mit ihrer Mutter und den beiden Geschwistern, ausgesetzt. Erica ist eine mittelgroße Hündin mit einem sanften Wesen und einem aktiven Temperament. Seit dem 3. Mai 2025 lebt sie auf einer liebevollen Pflegestelle , wo sie sich bereits wunderbar entwickelt hat. Im Auto mitzufahren ist für Erica kein Problem – im Gegenteil: Sie steigt gerne ein und genießt die Fahrt. In ihrem jungen Alter ist sie sehr verspielt, liebt es zu rennen und draußen aktiv zu sein. Für Menschen, die Freude an Bewegung haben und gerne Zeit mit einem sportlichen Hund verbringen, ist Erica die perfekte Begleiterin. Fremden Menschen begegnet sie zunächst mit etwas Zurückhaltung, doch wenn man ihr einen Moment gibt, taut sie schnell auf und zeigt sich dann sehr anhänglich und verschmust. Für Erica suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause – gerne mit einem souveränen Ersthund, ist aber kein muss – bei Menschen, die ihr mit Geduld und Herz die Welt zeigen möchten.

About Erica

What life with Erica looks like

Erica is a medium-sized 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.
