Kitkat

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Dog from Los Barrios Kitkat came to the animal shelter in August 2026, when he was about two and a half months old. He is a beautiful mixed-breed dog who was presumably found abandoned on the street and brought to the shelter. As an adult, Kitkat will likely be medium-sized. Fortunately, this little boy was able to move into one of our foster homes, where he is thriving. Away from the stress of the shelter, Kitkat can do what every puppy should: grow, learn, play, and enjoy life, surrounded by care and affection. However, his foster home is only a temporary solution. Kitkat is now looking for his own loving, responsible forever home, where he can continue to grow up and feel safe, loved, and welcome. This little boy already had a difficult start in life. We hope that his next chapter will be the one that lasts forever.

Hund aus Los Barrios Kitkat kam im August 2026 ins Tierheim, als er ungefähr zweieinhalb Monate alt war. Er ist ein wunderschöner Mischling, der vermutlich ausgesetzt auf der Strasse gefunden und ins Tierheim gebracht wurde. Ausgewachsen wird Kitkat wahrscheinlich mittelgross sein. Glücklicherweise durfte dieser kleine Junge in eine unserer Pflegestellen ziehen, wo er sich prächtig entwickelt. Fernab vom Stress des Tierheims kann Kitkat das tun, was jeder Welpe tun sollte: wachsen, lernen, spielen und das Leben geniessen, umgeben von Fürsorge und Zuneigung. Doch seine Pflegestelle ist nur eine vorübergehende Lösung. Kitkat sucht nun sein eigenes, liebevolles und verantwortungsbewusstes Zuhause für immer, in dem er weiterhin aufwachsen und sich sicher, geliebt und willkommen fühlen kann. Dieser kleine Junge hatte bereits einen schwierigen Start ins Leben. Wir hoffen, dass sein nächstes Kapitel dasjenige sein wird, das für immer andauert.

About Kitkat

What life with Kitkat looks like

Kitkat is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Melampo in Melampo.

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 Kitkat, answered.

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