Adopt India

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

India came from a household in Sevilla where over 40 dogs lived. The woman there was completely overwhelmed by the situation. There was a lack of everything – space, food, and care. Our partner organization rescued India from this misery. Now she is safe and waiting for her new life with us. India, the lively one. India has thawed out and, after her initial shyness, shows herself to be an open and playful young female dog. When she then receives full attention, she is happy and enjoys the cuddles. If something doesn’t please her, or she feels like she has to wait too long, she can show it through barking. Character and nature – basic temperament: lively, playful, friendly – Trust in humans: India does not approach people directly. If she knows a person, however, she warms up quickly. – Affection, approach: waiting, friendly – Social behavior towards dogs: social – Social behavior towards cats: not tested Behavior and everyday competence – Uncertainties: Sudden movements towards her to slightly intimidate her. – Adaptability to new situations: At first, India is always a little skeptical, but she is then easily convinced. – Curiosity: curious – Energy and activity level – Energy drive: moderate – Leash behavior: good, but still trainable – Trainability: moderate. She likes to observe and needs to trust more, because she is really clever. – Hunting motivation: present We wish for India people who will give her the necessary time to settle in and then gradually show her the world. India would be happy with a second dog, but she would not find life as a single princess bad either. India is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, and tested for Mediterranean diseases. Interested?

India stammt aus einem Haushalt in Sevilla, in dem über 40 Hunde lebten. Die Frau dort war mit der Situation völlig überfordert. Es fehlte an allem – Platz, Futter und Pflege. Unsere Partnerorganisation rettete India aus diesem Elend. Nun ist sie in Sicherheit und wartet bei uns auf ihr neues Leben. India, die Aufgeweckte. India ist in der Zwischenzeit aufgetaut und aus ihrer anfänglichen Zurückhaltung, zeigt sich eine offene und verspielte junge Hundedame. Wenn ihr dann die volle Beachtung geschenkt wird, freut sie sich und geniesst die Streicheleinheiten. Wenn ihr aber etwas nicht passt oder sie das Gefühl hat, dass sie zu lange warten muss, dann kann sie das schon mal durch Bellen zeigen. Charakter und Wesen– Grundtemperament: lebhaft, verspielt, freundlich– Vertrauen zu Menschen: India kommt nicht direkt auf den Menschen zu. Wenn sie aber eine Person kennt, taut sie schnell auf.– Kontaktfreude, Annäherung: abwartend, freundlich– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Hunden: sozial– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Katzen: nicht getestet Verhalten und Alltagskompetenz– Unsicherheiten: Schnelle Bewegungen auf sie zu schüchtern sie noch etwas ein. – Anpassungsfähigkeit an neue Situationen: Am Anfang ist India immer ein wenig skeptisch, lässt sich dann aber schnell überzeugen.– Erkundungsverhalten: neugierig Bewegungs- und Aktivitätslevel – Bewegungsdrang: mittel– Leinenführigkeit: Gut, aber sicher noch ausbaufähig.– Lernbereitschaft: Mittel. Sie beobachtet gerne und muss erst noch mehr vertrauen können, denn sie ist richtig clever.– Jagdmotivation: vorhanden Wir wünschen uns für India Menschen, die ihr die nötige Zeit geben um anzukommen, und die ihr dann nach und nach die Welt zeigen. Über einen souveränen Zweithund würde sich India freuen, dass Leben als Einzelprinzessin fände sie aber sicher auch nicht schlecht. India ist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Interessiert? H I E R geht es zu unserer Adoptionsanfrage / Termine nur auf Voranmeldung

About India

What life with India looks like

India is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz in Waltenschwil.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting India, answered.

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