Paulo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Paulo is 1 year and 8 months old, approximately 45 cm tall, and weighs around 12 kg. Paulo was born in the kill shelter, which is why we know his exact date of birth. Paulo is a cheerful, outgoing male dog. He passed the cat test with flying colors and shows a relaxed and friendly demeanor toward other male dogs in the same room. He still has to learn the basics of dog ABCs. With loving and confident guidance, Paulo will become a loyal companion. Health: At the end of June, after being rescued from the kill shelter in Fetesti, Paulo was presented to a veterinarian in Romania. She received the necessary basic veterinary care as well as her vaccinations, tick treatment, and deworming. According to the attending veterinarian, she is currently in stable health. Perhaps the perfect home is waiting just for you—exactly the place Paulo has been hoping for so long.

Paulo ist 1 Jahr und 8 Monate jung, ca. 45 cm gross und wiegt rund 12 kg.Paulo wurde in der Tötung geboren, deshalb wissen wir sein Geburtsdatum. Paulo ist ein fröhlicher, aufgeschlossener Rüde. Den Katzentext hat er mit Bravour bestanden und zeigt sich mit anderen Rüden im Raum entspannt und freundlich. Das Hunde ABC muss er noch lernen. Mit einer liebevollen und sicheren Führung wird Paulo ein treuer Begleiter. GesundheitPaulo wurde Ende Juni nach der Rettung aus der Tötung Fetesti einem Tierarzt in Rumänien vorgestellt. Sie erhielt die notwendige tierärztliche Grundversorgung sowie ihre Impfungen, Zecken- und Wurmbehandlung.Nach aktuellem Stand ist sie gemäss dem behandelnden Tierarzt gesundheitlich stabil. Vielleicht wartet genau bei dir der Platz, auf den Paulo schon so lange hoffen.

About Paulo

What life with Paulo looks like

Paulo is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Glückshunde Schweiz in Glueckshunde.

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Paulo, answered.

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