Dog Rescue Auktsjaur

ABOUT US

I have been working with dogs full-time since 2013.

I started with dog care. This allowed me to gain a lot of experience with the nature of dogs. In addition to caring for dogs, I set up my own dog school. I have been running this for more than 10 years now.

Since 2021, I have also been training dog trainers and animal shelter staff throughout Switzerland.

Every vacation was accompanied by volunteer work in animal shelters and rescue centers. In various countries such as Colombia and Greece, I was able to do a small part to help the dogs.

My dream was always to take in dogs in need.

In the winter of 2023, I decided to buy a large piece of land in Sweden to make my dream come true. 100% of the proceeds from the training courses go to the rescued dogs here in Sweden.

My dogs:

Emmi, born in 2011, has been with me since I started working for myself. When I worked in animal Shelter in Greece for three months in 2012, I rescued her from the street and adopted her. She showed me my way and is part of the team.
Through her I learned what honesty, loyalty and faithfulness mean and I have been able to pass this on to many people.

At the turn of the year 2021, a Maremmano dog came to me in Zermatt, which had already run away from Piedmont in July 2020. How exactly she found her way to Zermatt is not known, but she found her way to me and straight into my heart. Since then,
Furi, born 2019, has also been part of the team.

In October 2022, I adopted an Old German Shepherd who narrowly escaped euthanasia.
Two broken Hips led to aggressive behavior towards people and dogs. Gandalf, born 2020, has greatly expanded my knowledge of behavioral problems in dogs. After a year of very intensive work with him and after two new Hips, I was able to pass him on to a fellow trainer in Bern.

Addis, * March 9, 2015, † March 22, 24, was not only the tallest in the Group, also the one with the biggest Heart. She has come a long way. From Ethiopia she came to Zurich in Switzerland via Myanmar, Stockholm and Paris. She has therefore seen more continents than many people ever have. She left us far too early. She crossed the rainbow bridge at just nine years old. We miss her very much.

Towards the end of 2023 I took in an "emergency furry friend". Socke, born 2021, a mixed breed dog from Romania, is now also enriching the team. My first little dog weighing just 6kg. She shows me every day that size doesn't matter and can communicate confidently with all dogs.

Another little whirlwind joined the team since the beginning of March 2024. Henja, born in 2022, also comes from Romania, is very bright, learns very quickly and is up for any fun. She brings a lot of energy and still has a lot to learn.

Iwar came to us completely unexpectedly. He was born in Mallorca in 2022, where he was only kept on the balcony. When he was about a year old, he was rescued there by animal rights activists and placed in Switzerland. His new owner in Switzerland mistreated and neglected him. He was confiscated by the police and has now found his new home with us. He is a rough diamond with a lot of work to do, but we will help him to grow into a well-balanced dog.

Jara & Kari, also born in Romania in 2022, are now part of our family. When I started setting up the Dog Rescue in Sweden, I saw the siblings. The former owners were overwhelmed because the dogs were very insecure, not house-trained and could not left alone. For that they wanted to give them to an animal shelter. Nobody wanted to adopt them either, because Kari suffers from an umbilical hernia that will have to be operated soon. Now they with me and enjoying a new start in life.

Lori joined in a special Way. I gave four dogs into care, and I went home with five :) The small Chihuahua dog, weighing just 5 kg, was looking for her forever home. Since she integrated so well into my group, I decided to adopt her also. She was born in August 2023 and fits perfectly into the pack.
