How do I contact the shelter about Venus?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Linth handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Venus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Venus if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Linth 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 Venus 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 Venus 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 Linth early rather than rehoming privately; they know Venus 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.

Venus

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Our sugary-sweet Venus is a very special lady dog. She comes from Romania and was then brought to Switzerland by an organization. In her new family, she wouldn't let anyone touch her and therefore couldn't stay there. She was then dropped off at us at the animal shelter Linth. Since she's been with us, she's changed very positively. She behaves like a normal dog towards us caregivers and has trust. We can do everything with her, even lifting her up, etc. She loves being scratched. The vet visit also went smoothly. We are looking for an equally special home for Venus: preferably quiet and ideally with a garden. Additionally, we prefer a confident second dog for Venus, as she is very oriented towards other dogs and we are convinced that she will greatly benefit from having a great buddy. Moreover, some dog experience and patience for the adjustment period should be present. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Unsere zuckersüsse Venus ist eine ganz spezielle Hundedame. Sie stammt aus Rumänien und wurde dann mit einer Organisation in die Schweiz gebracht. In ihrer neuen Familie liess sie sich nicht anfassen und konnte daher nicht dort bleiben. Sie wurde dann bei uns im Tierheim Linth abgegeben. Seit sie bei uns ist, hat sie sich sehr positiv verändert. Zu uns Pflegerinnen verhält sie sich wie ein normaler Hund und hat Vertrauen. Wir können alles mit ihr machen, auch hochheben usw. Sie liebt es gekrault zu werden. Auch der Tierarztbesuch verlief problemlos. Wir suchen für Venus ein ebenso besonderes Zuhause: Eher ruhig und im besten Fall mit Garten. Zudem bevorzugen wir für Venus einen souveränen Zweithund, denn sie orientiert sich stark an anderen Hunden und wir sind überzeugt, dass sie von einem tollen Kumpel stark profitieren wird. Ausserdem sollte etwas Hundeerfahrung vorhanden sein und Geduld für die Eingewöhnungszeit.

About Venus

What life with Venus looks like

Venus is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Linth in Switzerland.

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.
