Pumpkin

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Hi, I am Pumpkin. I am a young girl, around 1–1.5 years old, who was brought to safety from a village. I am now staying at Dog Rose, where I am waiting for a family to discover what a wonderful little companion I can be. I am already spayed, my vaccinations are currently in progress, and I will be ready to travel from mid-October. I am a tiny girl weighing only around 5 kg, but I have plenty of personality. I am friendly, gentle and submissive, while also being playful and wonderfully confident. My confidence is a perfect 10/10, and my energy level is nicely balanced. I also have a funny little talent: I can jump surprisingly high, almost like a cat. I am good with dogs, cats and children, and I could happily live in the city or the countryside. With my friendly nature, small size and easy-going personality, I could fit beautifully into many different kinds of families. I have a normal tail and a very big heart packed into just 5 kg. I am Pumpkin, and from mid-October I will be ready to make one lucky family’s life a little sweeter.

About Pumpkin

What life with Pumpkin looks like

Pumpkin is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Dog Rose) in Dogrose.

An young 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 Pumpkin, answered.

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