Pepino

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 7 months

Pepino – a little miracle is looking for its family Pepino and his siblings are the little miracles of Mama Snow. Originally, Snow was supposed to be neutered in a few days – but just before that, she surprisingly gave birth to three puppies. Since Snow is very petite, our animal rescuer Daniela didn’t notice that she was pregnant. On November 15, 2025, three little puppy children entered the world. Pepino is developing beautifully, is typically playful, curious, and loves exploring its surroundings. Mama Snow is likely a mixed breed of Yorkshire Terrier and weighs around 5 kg. Unfortunately, we don’t know anything about the father, but we assume the puppies will stay small. Starting in March, Pepino will be ready to travel and could make the official animal transport in mid-to-end March to Switzerland.

Pepino – ein kleines Wunder sucht seine Familie Pepino und seine Geschwister sind die kleinen Wunder von Mama Snow. Eigentlich sollte Snow in wenigen Tagen kastriert werden – doch kurz davor brachte sie völlig überraschend drei Welpen zur Welt. Da Snow sehr zierlich ist, hatte unsere Tierschützerin Daniela nicht bemerkt, dass sie trächtig war. Am 15. November 2025 erblickten drei kleine Hundekinder das Licht der Welt. Pepino entwickelt sich prächtig, ist welpentypisch verspielt, neugierig und liebt es, seine Umgebung zu erkunden. Mama Snow ist vermutlich ein Yorkshire-Terrier-Mischling und wiegt etwa 5 kg. Über den Vater ist leider nichts bekannt, wir gehen jedoch davon aus, dass die Welpen klein bleiben werden. Ab Anfang März ist Pepino ausreisefertig und könnte mit dem offiziellen Tiertransport Mitte/Ende März in die Schweiz reisen.

About Pepino

What life with Pepino looks like

Pepino is a small 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 Pepino, answered.

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