Jefry

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Jefry is only 13 years old on paper. As a kind of "lifeguard," he always has a firm grip on the riverbank and is attentive and active outside. As befits a Podenco. Sometimes Jefry barks to get someone's attention. He shows himself to be a social and pleasant companion, both with people and other dogs. His sensitive nature around people is especially heartwarming. Jefry loves petting, but never pushes himself. He stands in the second row and waits patiently until it's his turn. Jefry has tested positive for Leishmaniasis and is receiving the corresponding medication. This does not affect him in any way. Magda would be happy to provide more information. We wish Jefry a home that appreciates his calm, friendly nature and shows him that he can stand in the front row with his people. Dear Jefry, we all keep our fingers crossed and paws crossed that you will find your home soon 💛🐾🍀

DE·Show original

Jefry ist nur auf dem Papier 13 Jahre alt. Als eine Art „Bademeister“ hat er das Bachufer stets fest im Griff und ist draussen aufmerksam und aktiv unterwegs. So wie es sich für einen Podenco gehört. Manchmal meldet sich Jefry mit einem Bellen, wenn er auf etwas aufmerksam machen möchte. Dabei zeigt er sich insgesamt als sozialer und angenehmer Begleiter, sowohl mit Menschen als auch mit anderen Hunden. Besonders herzerwärmend ist seine sensible Art im Umgang mit Menschen. Jefry liebt Streicheleinheiten, drängt sich dabei aber nie auf. Er steht in der zweiten Reihe und wartet geduldig bis er an der Reihe ist. Jefry wurde positiv auf Leishmaniose getestet und erhält entsprechend Medikamente. Das beeinträchtigt ihn in keinster Weise. Magda gibt dazu gerne weitere Informationen. Für Jefry wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, das seine ruhige, freundliche Art zu schätzen weiss und ihm zeigt, dass er bei seinen Menschen in der ersten Reihe stehen darf. Lieber Jefry wir drücken dir alle Daumen und Pfoten, dass du bald dein Zuhause findest 💛🐾🍀

About Jefry

What life with Jefry looks like

Jefry is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiervermittlungen.ch in Elsau.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇨🇭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 Jefry, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jefry?
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 Jefry on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jefry 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 Jefry 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 Jefry 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 Jefry 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.
