Adopt JERRY

Podenco · Male

I am the little treasure of the family. Because I was the weakest after birth, I had to be fed until I gained strength. Yet I always fought to get to the milk or food. I always found a hole to crawl through somewhere. Today I am an independent little sweet guy. When we have visitors, I make sure I am not overlooked and I even call out loudly : ) When I was freshly born, I fell out of the whelping box at night and barely survived. As an unfortunate consequence of that, I lost almost all my toes on my front paws. My date will be medically checked. Despite that, I hope for loving people who discover me and see what a sweet fighter I am and accept me as I am. My story: My sister and I were born in the residence of Hundehilfe Motril. We are Christmas babies so we are probably also so sweet. Our dear mom Mia has certainly contributed a lot as well. In Mia's listing you can find out more about our story.

Ich bin das kleine Schätzchen der Familie. Weil ich nach der Geburt der Schwächste war, musste man mich füttern, dass ich zu Kräften kam. Doch habe ich stets gekämpft um an die Milch oder ans Futter zu kommen. Irgendwo hab ich immer ein Loch gefunden um durchzukriechen. Heute bin ich aber ein selbständiger kleiner süsser Mann. Wenn wir Besuch bekommen, sorge ich dafür, dass ich nicht übersehen werde und rufe schon mal lautstark : ) Als ich frisch geboren wurde, bin ich nachts aus der Wurfkiste gefallen und habe nur knapp überlebt. Als unglückliche Folge davon habe ich an den Vorderpfoten fast alle meiner Zehen verloren. Datum werde ich noch gesundheitlich abgeklärt. Trotzdem hoffe ich auf liebe Menschen die mich entdecken und sehen, was für ein süsser Kämpfer ich bin und mich auch so akzeptieren wie ich bin. Meine Geschichte: Ich und meine Geschwister sind in der Residenz von Hundehilfe Motril geboren . Wir sind Weihnachtskinder darum sind wir wahrscheinlich auch so zuckersüss . Unsere liebe Mami Mia hat natürlich auch einen grossen Teil dazu beigetragen. In Mia’s Inserat könnt ihr noch mehr über unsere Geschichte erfahren .

About JERRY

What life with JERRY looks like

JERRY is a small adult podenco dog waiting at Hundehilfe Motril in St. Gallen.

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 JERRY, answered.

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