Tessa

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Female, spayed, born approximately 17.09.2025, mixed breed, height approximately 30 cm / weight approximately 6 kg Spayed female, born approximately 17.09.2025, mixed breed, height approximately 30 cm / weight approximately 6 kg Pflegestelle Spain: Refugio Amposta On September 23, 2026, the small, super friendly and pretty mixed breed female dog Tessa arrived from the Perrera in Vinaros to Monika in her shelter. Very open, people-oriented and extremely cheerful, she showed herself right from the start. Tessa gets along great with the other dogs in the kennel. She is a fun, age-appropriately playful and curious young lady who likes to move around and always wants to be there. For our dear Tessa, we are looking for people who have time and patience for a dog from animal welfare. Tessa wants to take long walks and experience new adventures together. The sweet girl would also not mind a cozy spot on the couch. The young female dog still needs to learn the whole 1x1 of good behavior and also wants to be mentally challenged. If you would like to give this enchanting creature a forever home, please contact us by email.

Weiblich, reist kastriert Geboren ca. 17.09.2025 Mischling Höhe ca. 30 cm / Gewicht ca. 6 kgPflegestelle Spanien: Refugio AmpostaAm 23. September 2026 kam aus der Perrera in Vinaros die kleine, super freundliche und hübsche Mischlingshündin Tessa zu Monika in ihr Refugio. Sehr offen, menschenbezogen und äusserst fröhlich zeigte sie sich da gleich von Anfang an. Tessa kommt mit den anderen Hunden im Zwinger super klar. Sie ist eine lustige, dem Alter entsprechend verspielte und neugierige junge Dame, die sich gerne bewegt und immer dabei sein möchte.Für unsere herzallerliebste Tessa wünschen wir uns Menschen, die Zeit und Geduld mitbringen für einen Hund aus dem Tierschutz. Tessa möchte lange Spaziergänge unternehmen und gemeinsam neue Abenteuer erleben. Auch gegen ein kuscheliges Plätzchen auf dem Sofa hätte die süsse Maus sicher nichts auszusetzen. Die Junghündin sollte noch das ganze 1x1 des guten Benehmens lernen und möchte auch geistig gefordert werden. Möchtest du diesem bezaubernden Wesen ein für immer zu Hause schenken, dann melde dich gerne per E-mail bei uns.

About Tessa

What life with Tessa looks like

Tessa is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ANDANA Pfotenhilfe Schweiz in Switzerland.

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 Tessa, answered.

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