Adopt Kevin

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Kevin – a small miracle is searching for a big heart Kevin and his siblings are the little miracles of Mama Snow. Originally, Snow was scheduled to be neutered in just a few days – but surprisingly, she gave birth to three puppies right before that. Since Snow is very petite, our animal rescuer Daniela hadn’t even noticed she was pregnant. So, on November 15, 2025, three little puppy children entered the world. Since then, they have been developing beautifully, playful, curious, and ready to explore the world. Mama Snow is likely a mixed breed of Yorkshire Terrier and weighs only about 5 kg. Unfortunately, we have no information about the father, but we assume the puppies will also remain small. Starting in March, Kevin and his siblings will be ready to travel and could embark on the official animal transport to Switzerland in mid-to-late March.

Kevin – ein kleines Wunder sucht ein grosses Herz Kevin und seine Geschwister sind die kleinen Wunder von Mama Snow. Eigentlich sollte Snow in wenigen Tagen kastriert werden – doch kurz zuvor brachte sie völlig überraschend drei Welpen zur Welt. Da Snow sehr zierlich ist, hatte unsere Tierschützerin Daniela nicht einmal bemerkt, dass sie trächtig war. So erblickten am 15. November 2025 drei kleine Hundekinder das Licht der Welt. Seitdem entwickeln sie sich prächtig, sind welpentypisch verspielt, neugierig und bereit, die Welt zu entdecken. Mama Snow ist vermutlich ein Yorkshire-Terrier-Mischling und wiegt nur etwa 5 kg. Über den Vater ist leider nichts bekannt, wir gehen jedoch davon aus, dass die Welpen ebenfalls klein bleiben werden. Ab Anfang März sind Kevin und seine Geschwister ausreisefertig und könnten mit dem offiziellen Tiertransport Mitte/Ende März in die Schweiz reisen.

About Kevin

What life with Kevin looks like

Kevin is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Glückshunde Schweiz in Glueckshunde.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇨🇭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 Kevin, answered.

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