Spicey

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

This little female dog has already been through a lot yet still retains her loving nature. She lived on the streets and gave birth to four puppies there. Unfortunately, three of her tiny babies didn't survive. Together with her one surviving puppy, she was finally able to move in with our animal rescuer, Daniela. The brave mother dog is about 2–3 years old and lovingly cares for her little daughter. Despite her difficult past, she remains friendly, gentle, and grateful for every bit of attention and care she receives. Now we wish for her a forever home where she can finally feel truly at home—a place filled with safety, love, and security. She has given so much and deserves to be cared for and loved in return. Who will give this special dog the chance at a new life and show her that she no longer has to fight alone?

DE·Show original

Diese kleine Hündin hat bereits viel erlebt und trotzdem ihr liebevolles Wesen bewahrt. Sie lebte auf der Strasse und brachte dort vier Welpen zur Welt. Leider haben drei ihrer kleinen Babys nicht überlebt. Gemeinsam mit ihrem einzigen überlebenden Welpen durfte sie schliesslich zu unserer Tierschützerin Daniela ziehen. Die tapfere Hundemama ist etwa 2–3 Jahre alt und kümmert sich liebevoll um ihre kleine Tochter. Trotz ihrer schwierigen Vergangenheit zeigt sie sich freundlich, sanft und dankbar für jede Aufmerksamkeit und Fürsorge. Nun wünschen wir uns für sie ein eigenes Zuhause, in dem sie endlich ankommen darf – einen Ort voller Sicherheit, Liebe und Geborgenheit. Sie hat so viel gegeben und verdient es, selbst umsorgt und geliebt zu werden. Wer schenkt dieser besonderen Hündin die Chance auf ein neues Leben und zeigt ihr, dass sie nicht mehr alleine kämpfen muss?

About Spicey

What life with Spicey looks like

Spicey is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Glückshunde Schweiz in Glueckshunde.

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 Spicey, answered.

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