How do I contact the shelter about Lea?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lea on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lea if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ANDANA Pfotenhilfe 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 Lea 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 Lea 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 ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lea 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.

Adopt Lea

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Female, travels neutered. Born around 12.08.2022Podenco MixHoehe around 50 cm / Weight around 15 kgPflegestelle Spain: Refugio AmpostaThe wonderful Lea had unfortunately not been lucky so far and her people have been waiting for her for a long time. On February 1, 2024, the still somewhat shy Lea from Andalusia came to Monika at her refuge. She gets along well with all the dogs. Lea is a gentle, rather quiet female dog who never tries to be the center of attention. She is reserved towards people but always friendly and gradually begins to enjoy cuddles the more she gets to know them. She needs time to lose her fears but is also curious and ready to bond with people. The lovable Lea needs a quiet home with people who are willing to put in the time, understanding, and love to show a rescued dog the joys of life. She is such a magical mouse. Has she also captured your heart, then feel free to contact us via email.

Weiblich, reist kastriert. Geboren ca. 12.08.2022Podenco MischlingHöhe ca. 50 cm / Gewicht ca. 15 kgPflegestelle Spanien: Refugio AmpostaDie wunderschöne Lea hatte bis jetzt leider noch kein Glück und ihre Menschen lassen schon lange auf sich warten. Bereits am 01. Februar 2024 kam die noch etwas schüchterne Lea aus Andalusien zu Monika in ihr Refugio. Mit allen Hunden versteht sie sich bestens. Lea ist eine sanfte, eher ruhige Hündin, die sich nie in den Vordergrund stellt. Dem Menschen gegenüber ist sie zurückhaltend, jedoch stets freundlich und fängt je länger je mehr an auch Streicheleinheiten zu geniessen. Sie braucht Zeit um ihre Ängste zu verlieren, ist aber auch neugierig und bereit sich dem Menschen anzuschliessen. Die liebenswerte Lea braucht ein eher ruhiges zu Hause, mit Menschen, die viel Geduld, Verständnis und Liebe für einen Hund aus dem Tierschutz aufbringen möchten und ihr die schönen Dinge des Lebens zeigen. Sie ist eine so zauberhafte Maus. Hat sie auch dein Herz erobert, dann melde dich gerne per E-Mail bei uns.

About Lea

What life with Lea looks like

Lea is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz in Switzerland.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
