Petunia

Mixed Breed · Unknown

I am Petunia. I have just arrived and am still getting to know everything. But one thing I can already tell you: I really like people. If you visit me, I will come right over to say hello. After all, a stranger could become my new favorite person. I am nice, sociable and enjoy company. However, my new family should know one thing: I will unfortunately not make friends with cats. That's why I would like a home without furry friends. Otherwise, I bring one thing above all: the joy of spending time with my humans. A personal inquiry from you would therefore be my dream. Kind regards, Petunia. Petunia thanks her sponsors Andrea Steiner and Balthasar Trümpy for their generous support. I have just arrived and am still getting to know everything.

Hola ​​​ Ich bin Petunia. Ich bin erst vor Kurzem angekommen und lerne gerade alles kennen. Eines kann ich aber jetzt schon verraten: Ich mag Menschen sehr. Wenn Sie mich besuchen, komme ich direkt vorbei, um Hallo zu sagen. Schließlich könnte aus einem Fremden ja mein neuer Lieblingsmensch werden. Ich bin nett, gesellig und freue mich über Gesellschaft. Eine Sache sollte meine neue Familie allerdings wissen: Mit Katzen werde ich leider keine Freundschaft schließen. Deshalb wünsche ich mir ein Zuhause ohne Samtpfoten. Ansonsten bringe ich vor allem eines mit: die Freude daran, Zeit mit meinen Menschen zu verbringen. Eine persönliche Anfrage von Ihnen wäre deshalb mein Traum. Freundliche Grüsse Ihre Petunia ​ Petunia bedankt sich ganz herzlich bei ihren Paten Andrea Steiner und Balthasar Trümpy für die grosszügige Unterstützung.

About Petunia

What life with Petunia looks like

Petunia is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stiftung vergessene Hunde in Vergessene Hunde.

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 Petunia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Petunia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stiftung vergessene Hunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Petunia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Petunia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stiftung vergessene Hunde 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Petunia 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 Petunia 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 Stiftung vergessene Hunde early rather than rehoming privately; they know Petunia 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.
