How do I contact the shelter about Noa?

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

Can I adopt Noa if I live in another country?

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

Adopt Noa

Podenco · Female · Adult · 7 years

Noa must unfortunately be rehomed! Magical Podenco-mix female dog seeks a sensitive home – preferably together with her best friend Toni. Our sensitive Podenco-mix lady is a true nature lover. She loves long, quiet walks through fields and forests, where she feels free and safe. In nature, she can walk without a leash with appropriate trust – in the city, however, it’s too much hustle and bustle for her, so she prefers to stay safe on a leash. She is very social, loves other dogs – and especially her faithful companion Toni, with whom she goes through thick and thin. The two are a well-oiled team, giving each other support and security. It would be a great joy if Toni could be rehomed together with her, because alone she feels insecure very quickly. With Toni, she can relax and stay alone. Our female dog is sensitive and in some situations anxious – for example, during heavy rain! Noa was found on a field near a village in the vicinity of San Roque. Feigning fear and high-handedness, Noa was discovered by helpers and immediately brought to safety in Melampo. Just a few days later, she gave birth to four puppies in Melampo. Noa is a wonderful and caring mother. Noa has a rather reserved and shy character. However, she shows great gratitude to the helpers. A sausage or a treat quickly wins her trust ;). Noa has a loving disposition that captivates everyone. Hopefully, she will enchant someone in Switzerland with her radiance. Noa needs a home with loving people who can give her enough time to build trust. In a quiet environment, with much patience and fine rewards, Noa will gradually develop into a faithful companion. Anyone who has enough time and love to help a reserved dog into a new life may contact us for Noa. We wish that she can once again be in the spotlight after these difficult times and start a happier future in Switzerland. Good luck, Noa!

Noa muss leider umplatziert werden! Zauberhafte Podenco-Mix-Hündin sucht einfühlsames Zuhause – am liebsten gemeinsam mit ihrem besten Freund Toni Unsere sensible Podenco-Mix-Dame ist eine echte Naturliebhaberin. Sie liebt lange, ruhige Spaziergänge über Felder und durch Wälder, wo sie sich frei und sicher fühlt. In der Natur kann sie mit entsprechendem Vertrauen auch ohne Leine laufen – in der Stadt hingegen ist ihr das zu viel Trubel, da bleibt sie lieber sicher an der Leine. Sie ist sehr sozial, liebt andere Hunde – und ganz besonders ihren treuen Gefährten Toni, mit dem sie durch dick und dünn geht. Die beiden sind ein eingespieltes Team, geben sich gegenseitig Halt und Sicherheit. Es wäre ein großes Glück, wenn Toni mitvermittelt werden könnte, denn alleine fühlt sie sich schnell unsicher. Ist Toni dabei, kann sie entspannt alleine bleiben. Unsere Hündin ist sensibel und in manchen Situationen ängstlich- zum Beispiel bei starkem Regen! Noa wurde auf einem Feld in der Nähe eines Dorfes in der Umgebung von San Roque gefunden. Feige ausgesetzt und hochträchtig hatte Noa das Glück von Helfern entdeckt zu werden. Sie wurde sofort in Melampo in Sicherheit gebracht. Schon einige Tage später bekam sie in Melampo ihre vier Welpen. Noa ist eine wunderbare und fürsorgliche Mutter. Noa hat einen eher zurückhaltenden und scheuen Charakter. Den Helfern gegenüber zeigt sie sich aber sehr dankbar. Mit einem Würstchen oder einem Leckerchen gewinnt man auch schnell ihr Vertrauen ;)Noa hat eine liebevolle Ausstahlung, die jeden in seinen Bann zieht. Hoffentlich schafft sie es mit ihrer Ausstrahlung auch jemanden in der Schweiz zu verzaubern. Noa benötigt ein Zuhause bei liebevollen Menschen, die ihr genug Zeit geben um Vertrauen zu fassen. In einer ruhigen Umgebung, mit viel Geduld und feinen Belohnungen wird sich Noa sicher nach und nach zu einer treuen Begeliterin entwickeln. Wer genug Zeit und Liebe hat, um einen zurückhaltenden Hund in ein neues Leben zu begleiten, darf sich sehr gerne für Noa melden. Wir wünschen uns, dass sie nach diesen schwierigen Zeiten einmal im Mittelpunkt stehen darf und sie in eine glücklichere Zukunft in der Schweiz starten darf. Viel Glück Noa!

About Noa

What life with Noa looks like

Noa is a large adult podenco dog waiting at Melampo in Melampo.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
