Adopt Txika

German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 5 years

24.05.2025 Welcome to Switzerland, dear Txika. Honestly, it's a mystery to me how such a wonderful female dog hasn't found a new home in Spain after a year. We don't usually take dogs from a private foster home to our animal shelter, but I'm sure she won't have to wait long for her person here. Txika is, in fact, a dream mixed breed of Schäfer. She is very friendly and clingy with people and she also meets fellow animals with a friendly attitude. Since she is a Schäfer mixed breed, she has a wonderful, straight back. Her former, Spanish foster mom told me that she is a wonderful and very clever female dog who loves to learn. If you're looking for a golden Schäfer girl, Txika is just right. We look forward to your message. 12.05.2025 Txika is a friendly and very affectionate dog girl who loves to spend time with people. She currently lives in a Spanish foster family with other dogs and enjoys the daily walks. Where are the German Shepherd lovers? Txika is the perfect companion. Txika is microchipped, fully vaccinated, and neutered.

24.05.2025 Herzlich willkommen in der Schweiz, liebe Txika. Es ist mir ehrlich ein Rätsel, wie so eine wunderbare Hündin nach einem Jahr noch kein neues Zuhause in Spanien gefunden hat. Eigentlich holen wir die Hunde nicht gerne von einer privaten Pflegestelle in ein Tierheim, aber ich bin sicher, dass sie hier nicht lange auf ihren Menschen warten muss. Txika ist nämlich ein Traum von Schäfer Mischling. Sie ist sehr freundlich und anhänglich zu Menschen und sie begegnet auch Artgenossen stets freundlich. Weil sie ein Schäfer Mischling ist, hat sie einen wunderbaren, geraden Rücken. Ihre ehemalige, spanische Pflege-Mami sagte mir, dass sie eine wunderbare und sehr schlaue Hündin ist, die sehr gerne lernt. Wer ein goldiges Schäfer-Mädchen sucht, ist bei Txika genau richtig. Wir freuen uns auf deine Nachricht. 12.05.2025 Txika ist ein freundliches und sehr anhängliches Hunde-Mädchen, welches gerne Zeit mit Menschen verbringt. Sie lebt aktuell in einer Spanischen Pflege-Familie mit anderen Hunden zusammen und geniesst die täglichen Spaziergänge. Wo sind die Schäferhund-Liebhaber? Txika ist die perfekte Begleiterin. Txika ist gechipt, komplett geimpft und kastriert.

About Txika

What life with Txika looks like

Txika is a adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierhilfe Arme Pfoten in Arme Pfoten.

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 Txika, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Txika?
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 Txika on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Txika 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 Txika 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 Txika 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 Txika 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.
