Adopt WILLY

Podenco · Male

*I am in Switzerland* I am the biggest smusher in the family. Enjoy, though cautiously but still affectionately, when I can snuggle up to someone familiar. Joyfully, I want to explore the world on my little paws. So, I hope to find loving people who can gently introduce me to the new. People where I can seek the closeness in peace and security. Where I can grow bigger with understanding, patience, and love. My story: I and my siblings were born in the residence of Hundehilfe Motril. We are Christmas children, so we are probably also as sweet as candy. Our dear mom Mia has naturally also contributed a great deal to that. In Mia’s ad, you can learn more about our story.

*Ich bin in der Schweiz* Ich bin der grösste Schmuser in der Familie. Geniesse, zwar vorsichtig aber dennoch innig, wenn ich mich an jemand vertrauten ankuscheln darf. Freudig möchte ich auf meinen kleinen Pfoten die Welt erkunden. So hoffe ich auch liebe Menschen zu finden, die mich vorsichtig an alles Neue heranführen. Menschen bei denen ich in Ruhe und Geborgenheit die Nähe suchen darf. Wo ich mit Verständnis Geduld und Liebe grösser werden darf. Meine Geschichte: Ich und meine Geschwister sind in der Residenz von Hundehilfe Motril geboren . Wir sind Weihnachtskinder darum sind wir wahrscheinlich auch so zuckersüss . Unsere liebe Mami Mia hat natürlich auch einen grossen Teil dazu beigetragen. In Mia’s Inserat könnt ihr noch mehr über unsere Geschichte erfahren .

About WILLY

What life with WILLY looks like

WILLY is a adult podenco dog waiting at Hundehilfe Motril in St. Gallen.

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 WILLY, answered.

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