Manchas

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Manchas comes from Seville. He lived with a family that, after some time, no longer wanted to keep him—partly because the family’s situation had changed with the children. Manchas, the exuberant one! As soon as you enter the room, Manchas is ready: he greets you euphorically, with lots of barking and licking, because he just can’t wait to get all the attention he deserves. But don’t worry—this little guy is easy to calm down and can also show his gentle side. Character and Temperament—Basic temperament: affectionate, nervous, alert—Trust in people: He’s open but still a bit too enthusiastic—Sociability and approachability: Manchas actively seeks contact and can be rather pushy, jumping up on you as if there were no tomorrow. We’re working on that—Social behavior toward dogs: selective—Social behavior toward cats: not tested Behavior and Daily Competence—Insecurities: around male two-legged beings—Adaptability to new situations: Good. He needs a bit of time to find his inner calm, but he’s easy to help—Exploratory behavior: brave Level of Movement and Activity—Need for movement: High: Manchas wants to experience things, discover lots of new stuff, and always be part of the action. He’s a little powerhouse and up for pretty much any activity—Leash manners: This still needs practice, after all, he first has to get to know everything—Willingness to learn: Good. He’s eager to learn a lot—Hunting drive: present We’d like active people for Manchas who can challenge this young fellow both mentally and physically, take him to dog school, and also enjoy going trail running or other scent-based activities with him. Manchas is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, and tested for Mediterranean diseases. Has Manchas piqued your interest? H E R E you’ll find our adoption application. / Appointments by prior arrangement only

Manchas stammt aus Sevilla. Er lebte in einer Familie, die ihn aber nach einiger Zeit nicht mehr behalten wollte, unter anderem nachdem sich die familiäre Situation mit den Kindern verändert hatte. Manchas, der Überschwängliche. Wenn man den Raum betritt, ist Manchas parat: Er begrüsst einen euphorisch und mit viel Gehupfe und Geschlecke, denn er möchte so gerne die volle Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehen. Doch keine Sorge, der kleine Mann lässt sich gut runterfahren und kann auch seine sanfte Seite zeigen. Charakter und Wesen– Grundtemperament: anhänglich, nervös, wachsam– Vertrauen zu Menschen: Er ist offen und noch ein bisschen zu stürmisch– Kontaktfreude, Annäherung: Manchas sucht den Kontakt aktiv und ist eher aufdringlich, denn er springt an einem hoch als gäbe es kein Morgen. Wir arbeiten daran– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Hunden: selektiv– Sozialverhalten gegenüber Katzen: nicht getestet Verhalten und Alltagskompetenz– Unsicherheiten: bei männlichen Zweibeinern– Anpassungsfähigkeit an neue Situationen: Gut. Er braucht ein wenig Zeit, um seine innere Ruhe dabei zu finden, lässt sich aber gut helfen– Erkundungsverhalten: mutig Bewegungs- und Aktivitätslevel– Bewegungsdrang: Hoch: Manchas möchte etwas erleben, ganz viel entdecken und immer mit dabei sein. Er ist ein kleines Muskelpaket und für so ziemlich jede Aktivität zu haben– Leinenführigkeit: Das muss noch geübt werden, schliesslich muss er ja auch erst einmal alles kennenlernen– Lernbereitschaft: Gut. Er ist bereit, viel zu lernen– Jagdmotivation: vorhanden Wir wünschen uns für Manchas aktive Menschen, die den jungen Burschen sowohl mental wie auch physisch auslasten, mit ihm die Hundeschule besuchen und auch in Richtung Trailen oder sonstige Schnüffelaktivitäten mit ihm gehen möchten. Manchas ist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Hat Manchas euer Interesse geweckt? H I E R geht es zu unserer Adoptionsanfrage. / Termine nur auf Voranmeldung

About Manchas

What life with Manchas looks like

Manchas is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Manchas, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Manchas?
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 Manchas on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Manchas 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 Manchas 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 Manchas 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 Manchas 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.
