How do I contact the shelter about Elena (im Probewohnen)?

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 Elena (im Probewohnen) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Elena (im Probewohnen) 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 Elena (im Probewohnen) 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 Elena (im Probewohnen) 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 Elena (im Probewohnen) 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.

Elena (im Probewohnen)

Cockapoo · Female · Young · 2 years

This charming, Cockapoo female dog Elena is a true social butterfly. She is loving, cuddly, and very people-oriented. She prefers to spend her time close to her people and enjoys every bit of attention she gets. Typical of her age, she is lively, energetic, and always ready for an adventure. Walks are among her absolute favorite activities, and she explores her surroundings with great joy and curiosity. Thanks to her good sense of smell and her motivation to work with people, she also brings a lot of potential for nose work, such as mantrailing. She gets along well with other dogs and meets them confidently and openly. Since she likes to make contact, it can happen that she barks out of frustration if she is not allowed to go to another dog. Her basic obedience is already present, but should be consistently practiced and reinforced. With loving and clear leadership, she will surely make great progress here. The friendly female dog handles vet visits without a problem and shows herself to be cooperative and uncomplicated. For this lively young female dog, we wish for an active home that can provide her with enough movement, mental stimulation, and especially lots of closeness to her people.

DE·Show original

Diese bezaubernde 2-jährige Cockapoo-Hündin Elena (14 Kg) ist eine echte Frohnatur. Sie ist lieb, verschmust und sehr menschenbezogen. Am liebsten verbringt sie ihre Zeit in der Nähe ihrer Bezugspersonen und geniesst jede Aufmerksamkeit, die sie bekommen kann. Typisch für ihr Alter ist sie quirlig, energiegeladen und stets für ein Abenteuer zu haben. Spaziergänge gehören zu ihren absoluten Lieblingsbeschäftigungen, und sie erkundet ihre Umgebung mit grosser Freude und Neugier. Dank ihrer guten Nase und ihrer Motivation zur Zusammenarbeit mit dem Menschen bringt sie zudem viel Potenzial für Nasenarbeit, beispielsweise Mantrailing, mit. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich gut und begegnet ihnen souverän und offen. Da sie gerne Kontakt aufnimmt, kann es vorkommen, dass sie aus Frust bellt, wenn sie nicht zu einem anderen Hund hingehen darf. Der Grundgehorsam ist bereits vorhanden, sollte jedoch weiterhin konsequent geübt und gefestigt werden. Mit einer liebevollen und klaren Führung wird sie hier sicherlich noch grosse Fortschritte machen. Tierarztbesuche meistert die freundliche Hündin problemlos und zeigt sich dabei kooperativ und unkompliziert. Für diese lebensfrohe junge Hündin wünschen wir uns ein aktives Zuhause, das ihr genügend Bewegung, geistige Auslastung und vor allem viel Nähe zu ihren Menschen bieten kann.

About Elena (im Probewohnen)

What life with Elena (im Probewohnen) looks like

Elena (im Probewohnen) is a large young adult cockapoo dog waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
