Txapas

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Images and possibly videos: April 2023 Txapas has unfortunately not yet found the Meschen who can give him a home. He is a dog who surely already has a lot in his past and therefore needs people who can show him the way clearly and consistently, and understand him well. Children should be at least in their teenage years and also have dog experience. A really great boy if you are the right person who has the time to build a trusting relationship. We are still crossing our fingers for you, dear Txabas. April 10, 2022, and now we can also report on Txapas that he can finally trust people. He gets along well with people now and also wants to make contact. When there are loud noises or unexpected movements, he still gets very scared and becomes nervous. It is clear that he did not have a nice life before. He had to always be on guard. Therefore, he also defends his food, always in the belief that someone might take it away. This is something that also needs to be worked on. Certainly, he is a dog who needs experienced people who can take him by the paw, give him security, and understand his body language correctly. Now, handlers are practicing with him, and during walks, it will also become clear how he handles meeting other dogs. We will report again. November 28, 2021, Txapas arrived very mistrustful here. Therefore, he is also still under observation to see how he develops. He would not be the first dog who learned to trust people again at Perrera. Certainly, he is a dog who needs people with experience who can read him accurately and help him with loving consistency. We will report on how he continues to develop. We are crossing our fingers for him.

Bilder und evtl. Videos: April 2023 Txapas hat leider noch nicht die Meschen gefunden, die ihm ein Zuahuse schenken können. Er ist ein Hund der sicherlich bereits einiges im Gepäck hat und daher braucht er Menschen, die ihm klar und konsequent mit viel Einfühungsvermögen den Weg aufzeigen und ihn richtig lesen können. Kinder sollten in jeden Fall im Teenager Alter und auch hundeerfahren sein. Ein wirklich toller Junge, wenn man der richtiige Mensch ist, der die Zeit hat ein richtiges Vertrauensverhältnis aufzubauen. Wir drücken dir weiter die Daumen, lieber Txabas. 10.04.2022 ja und nun können wir auch zu Txapas berichten,dass auch Txapas nun endlich Vertrauen fassen kann. Er kommt mit den Menschen nun gut zurecht möchte auch Kontakt. Bei lauten Geräuschen oder unerwarteten Bewegungen erschrickt er noch sehr und wird nervös. Es ist klar, dass er bisher kein schönes Leben hatte. Immer auf der Hut sein musste. Er verteidigt daher auch sein Essen, immer in der Befrüchtung es könnte ihm jemand wegnehmen. Ein Thema an dem man auch arbeiten muss. Sicherlich ist er ein Hund, der erfahrene Menschen braucht Menschen,die ihn weiter an der Pfote nehmen ihm Sicherheit geben und seine Körpersprache richtig deuten können. Es werden nun Gassigeher mit ihm üben und bei Spaziergängen wird man dann auch sehen wie er das Aufeinandertreffen mit andern Hunden meistert. Wir berichten wieder. 28.11.2021 Txapas kam sehr misstrauisch hier an. Daher ist er auch noch unter beobachtung wie er sich entwickelt. Er wäre nicht der erste Hund, der in der Perrera wieder gelernt hat Menschen zu vertrauen und sich auf sie einzulassen. Sicherlich ist er ein Hund, der Menschen mit Erfahrung braucht, die ihn genau lesen können und ihm mit liebevoller Konsequenz helfen können. Wir berichten wie er sich witer entwickelt. Drücken wir ihm alle Daumen.

About Txapas

What life with Txapas looks like

Txapas is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Arme Pfoten in Arme Pfoten.

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 Txapas, answered.

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