Smurfy

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Hi, I am Smurfy. I was found on the streets in Darabani, Romania near the Ukraine border a tiny puppy facing a big, uncertain world all alone. Thankfully, I was rescued and brought to safety at The Dog Rose Shelter, where I can now grow up protected, warm and loved. I am a sweet girl, small in size with adorable short legs and a gentle soul. I am very sweet, playful and friendly, with a confidence of 10/10—I love exploring and meeting new friends. I have a normal tail and all the joyful energy of a happy puppy. I will be ready to travel at the end of May… just in time to start my new life with you.

About Smurfy

What life with Smurfy looks like

Smurfy is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at The Dog Rose) in Dogrose.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇨🇭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 Smurfy, answered.

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