How do I contact the shelter about Lucero?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. home4dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lucero on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lucero if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — home4dogs 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 Lucero 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 Lucero 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 home4dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lucero 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.

Lucero

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Ca. 1 Jahr (geb. ca. 20.08.2025) 48 cm, 13 kg männlich, kastriert, Podenco Leishmaniosetest negativ am 10.07.2026, wird vor der Ausreise nochmals getestet Noch in unserem Partnertierheim in Spanien Lucero – ein sanfter Podenco mit grossem Herzen 🧡 Lucero ist ein ruhiger und sozialer Rüde, der anfangs etwas schüchtern ist. Er braucht einen Moment, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat er einen Menschen aber erst einmal kennengelernt, taut er schnell auf und zeigt sich völlig unkompliziert und lieb. Mit Leo verbindet Lucero eine ganz besondere Freundschaft. Die beiden kamen bereits gemeinsam in die Perrera, dem staatlichen Tierheim, und wurden dort zusammen in einem Zwinger untergebracht. Auch in unserem Partnertierheim teilen sie sich ihren Zwinger und verstehen sich wunderbar. Es ist schön zu sehen, wie vertraut die beiden miteinander sind. 🥰 Lucero ist ein Podenco und bringt deshalb einen gewissen Jagdinstinkt mit. Auch wenn er bisher nicht den Eindruck eines besonders passionierten Jägers macht, sollte er nicht frei von der Leine laufen, denn seinem Instinkt kann er jederzeit folgen. Ein Zuhause mit einem gut gesicherten Garten wäre für ihn deshalb ideal. Luceros Geschichte ist leider traurig: Sein Besitzer ist verstorben, und so wurden Lucero und zwei weitere Hunde in die Perrera gebracht. Dort mussten die drei zunächst gemeinsam in einem Zwinger leben. Zum Glück hat sich für Lucero inzwischen vieles zum Guten gewendet. Für Lucero suchen wir ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihm die Zeit geben, Vertrauen aufzubauen. Katzen sollten nicht mit ihm zusammenleben, da ein Podenco kleinere Tiere aufgrund ihrer Grösse durchaus als Beute wahrnehmen kann. Hier möchten wir lieber kein Risiko eingehen. Wo sind also die Menschen, die das besondere Wesen eines Podencos zu schätzen wissen? ❤️ Lucero wartet darauf, endlich wieder ein Zuhause zu finden, in dem er ankommen und sein Leben in Ruhe geniessen darf. 🐾 Videos Aug. 26:

About Lucero

What life with Lucero looks like

Lucero is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at home4dogs in Home4dogs.

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.
