How do I contact the shelter about Perla?

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 Perla on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Perla 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 Perla 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 Perla 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 Perla 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.

Perla

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 10 months

Perla was surrendered to Melampo because her owner was no longer allowed to keep a dog in his rental apartment. Now the pretty young female dog is looking for a loving home. Perla is active, playful and very likeable. She has a great character and is very social and open towards people. She particularly enjoys being petted. She values the closeness to her humans very much and feels safe and relaxed at their side. Perla is also social and respectful with other dogs. When she is in a larger group in the exercise area, she gets along well with her fellow dogs. We are looking for a loving home for Perla that gives her the time she needs to get used to her new life. As with every dog, moving to a new environment is a change and Perla should be allowed to arrive and build trust with her new people at her own pace. A patient environment with people who enjoy starting their new daily routine step by step with her. Perla wants a home where she can be lovingly accepted and have close contact with her humans. People who enjoy a young, active and playful female dog and at the same time like to spend a lot of time with her.

Perla wurde in Melampo abgegeben, weil ihr Besitzer in seiner Mietwohnung keinen Hund mehr halten durfte. Nun sucht die hübsche junge Hündin ein liebevolles Zuhause. Perla ist aktiv, verspielt und sehr sympathisch. Sie hat einen tollen Charakter und zeigt sich Menschen gegenüber ausgesprochen sozial und aufgeschlossen. Besonders geniesst sie Streicheleinheiten. Sie schätzt die Nähe zu ihren Menschen sehr und fühlt sich an ihrer Seite sicher und entspannt. Auch mit anderen Hunden ist Perla sozial und respektvoll. Wenn sie in einer grösseren Gruppe im Auslauf ist, kommt sie gut mit ihren Artgenossen zurecht. Für Perla suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause, das ihr die nötige Zeit gibt, sich an ihr neues Leben zu gewöhnen. Wie für jeden Hund bedeutet der Umzug in eine neue Umgebung eine Veränderung und Perla sollte in ihrem eigenen Tempo ankommen und Vertrauen zu ihren neuen Menschen aufbauen dürfen. Ein geduldiges Umfeld mit Menschen, die Freude daran haben, gemeinsam mit ihr Schritt für Schritt in den neuen Alltag zu starten. Perla wünscht sich ein Zuhause, in dem sie liebevoll aufgenommen wird und engen Kontakt zu ihren Menschen haben darf. Menschen, die Freude an einer jungen, aktiven und verspielten Hündin haben und gleichzeitig gerne viel Zeit mit ihr verbringen.

About Perla

What life with Perla looks like

Perla is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Melampo in Melampo.

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.
