Moshu

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Hi, I am Moshu. I am an old gentleman, probably somewhere between 12 and 14 years old. After spending my life with a family, I was left at a police office when they got another dog. The Animal Police asked Dog Rose to take me in so that I could have the peaceful and dignified retirement every old dog deserves. Now I am safe, but we still hope there might be someone out there with a special place in their heart and home for me. I am a small to medium-sized senior boy. I am vaccinated and not neutered. My health is fragile. I have kidney insufficiency and dementia, most probably following a stroke, and my eyesight is gradually getting worse. I need a calm, understanding home with people who can give an elderly dog the care, patience and security he needs. I am not looking for great adventures. At my age, the little things matter most: a comfortable bed, gentle hands, good care, familiar voices and the feeling that someone is there for me. I am Moshu. I cannot change what happened to me, but perhaps the final chapter of my life can still be one of the most beautiful ones. We hope there is someone who will look at an old boy like me and think: you can spend your retirement with me.

About Moshu

What life with Moshu looks like

Moshu is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at The Dog Rose) in Dogrose.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇨🇭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 Moshu, answered.

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