Adopt Runo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Runo came to us as a road accident dog in October 2025. He is very shy, hides away as soon as someone comes, but is making small progress. We asked around at the location where he was found, some people know him, but no one can or wants to give him a real home there. Runo is social with other dogs or a calm dog. He submits and avoids conflicts. Runo and many other stray dogs are looking for people with a lot of patience, a quiet household and a social Gspännli. Living very rural in a house with many places to retreat outside. Runo is about 6-8 years old, neutered, tested negative for leukemia-FIV, dewormed and microchipped.

Runo kam als Unfallbüsi im Oktober 2025 zu uns. Er ist sehr scheu, versteckt sich, sobald man kommt, aber macht kleine Fortschritte. Wir haben am Fundort rumgefragt, einige Leute kennen ihn, aber ein richtiges Zuhause kann oder will ihm dort niemand geben. Runo ist sozial mit anderen Büsis oder einem braven Hund. Er ordnet sich unter und geht Konflikten aus dem Weg. Runo und viele andere verwilderte Büsis suchen Menschen mit viel Geduld, einem ruhigen Haushalt und einem sozialen Gspännli. Jdealerweis sehr ländlich wohnhaft in einem Haus mit vielen Rückzugsmöglichkeiten draussen. Runo ist ca. 6- 8-jährig kastriert, Leukose-Fiv negativ getestet, entwurmt und gechippt. Wer Runo ein Zuhause geben möchte, ohne grosse Erwartungen an ihn zu haben, darf sich gern via Fragebogen melden

About Runo

What life with Runo looks like

Runo is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stiftung Tierschutzzentrum Thurgau in Switzerland.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇨🇭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 Runo, answered.

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