Sur

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 7 months

A dog from Los Barrios Sur arrived at the animal shelter in August 2026 when he was about four months old. He is a lovable mixed-breed who was found on the street and brought to the shelter. When fully grown, he will be medium to large in size. Sur is a lovable, sweet young male who loves people more than anything and enjoys being cuddled and pampered. He always likes spending time with people, and he is such a pleasant puppy to have around. Every day, Sur gets a precious break from the 23½ hours he spends in his tiny cage, when he is allowed out into the courtyard together with many of his four-legged friends. He clearly enjoys these moments, when he can stretch his legs, spend time with the other dogs, and simply experience a little freedom. Yet it is incredibly sad to see such a beautiful young male spend almost his entire day locked up in a small cage. Sur is still a puppy. He should grow up in a home, discover the world, play, learn, and receive all the love and attention that a young dog deserves. Sur urgently needs a foster home where he can experience everyday life outside the shelter. Even better would be a responsible family who would take him in forever and give him the love, care, security, and commitment he deserves. At such a young age, Sur has already experienced what it means to be abandoned. We hope that his next home will truly be his home forever, a place where he will be loved and cared for for the rest of his life. Sur was lucky enough to take part in a large event on the grounds where we hope to build our future animal shelter. He was accompanied by his friends Kino, Cubarsi, and Olmo, and during the day he had his own volunteer helper who looked after him. Despite the busy surroundings with many people, dogs, music, and activities, Sur was very friendly and open. He greeted everyone with a wagging tail and happily ran around whenever the people around him moved. He got along wonderfully with the children who visited the enclosure. He also tried to play with two puppies, although they were a little shy. After all the excitement, Sur was also able to calm down and lie down to rest. He handled the car ride very well too: he stayed calm and sat quietly for the entire journey without crying. Unfortunately, no one fell in love with Sur that day, so he had to return to the shelter after the event. He is now waiting there for the person who will give him the forever home he deserves.

Hund von Los Barrios Sur kam im August 2026 ins Tierheim, als er ungefähr vier Monate alt war. Er ist ein liebenswerter Mischling, der auf der Strasse gefunden und ins Tierheim gebracht wurde. Ausgewachsen wird er mittelgross bis gross sein. Sur ist ein liebenswerter, süsser junger Rüde, der Menschen über alles liebt und es geniesst, geknuddelt und verwöhnt zu werden. Er verbringt immer gerne Zeit mit Menschen und ist ein so angenehmer Welpe, den man gerne um sich hat. Jeden Tag bekommt Sur eine kostbare Auszeit von den 23½ Stunden, die er in seinem winzigen Käfig verbringt, wenn er zusammen mit vielen seiner vierbeinigen Freunde auf den Innenhof darf. Er geniesst diese Momente sichtlich, in denen er seine Beine strecken, Zeit mit den anderen Hunden verbringen und einfach ein wenig Freiheit erleben kann. Doch es ist unglaublich traurig, einen so schönen jungen Rüden zu sehen, der fast seinen gesamten Tag in einem kleinen Käfig eingesperrt verbringt. Sur ist noch ein Welpe. Er sollte in einem Zuhause aufwachsen, die Welt entdecken, spielen, lernen und all die Liebe und Aufmerksamkeit erhalten, die ein junger Hund verdient. Sur braucht dringend eine Pflegestelle, in der er den Alltag ausserhalb des Tierheims erleben kann. Noch schöner wäre es, wenn er eine verantwortungsbewusste Familie für immer finden würde, die ihm die Liebe, Fürsorge, Sicherheit und Verbindlichkeit schenkt, die er verdient. Sur hat bereits in so jungem Alter erfahren, was es bedeutet, ausgesetzt zu werden. Wir hoffen, dass sein nächstes Zuhause wirklich sein Zuhause für immer sein wird – ein Ort, an dem er für den Rest seines Lebens geliebt und umsorgt wird. Sur hatte das Glück, an einer grossen Veranstaltung auf dem Gelände teilzunehmen, auf dem wir unser zukünftiges Tierheim bauen möchten. Er wurde von seinen Freunden Kino, Cubarsi und Olmo begleitet und hatte während des Tages eine eigene ehrenamtliche Helferin, die sich um ihn kümmerte. Trotz der geschäftigen Umgebung mit vielen Menschen, Hunden, Musik und Aktivitäten zeigte sich Sur sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Er begrüsste alle mit wedelndem Schwanz und rannte fröhlich herum, wann immer sich die Menschen in seiner Umgebung bewegten. Mit den Kindern, die das Gehege besuchten, verstand er sich hervorragend. Ausserdem versuchte er, mit zwei Welpen zu spielen, obwohl diese ein wenig schüchtern waren. Nach all der Aufregung konnte Sur auch zur Ruhe kommen und sich entspannt hinlegen, um sich auszuruhen. Auch die Autofahrt meisterte er sehr gut: Er blieb ruhig und sass während der gesamten Fahrt still da, ohne zu weinen. Leider verliebte sich an diesem Tag niemand in Sur, sodass er nach der Veranstaltung ins Tierheim zurückkehren musste. Nun wartet er dort auf den Menschen, der ihm das Zuhause für immer schenken wird, das er verdient.

About Sur

What life with Sur looks like

Sur is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Melampo in Melampo.

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 Sur, answered.

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