Paca

Female · Adult · 4 years

more photos and possibly video: In August 2021, Paca was found in a terrible condition, with numerous injuries, emaciated, and with a hunger that is almost unimaginable. It is hard to believe how cruel people can be, how they can inflict such suffering on a living being. We hope she recovers quickly and can soon lead a real and happy life. For people who can give her everything she has been denied so far. Alongside adequate food, of course, love, and trust. We will report back.

mehr Fotos und ev. Video : August 2021 Paca wurde in einem schlimmen Zustand aufgegriffen, voller Verletzungen, abgemagert, mit einem Hunger den man sich kaum vorstellen kann. Es ist nicht zu fassen, wie grausam die Menschen sein können, wie man dies einem Lebewesen antun kann. Wir hoffen sie erholt sich schnell und kann bald ein Leben führen, ein echtes und glückliches Leben. Bei Menschen,die ihr all das schenken, was ihr bisher verwehrt geblieben ist. Neben ausreichend Nahrung, natürlich Liebe und Vertrauen. Wir berichten wieder.

About Paca

What life with Paca looks like

Paca is a adult dog waiting at Tierhilfe Arme Pfoten in Arme Pfoten.

An 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 Paca, answered.

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