Nio

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Nio kam aus einem Tierschutzfall zu uns. Der junge Mischling ist geschätzt im August 2024 zur Welt gekommen. Er wiegt aktuell gegen 14 Kilo und hat die ungefähre Grösse eines Corgies. Welche Rassen bei dem hübschen Rüden mitgemischt haben ist unbekannt. Wir vermuten aber, dass Dackel, Corgie und Sheltie an der tollen Mischung beteiligt waren. Dafür liefert auch Nios Charakter gewisse Indizien. Was ihn gruselt, wird erst mal kritisch angeschaut und teilweise auch laut verbellt. Doch dann überwiegt immer die Neugier, rausfinden zu wollen, mit was er es da eigentlich zu tun hat. Hat er etwas einordnen können, wir zum Beispiel ein Güllewagen am Wegesrand, ist dieser auf dem Rückweg kein Thema mehr. Ein neues Zuhause für einen Hund zu bieten, ist eine wunderbare Entscheidung. Damit der Start gelingt, lohnt es sich, wichtige Fragen vorab zu klären: Passt ein Hund zu Ihrem Alltag? Können Sie die Verantwortung langfristig tragen? Hier finden Sie Antworten und Tipps für eine gute Vorbereitung.

About Nio

What life with Nio looks like

Nio is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Pfötli und Tierrettung 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 Nio, answered.

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