Rocky

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Rocky was, like the siblings Popeye and Imre, found in the open during Christmas time, which unfortunately is not uncommon in Romania. Andrei took all three puppies in, and to our great surprise, the Rottweiler dog took the three puppies as her wards affectionately. The two siblings were soon ready to be adopted and were allowed to travel to Switzerland. There, they have now arrived in two wonderful families. Rocky was the scariest and most fearful of the trio. So we decided to wait a bit longer until he feels more comfortable in his skin. Alva and Rocky now live together in a living container with a run. However, it is not yet optimal for the two. For Rocky, we need experienced and patient people who are not bothered by his barking. We do not see Rocky in an apartment complex because he might annoy one or two neighbors with his barking.

Rocky wurde, wie die Geschwister Popeye und Imre, in der Weihnachtszeit im Freien ausgesetzt gefunden, was in Rumänien leider keine Seltenheit ist.Andrei nahm alle drei Welpen auf und zu unserer großen Überraschung nahm die Rottweilerhündin die drei Welpen als ihre Schützlinge liebevoll auf.Die beiden Geschwister waren bald ready um adoptiert zu werden und durften in die Schweiz reisen. Dort sind sie nun in zwei tollen Familien angekommen.Rocky war der scheuste und ängstlichste des Trios. So entschieden wir uns, noch zu warten, bis er sich in seiner Haut wohler fühlt.Alva und Rocky leben nun zusammen in einem Wohncontainer mit Auslauf. Es ist jedoch noch nicht das Optimum für die beiden.Für Rocky braucht es erfahrene und geduldige Menschen die sich auch vom bellen nicht verunsichern lassen.In einer Wohnsiedlung sehen wir Rocky nicht, da er mit eventuellem bellen den einen oder anderen Nachbar verärgern könnte.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rano & Huutch in Rano Huutch.

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 Rocky, answered.

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