Lex

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Unfortunately, there are always unreliable providers who want to make money through fraud. That's why it's important to carefully check the pet listing and the seller. Here are some pointers that should make you suspicious: Further useful information for a safe pet purchase: The mother of Lex and her 8 siblings became pregnant unintentionally. Lida, our cooperative animal shelter, was asked to take in the puppies. In return, the mother, a Shepherd mix, was neutered. All nine were lively and developed into cute puppies. Two siblings were already rehomed. Since the Italian veterinarian has identified Pitbull genes in Lex, he can only be exported to Austria, Switzerland (partially), or the Netherlands. We would also be happy to have a foster home. Here comes Lex: The handsome male dog with the shiny black fur lives with three of his siblings. Lex is alert, playful, social, and people-oriented. He enjoys every attention, approaches people without fear, lets himself be petted and lifted. He would love to run through meadows, join his people on adventures, and lie down in a dog bed at night – but this dream is still far away.

Leider gibt es immer wieder unseriöse Anbieter, die mit Betrug Geld verdienen möchten. Deshalb ist es wichtig, das Tierinserat sowie den Verkäufer genau zu prüfen. Hier einige Hinweise, die dich misstrauisch machen sollten: Weitere nützliche Informationen zum sicheren Tierkauf Die Mama von Lex und seinen 8 Geschwistern wurde ungewollt trächtig. Man bat die Lida, unser Kooperationstierheim, die Welpen aufzunehmen. Im Gegenzug wurde die Mama, ein Schäferhundmix, kastriert. Alle Neun waren putzmunter, und sie entwickelten sich zu hübschen Junghunden. 2 Geschwister konnten schon vermittelt werden. Da der italienische Veterinär hat Pitbullgene in Lex erkennt, darf er nur nach Österreich, Schweiz (teilweise) oder Niederlande ausreisen. Gerne würden wir uns auch über eine Pflegestelle freuen. Hier kommt Lex: Der hübsche Rüde mit dem glänzenden schwarzen Fell lebt mit drei ihrer Geschwister zusammen. Lex ist aufgeweckt, verspielt, sozial und menschenbezogen. Er freut sich über jede Aufmerksamkeit, geht ohne Ängste auf Menschen zu, lässt sich streicheln und hochheben. Wie gerne würde er über Wiesen laufen, mit seinenn Menschen Unternehmungen machen und abends in einem Körbchen liegen – aber dieser Traum liegt noch in weiter Ferne.

About Lex

What life with Lex looks like

Lex is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Petsearch.ch in Zurich.

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 Lex, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lex?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Petsearch.ch handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lex on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lex if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Petsearch.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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Lex 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 Lex 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 Petsearch.ch early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lex 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.
