Vajra

Mixed Breed · Female · 18 months

Vajra is a young, cheerful female dog who was born with three legs. Despite this, she is determined and has learned to adapt. She is a great companion for other dogs and enjoys playing and exploring. Vajra is eager to learn and is currently working on wearing a harness and understanding basic dog commands. She is looking for a forever home where she can be treated like a dog and live her life to the fullest.

Hallo, ich bin’s, die Vajra. Vajra bedeutet Diamant. Wertvoll und unzerbrechlich und vielleicht passt mein Name deshalb so gut zu mir. Denn auch mit meinen drei Beinen lasse ich mich nicht aufhalten. Ich bin eine fröhliche, junge Hündin und kann mit den anderen Hunden wunderbar mithalten. Als ich anfangs hier im Muhmenthal ankam, wusste ich nicht so recht, wo ich gelandet bin. Doch die Tierpfleger-/-innen wussten genau, wie sie mit mir umgehen müssen und haben mir geholfen, mich zurechtzufinden. Leinenlaufen lernen? Habe ich top gemeistert! Auch sonst kann ich herumflitzen, spielen und das Leben geniessen. Nur das Geschirrli anziehen ist noch nicht so ganz mein Ding. 🙈 Aber hey, ich bin lernfähig und arbeite daran! Schritt für Schritt wird auch das noch besser. Das Hunde-1x1 muss ich übrigens auch noch lernen. Da brauche ich Menschen, die mir geduldig zeigen, was von mir erwartet wird und mir die nötige Zeit geben. Klar, ich kuschle auch gerne mal als Schosshündchen. Aber ich möchte nicht bemitleidet oder in Watte gepackt werden. Ich möchte wie ein Hund behandelt werden. Ich möchte rennen, schnüffeln, spielen, entdecken und einfach dabei sein. Mein fehlendes Bein hält mich davon nicht ab. Was mir jetzt noch fehlt? Mein eigenes Zuhause. Hast du gerade ein Körbchen frei? Vielleicht bist genau du der Mensch, auf den ich schon so lange warte. Deine Vajra Daumen und Pfoten sind gedrückt, süsse Vajra❤️🐾🍀

About Vajra

What life with Vajra looks like

Vajra is an adult mixed breed 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 Vajra, answered.

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