Adopt Filou

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 3 months

Filou – ready to discover the world Filou is exactly what a puppy should be: lively, playful, eager to explore, curious, open, and carefree. On our farm, Filou has contact with various people; women, men, and also children. He is stroked, held firmly, and lifted up. The little one plays with his siblings and also learns to know adult dogs. Since the animal shelter is located near a well-traveled road, he is also accustomed to car noise. He learns to know his leash and collar, and we also practice walking on the leash with him. For Filou, we are looking for people who are aware that time, patience, and friendly consequences are needed to accompany a young dog in its development. People who have this time and who are happy to show him more of the world and grow together with him into a real team. Attending a good dog training class is certainly also worthwhile. We do not know the parents of Filou, but we think he should be around medium size. Filou can depart at the end of April. Direct adoption upon arrival in Switzerland or picking him up in Hungary is preferred. We would be very happy to provide more information! Since he is still too young for castration at the time of surrender, he will be rehomed with a castration requirement.

Filou – munterer und vifer Junghund Filou kam zusammen mit seiner Mutter und Schwester auf unseren Tierschutzhof. Die Mutter ist 42 cm gross, der Vater ist unbekannt. Wir können uns aber gut vorstellen, dass ein Mudi oder Mudi-Mix «mitgemischt» hat. Filou ist ein aufgeweckter, fröhlicher und neugieriger Welpe, so richtig bereit, die Welt zu entdecken! Bei uns auf dem Hof hat Filou Kontakt mit verschiedenen Menschen; Frauen, Männern und auch Kindern. Er wird gestreichelt, auch mal festgehalten und hochgehoben. Der Kleine spielt mit seiner Schwester und lernt auch erwachsene Hunde kennen. Da das Tierheim an einer gut befahrenen Strasse liegt, ist er sich auch Autolärm gewohnt. Filou lernt Halsband und Gstältli kennen, wir üben mit ihm das Laufen an der Leine und machen auch spielerische Übungen mit verschiedenen Geräten und Untergründen. Für Filou suchen wir Menschen, die sich bewusst sind, dass man Zeit, Geduld und freundliche Konsequenz braucht, um einen jungen Hund in seiner Entwicklung zu begleiten. Menschen, die über diese Zeit verfügen und die Freude haben, ihm noch viel von der Welt zu zeigen und mit ihm zu einem richtigen Team zusammen zu wachsen. Auch der Besuch einer guten Hundeschule und später vielleicht eine passende Auslastung wäre sicher sinnvoll. Filou ist ein aufgeweckter, fröhlicher, unbeschwerter und neugieriger junger Hund, so richtig bereit, die Welt zu entdecken! Filou kann Ende Juni ausreisen. Bevorzugt wird Direktadoption bei Ankunft in der Schweiz oder auch selber Abholen in Ungarn ist möglich. Wir geben sehr gerne nähere Auskunft! Da er bei Abgabe noch zu jung ist für eine Kastration wird er mit Kastrationspflicht vermittelt.

About Filou

What life with Filou looks like

Filou is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs in Yourheart4dogs.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇨🇭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 Filou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Filou?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Filou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Filou if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs 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 Filou 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 Filou 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 Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Filou 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.
