How do I contact the shelter about Lila?

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

Can I adopt Lila if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — New Graceland - Auffangstation 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 Lila 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 Lila 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 New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lila 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.

Lila

Podenco · Female · Young · 1 year

Mixed breed female dog, Podenco, 25.12.2024, 40 cm, Lila was found alone on a dangerous highway in the north of Madrid. She was very lucky to be discovered in time and brought to safety. Our partner organization was able to take her in and finally send her on the big journey to us. Lila, the little Foxlady. Lila is an incredibly exciting, small Podenco-Spitz mix with a unique, fox-like aura. She is always busy exploring, discovering new surroundings, and processing all her impressions. With her alert and curious nature, Lila would love to discover the whole world at once. Character and temperament - Basic temperament: lively, nervous, interested - Trust in people: She is curious but still distant - Willingness to interact, approach: She makes contact expectantly - Social behavior towards dogs: social and more submissive - Social behavior towards cats: not tested Behavior and everyday skills - Uncertainties: When there are too many environmental stimuli or in a hectic environment - Ability to adapt to new situations: Lila needs time to settle in. She is full of discovery enthusiasm, but can also become overstimulated quickly - Exploratory behavior: She explores selectively and often follows her own focus outdoors - Activity level - Movement desire: high - Leash control: Currently she is still very environmentally oriented - Willingness to learn: Independent. Right now she is still making her own experiences with and through the environment - Hunting drive: present We are looking for people for Lila who enjoy an exciting, independent dog and who can help her step by step to adjust to her new life with calm, patience, and clear structure. We can easily imagine Lila attending a dog training class for joint mental stimulation as well as mental and physical exercise. Lila is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, and tested for Mediterranean diseases. Interested?

Lila, die kleine Foxlady. Lila ist eine unglaublich spannende, kleine Podenco-Spitz-Mischung mit einer ganz eigenen, fuchsähnlichen Ausstrahlung.

About Lila

What life with Lila looks like

Lila is a medium-sized young adult podenco dog waiting at New Graceland - Auffangstation Schweiz in Waltenschwil.

An young 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.
