Lion

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Hi, I am Lion. I was found on the streets, trying to survive on my own. Thankfully, I was brought to safety at The Dog Rose Shelter in Romania, where I found not only care and kindness, but also my best friend, Chubby. We have become inseparable and enjoy spending our days together. I am a sweet boy and I am small in size. I have a gentle and friendly nature and I get along very well with cats, dogs and children. I enjoy companionship and love being around my friends. I have a slightly shorter tail, which makes me a little bit unique, but what truly matters is the love I have to give. I am sweet, easy-going and ready to become a loyal companion to a family of my own. Now I am just waiting for someone special to open their heart and give me the forever home that I have always dreamed of.

About Lion

What life with Lion looks like

Lion is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Dog Rose) in Dogrose.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lion, answered.

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