Puffy

Mixed Breed · Female

Puffy is a lovely female dog who, due to her breed, had to wait rather long for her people at our shelter. Now, the good girl has found a wonderful home. We are very happy for the dear female dog, because no one can choose the body they are born into. Puffy has shown us that even deaf dogs can be kindly and faithful like gold. Take care, dear Puffy, and enjoy your life, for you have truly earned it.

Puffy ist eine liebenswerte Hündin die aufgrund ihrer Rasse doch recht lange bei uns auf ihre Menschen warten musste. Nun hat die Gute ein wunderbares Daheim gefunden. Wir gönnen es der lieben Hündin sehr, denn niemand kann etwas dafür in welchem Körper er geboren wird. Uns hat Puffy gezeigt, dass auch Listenhunde gutmütig und treu wie gold sein können. Machs gut liebe Puffy und geniesse das Leben, Du hat es wahrhaft verdient.

About Puffy

What life with Puffy looks like

Puffy is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stiftung Paradiesli, Tierheim für Ob und Nidwalden.

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 Puffy, answered.

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