Gina

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Our dear Gina is still at the very beginning of her and must first learn to trust us two-legged creatures. At the moment, she is not yet ready to be touched. Gina is a curious little dog. She observes attentively what is happening around her, and you can tell she would really like to get closer, she just doesn't know quite how. Often she is already very close and just needs a little bit of courage and trust. It is especially nice that she takes treats from the hand very relaxed. Such small moments show us that Gina is slowly building trust. With her dog friends, Gina shows herself to be social and playful. She feels comfortable in their company and enjoys the shared moments. That's why we would very much like to place Gina as a second dog, but this is not a must. Dear Gina, we are very happy that you are with us at Muhmenthal. We give you the time you need and are happy about every small step you take. We are sure: The moment when you can enjoy petting and take beautiful walks with your people will come. Maybe even faster than we think today. We believe in you, little Gina. 🐾❤️

Unsere liebe Gina steht noch ganz am Anfang ihres Vermittlungsprozesses und muss erst lernen, uns Zweibeinern zu vertrauen. Im Moment ist sie noch nicht so weit, dass sie sich anfassen lässt. Dabei ist Gina eine neugierige kleine Hündin. Sie beobachtet aufmerksam, was um sie herum passiert, und man merkt, dass sie eigentlich gerne näherkommen möchte, sie weiss einfach noch nicht so recht, wie. Oft ist sie schon ganz nah dran und braucht nur noch ein kleines bisschen Mut und Vertrauen. Besonders schön ist, dass sie Leckerli bereits ganz entspannt aus der Hand nimmt. Solche kleinen Momente zeigen uns, dass Gina langsam Vertrauen aufbaut. Mit ihren Hundefreunden zeigt sich Gina sozial und verspielt. In ihrer Gesellschaft fühlt sie sich wohl und geniesst die gemeinsamen Momente. Deshalb würden wir Gina sehr gerne auch als Zweithund vermitteln, dies ist aber kein Muss. Liebe Gina, wir freuen uns sehr, dass du bei uns im Muhmenthal bist. Wir geben dir die Zeit, die du brauchst, und freuen uns über jeden noch so kleinen Schritt, den du machst. Wir sind uns sicher: Der Moment, in dem du Streicheleinheiten geniessen und gemeinsam mit deinen Menschen schöne Spaziergänge unternehmen kannst, wird kommen. Vielleicht sogar schneller, als wir heute denken. Wir glauben an dich, kleine Gina. 🐾❤️

About Gina

What life with Gina looks like

Gina is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tiervermittlungen.ch in Elsau.

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 Gina, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gina?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tiervermittlungen.ch handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gina if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tiervermittlungen.ch 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Gina 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 Gina 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 Tiervermittlungen.ch early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gina 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.
