Pirata

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Hi, I am Pirata. My story is one of heartbreak, but also of incredible strength. When I was about to give birth, my owner threw me out onto the streets. I desperately tried to get back to my babies, but instead of being welcomed, I was beaten so badly that one of my eyes was injured beyond saving. The damage was so severe that it had to be removed. Despite everything I suffered, I never stopped thinking about my puppies. All I wanted was to protect them. Today, I am finally safe at The Dog Rose, where I have been given the chance to heal and start over. I am around 4–5 years old and weigh approximately 18–20 kg. I have a normal tail and only one eye, but I do not let that stop me from enjoying life or loving those around me. I am an incredibly kind and gentle soul. I am a devoted mother and always make sure my puppies eat before I do. Even after everything I have been through, I have never lost my gentle heart or my trust in people. I am ready to travel at the end of June, and more than anything, I dream of finding a family who will finally show me the kindness and love I have always deserved. I have already given everything for my puppies. Now it is my turn to be someone's beloved girl.

About Pirata

What life with Pirata looks like

Pirata is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Dog Rose) in Dogrose.

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 Pirata, answered.

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