Adopt Pace

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 8 months

Pace belonged to a litter of six puppies discovered under a bridge—defenseless and on their own. Since his rescue, he has lived in the shelter. There, he receives care and attention, but the world outside remains largely unknown to him. Despite his young age, Pace shows great courage in life: he is curious and loves to play. With his young age, he is just at the beginning of his life journey. That is why it is so important that he finds a loving home soon, where he can grow up in safety and slowly build trust. Whoever gives Pace this chance will gain a joyful, grateful, and deeply lovable family member.

Pace gehörte zu einem Wurf von sechs Welpen, die unter einer Brücke entdeckt wurden – schutzlos und auf sich allein gestellt. Seit seiner Rettung lebt er im Shelter. Dort bekommt er zwar Versorgung und Fürsorge, doch die Welt ausserhalb kennt er bisher kaum. Trotz seines jungen Alters zeigt Pace grossen Lebensmut: Er ist neugierig und liebt es zu spielen. Mit seinem jungen Alter steht er noch ganz am Anfang seines Lebenswegs. Umso wichtiger ist es, dass er bald ein liebevolles Zuhause findet, in dem er in Sicherheit aufwachsen und langsam Vertrauen fassen kann. Wer Pace diese Chance gibt, gewinnt ein fröhliches, dankbares und zutiefst liebenswertes Familienmitglied.

About Pace

What life with Pace looks like

Pace is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Glückshunde Schweiz in Glueckshunde.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇨🇭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 Pace, answered.

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