Ruedi

Male · Adult · 7 years

RUEDI likes all people and behaves very respectfully toward them. Children: children don't interest him much. Dogs: he is very fond of the fairer sex. He likes male dogs less. On walks, however, this is no problem with clear leadership. Cats: he finds them interesting and watches them. Basic obedience: present, but it still needs to be developed further. RUEDI tends to be one of the stubborn candidates, but he will do anything for food. Environment: he shows no problems with his surroundings and handles everything in his usual calm manner. Car travel: no problem. Being left alone: RUEDI needs time to settle into his new home. After slowly building up his time alone, he can now stay alone for some time without problems at his foster placement. Water: he likes to go into the water as long as he can stand. Swimming is not really his thing. Health: RUEDI is fed a BARF diet and receives medication due to his allergies. Currently, work is being done on his muscle building and his misloading (physio, underwater treadmill): he practically only puts weight on his front legs. RUEDI is a calm companion who most of all loves to be involved in everything. He settles down well and is familiar with everyday office life. He is no sports star, but he loves relaxed walks. Requirements for future owners: patience, sufficient time and understanding; prior experience with allergy sufferers is an advantage.

About Ruedi

What life with Ruedi looks like

Ruedi is an adult dog waiting at Verein schutzbedürftige Hunde in Hunde Hilfe.

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 Ruedi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ruedi?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Verein schutzbedürftige Hunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ruedi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ruedi if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Verein schutzbedürftige Hunde 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ruedi 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 Ruedi 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 Verein schutzbedürftige Hunde early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ruedi 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.
