Adopt Linda

Podenco · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Linda is a friendly and affectionate female puppy. She is delighted by visitors and enjoys every pat. She gets along well with her fellow animals. How much Linda has already experienced from normal life will become clear in the coming weeks. Linda had already had a home where she lived since she was a puppy. The owners simply wanted to get rid of her after 2.5 years. They also gave their puppy child Penny to us at our intake shelter. Unwanted and cruelly dismissed—no farewell, no good luck, no backward glance … what goes on in such a puppy’s heart …… But from now on, we look forward and not back. Linda and Penny have settled in well in our small intake shelter. They are joyful and lively, and we show them that they are welcome here. We hope that Linda and Penny will soon find their forever family. [Show a slideshow]. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Linda ist ein freundliches und liebevolles Hundemädchen. Sie freut sich über Besuch und sie genießt jede Streicheleinheit. Mit ihren Artgenossen versteht sich Linda auch gut. Wieviel Linda bereits vom normalen Leben kennt, wird sich in der nächsten Zeit zeigen. Linda hatte bereits ein Zuhause wo sie seit Welpe lebte. Die Besitzer wollten sie nach 2.5 Jahren einfach los werden. Auch ihr Hundekind Penny haben sie bei uns in der Auffangstation abgegeben. Unerwünscht und herzlos abgeschoben – keine Verabschiedung … kein machs gut … kein Blick zurück … was geht wohl in einem solchen Hundeseelchen vor …… Wir schauen aber von nun an vorwärts und nicht mehr Zurück. Linda und Penny haben sich in unserer kleinen Auffangstation gut eingefunden . Sie sind freudig und aufgeweckt und wir zeigen Ihnen, dass sie hier willkommen sind . Wir hoffen dass Linda und Penny bald schon ihre für immer Familie finden dürfen. 1 2 ►

About Linda

What life with Linda looks like

Linda is a puppy/kitten podenco dog waiting at Hundehilfe Motril in St. Gallen.

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 Linda, answered.

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