Casanova

German Shorthaired Pointer · Male · Senior · 14 years

The pretty Casanova came to the animal shelter together with Spiderella. He is very calm and always gets excited when feeding time comes around every few weeks because he loves to eat. Okay, it’s understandable if it’s only every few weeks. Otherwise, he spends a lot of time in his caves and handles the regular check-ups well. Casanova wishes for a spot with python enthusiasts.

DE·Show original

Der hübsche Casanova ist zusammen mit Spiderella ins Tierheim gekommen. Er ist sehr ruhig und freut sich immer, wenn alle paar Wochen Fütterungszeit ist. Denn er frisst sehr gerne. Ok, irgendwie verständlich, wenn es nur alle paar Wochen was gibt. Ansonsten verbringt er viel Zeit in seinen Höhlen und bei den regelmässigen Kontrollen macht er gut mit. Casanova wünscht sich ein Plätzchen bei königspythonbegeisterten Besitzern.

About Casanova

What life with Casanova looks like

Casanova is a medium-sized senior german shorthaired pointer dog waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Requires specialized reptile care and feeding schedule every few weeks

🇨🇭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 Casanova, answered.

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