Geronimo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Origin Country: Spain This cute, curious, and cheerful boy is named Jeronimo. He’s always ready for walks, but he still needs to work on being on the leash. With some training, though, he’ll surely learn quickly. He enjoys cuddles and loves it when someone engages with him. At the animal shelter, he lives together with other female dogs, and it works well; he plays happily with them. He also shows no unusual behavior towards other female dogs. Generally, he’s more submissive with us, but one should be aware of his weight and size. Therefore, we are looking for steadfast people who understand what it means to pull 43 kilograms on the leash. We do not place Jeronimo with small children, as he might accidentally run over them in his excitement.

Ursprungsland: Spanien Dieser hübsche, neugierige und fröhliche Junge heisst Jeronimo. Für Spaziergänge ist er immer zu haben aber an der Leinenführigkeit muss noch gearbeitet werden. Mit etwas Training wird er das aber sicherlich schnell lernen. Er geniesst Streicheleinheiten und liebt es, wenn man sich mit ihm beschäftigt. Im Tierheim lebt er zusammen mit anderen Hündinnen, was gut klappt und er spielt gerne mit ihnen. Auch zeigt er keine Auffälligkeiten, was andere Rüden anbelangt. Generell zeigt er sich bei uns eher unterwürfig, aber man sollte sich seinem Gewicht und Grösse dennoch bewusst sein. Deshalb suchen wir standhafte Menschen, die sich bewusst sind ,was es heisst, wenn 43 Kilo an der Leine ziehen. Wir vermitteln Jeronimo nicht zu kleinen Kindern, da er diese in seiner Euphorie vermutlich umrennen würde.

About Geronimo

What life with Geronimo looks like

Geronimo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Happyend in Animal Happyend.

An 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 Geronimo, answered.

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