How do I contact the shelter about Hazel?

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

Can I adopt Hazel 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 Hazel 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 Hazel 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 Hazel 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.

Hazel

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Hazel is scheduled to travel to a foster home in the Canton of Zurich on July 17th. As soon as Hazel arrives and settles into her new environment, we will update her description with initial impressions and news. Hazel was discovered in Bucharest at the end of February 2026 along with her two daughters while Rodica protested against animal cruelty. The small family lived on a busy street and faced great danger every day. Hazel is a rather shy dog that approaches new situations cautiously. At the end of April 2026, our board personally met her at the shelter and was immediately touched by her calm, gentle aura. Hazel - the silent observerAs the oldest female in her group, Hazel lived with six puppies. She mastered the sometimes turbulent daily routine with impressive patience and composure. One thing that particularly stands out is her fine nature: when we went to the dogs with handfuls of treats, she never pushed herself forward. Instead, she observed the events calmly from the second row and waited patiently until it was her turn.Hazel is a dog with an especially gentle nature. She doesn't seek attention but approaches her environment respectfully and thoughtfully. We wish for her a quiet, loving home with people who understand her sensitive nature and give her the time she needs. With patience, empathy, and without expectations, Hazel will gradually gain trust and develop into a loyal companion.

Hazel darf am 17. Juli auf eine Pflegestelle im Kanton Zürich reisen.Sobald Hazel etwas angekommen ist und sich in ihrem neuen Umfeld einleben konnte, werden wir ihren Beschrieb mit ersten Eindrücken und Neuigkeiten ergänzen. Hazel wurde Ende Februar 2026 gemeinsam mit ihren beiden Töchtern in Bukarest entdeckt, als Rodica dort gegen das Tierleid demonstrierte. Die kleine Familie lebte an einer stark befahrenen Strasse und war Tag für Tag grossen Gefahren ausgesetzt.Hazel ist eine eher schüchterne Hündin, die neuen Situationen mit Vorsicht begegnet. Ende April 2026 durfte unser Vorstand sie persönlich im Shelter kennenlernen und war sofort von ihrer ruhigen, sanften Ausstrahlung berührt. Hazel – die stille BeobachterinAls älteste Hündin ihrer Gruppe lebte Hazel mit sechs Junghunden zusammen. Mit beeindruckender Geduld und Gelassenheit meisterte sie den manchmal turbulenten Alltag. Besonders in Erinnerung geblieben ist uns ihre feine Art: Wenn wir mit einer Handvoll Leckerlis zu den Hunden gingen, drängte sie sich nie in den Vordergrund. Stattdessen beobachtete sie das Geschehen ruhig aus der zweiten Reihe und wartete geduldig, bis sie an der Reihe war.Hazel ist eine Hündin mit einem besonders sanften Wesen. Sie sucht nicht die Aufmerksamkeit, sondern begegnet ihrer Umwelt respektvoll und bedacht. Für sie wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihre sensible Art verstehen und ihr die Zeit geben, die sie braucht. Mit Geduld, Einfühlungsvermögen und ohne Erwartungen wird Hazel Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen fassen und sich zu einer treuen Begleiterin entwickeln.

About Hazel

What life with Hazel looks like

Hazel is a 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.
