Tina

Dogo Argentino · Female · Adult · 5 years

Tina. "Hola, die Waldfee!" - you probably think when you see me for the first time. But give me ten seconds, and I'll wrap you around my finger with my lovable, playful charm. Promised. 🩷 I'm not only beautiful on the outside, but above all, my extremely people-oriented, sweet nature will enchant you. If I could, I would love to sit on your lap all day. But of course, I won't - I'm obedient, smart, and want to please you. Outside, I love everything: reading the newspaper, discovering, learning, and romping around. I can entertain myself super well, but I'm always ready to work with you and learn new things. When the sun is shining, you'll definitely discover me enjoying a leisurely bath - I'm a real water rat! Of course, with my stately stature, you should be firm and give me clear guidance. But don't worry, I really don't try to take advantage of that. I'm just a sporty muscle package. I behave very well and enjoy it when you give me direction. I'm playful, cheerful, and also love to enjoy the interaction in the pack under supervision. I especially like the big, sweet boys (Ach Archie ♥️) - I'd like to take a little break from you two-legged ones and give a few little kisses. But I also play especially well with smaller furry friends and our teenagers. Then it shows how adaptable and gentle I can be. Since I'm a Dogo Argentino female dog, we're looking for experienced, confident, and responsible people who know how to lovingly and clearly deal with an adventurous, strong character like mine. I look forward to getting to know you and send you a heartfelt soon-to-be-wuff. Your Tina 💕

T wie treu, I wie immer gut drauf, N wie neugierig und A wie absolut einmalig. Das bin ich: Tina. „Hola, die Waldfee!“ – denkst du vermutlich, wenn du mich das erste Mal siehst. Aber gib mir zehn Sekunden, und ich wickele dich mit meinem liebenswürdigen, verspielten Charme um den Finger. Versprochen. 🩷 Ich bin nicht nur wunderschön von aussen, sondern vor allem mein extrem menschenbezogenes, liebes Wesen wird dich verzaubern. Wenn ich könnte, würde ich am liebsten den ganzen Tag auf deinem Schoss sitzen. Aber das mache ich natürlich nicht – ich bin nämlich folgsam, klug und möchte dir gefallen. Draussen liebe ich einfach alles: Zeitung lesen, entdecken, Lernen und Herumtollen. Ich kann mich super selbst beschäftigen, bin aber jederzeit bereit, mit dir zusammen zu arbeiten und Neues zu lernen. Wenn die Sonne scheint, wirst du mich garantiert beim genüsslichen Baden entdecken – ich bin eine echte Wasserratte! Klar, bei meiner stattlichen Statur solltest du schon standhaft sein und mir eine klare Führung bieten. Aber keine Sorge, ich versuche wirklich nicht, das auszunutzen. Ich bin halt einfach ein sportliches Muskelpaket. Ich benehme mich sehr anständig und freue mich, wenn du mir Orientierung gibst. Ich bin verspielt, fröhlich und liebe es auch mal unter Aufsicht das Miteinander im Rudel zu geniessen. Besonders gut gefallen mir die grossen, süssen Jungs (Ach Archie ♥️) – da lege ich gern mal eine kleine Pause bei euch Zweibeinern ein und verteile ein paar Schmatzer. Aber auch mit kleineren Fellnasen und unseren Teenies spiele ich besonders gern. Dann zeigt sich auch, wie angepasst und behutsam ich sein kann. Da ich eine Dogo Argentino-Hündin bin, suchen wir für mich erfahrene, souveräne und verantwortungsvolle Menschen, die wissen, wie man mit einem abenteuerlustigen, starken Charakter wie mir liebevoll und klar umgeht. Ich freue mich dich kennenzulernen und schick dir ein herzliches Bis-bald-Wuff. Deine Tina 💕

About Tina

What life with Tina looks like

Tina is an adult dogo argentino dog waiting at Tiervermittlungen.ch in Elsau.

An 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 Tina, answered.

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