Pupuce

Male · Adult · 7 years

Pupuce is back at the shelter and is looking for his family again. This 7-year-old Jagd Terrier is unfortunately back with us for a reason totally independent of his will. ❤️ His new owner is now seriously ill, in a critical condition, and unfortunately is no longer able to take care of him. We therefore do not yet know exactly how Pupuce has evolved since his departure. He will need some time to get his bearings and allow us to reassess his behavior and needs at best. 🐾 Character Pupuce is a lively, dynamic dog who needs to be stimulated, both physically and mentally. He is a kind and affectionate dog who particularly enjoys moments of complicity and cuddles. When he was with us before, he had difficulty coping with loneliness and needed a regular presence. It would therefore be preferable for him to join a home where he will not be left alone for long hours. Due to his very marked hunting instinct, Pupuce must absolutely be walked on a leash or in perfectly secure places. He can leave on a trail and tend to run away. Particular vigilance will therefore be necessary during walks. 🐾 🏥 Health Pupuce has a significant heart murmur and can also be prone to urinary infections. He is currently on a veterinary diet specific to his urinary problems as well as a treatment for his heart. Regular veterinary monitoring will therefore be essential to ensure his health and well-being. 👶 Children: OK ❤️ 🐱 Cats: NO 🚫 Pupuce has a strong hunting instinct and tends to pursue cats. He therefore cannot be placed in a home with cats. 🐕 Dogs: Pupuce generally gets along better with females than with males. He can however be reactive towards the latter. A meeting with the dog(s) of the home will therefore be essential before any adoption. 🏡 The ideal home We are looking for a present, dynamic and committed family for Pupuce, capable of offering him a stable and secure framework. He will need people who will respect his character, his needs and his particularities, while offering him beautiful physical and mental activities on a daily basis. ❤️ After this new change of life, Pupuce now deserves to find a definitive family, ready to commit to him and offer him all the stability he needs. 🐾 📞 Interested in Pupuce?

🐾 Pupuce est de retour au refuge et recherche à nouveau sa famille Ce joli Jagd Terrier de 7 ans est malheureusement de retour chez nous pour une raison totalement indépendante de sa volonté. ❤️ Son nouveau propriétaire est aujourd’hui gravement malade, dans un état critique, et n’est malheureusement plus en mesure de s’occuper de lui. Nous ne savons donc pas encore précisément comment Pupuce a évolué depuis son départ. Il faudra lui laisser un peu de temps pour retrouver ses repères et nous permettre de réévaluer au mieux son comportement et ses besoins. 🐾 Caractère Pupuce est un chien vif, dynamique et qui a besoin d’être stimulé, aussi bien physiquement que mentalement. C’est un chien gentil et affectueux, qui apprécie particulièrement les moments de complicité et les câlins. Lorsqu’il était chez nous auparavant, il supportait difficilement la solitude et avait besoin d’une présence régulière. Il serait donc préférable qu’il rejoigne un foyer où il ne sera pas laissé seul durant de longues heures. De par son instinct de chasse très marqué, Pupuce devra impérativement être promené en laisse ou dans des endroits parfaitement sécurisés. Il peut partir sur une piste et avoir tendance à fuguer. Une vigilance particulière sera donc nécessaire lors des promenades. 🐾 🏥 Santé Pupuce présente un important souffle au cœur et peut également être sujet à des infections urinaires. Il bénéficie actuellement d’une alimentation vétérinaire spécifique pour ses problèmes urinaires ainsi que d’un traitement pour son cœur. Un suivi vétérinaire régulier sera donc indispensable afin de veiller à sa santé et à son bien-être. 👶 Enfants : OK ❤️ 🐱 Chats : NON 🚫 Pupuce possède un instinct de chasse important et a tendance à poursuivre les chats. Il ne pourra donc pas être placé dans un foyer avec des chats. 🐕 Chiens : Pupuce s’entend généralement mieux avec les femelles qu’avec les mâles. Il peut toutefois se montrer réactif envers ces derniers. Une rencontre avec le ou les chiens du foyer sera donc indispensable avant toute adoption. 🏡 Le foyer idéal Nous recherchons pour Pupuce une famille présente, dynamique et investie, capable de lui offrir un cadre stable et sécurisant. Il aura besoin de personnes qui sauront respecter son caractère, ses besoins et ses particularités, tout en lui offrant de belles activités physiques et mentales au quotidien. ❤️ Après ce nouveau changement de vie, Pupuce mérite désormais de trouver une famille définitive, prête à s’engager pour lui et à lui offrir toute la stabilité dont il a besoin. 🐾 📞 Intéressé(e) par Pupuce ?

About Pupuce

What life with Pupuce looks like

Pupuce is a adult dog waiting at SPA Valais in Uvrier.

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 Pupuce, answered.

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