Gengar

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Nach zwei Jahren in seinem neuen Zuhause ist Gengar (25,5 kg) leider wieder zurück bei uns im Tierheim. Seine Halterin ist erkrankt und kann sich deshalb nicht mehr um ihn kümmern. Nun sucht der freundliche Rüde erneut ein Zuhause, in dem er ankommen und bleiben darf. Gengar ist freundlich und sozial gegenüber Menschen und geniesst ihre Nähe sehr. Darf er bei seinen Bezugspersonen sein, zeigt er sich als ruhiger und entspannter Genosse. Gleichzeitig ist er sehr wachsam und meldet ungewohnte oder laute Geräusche gerne mit Bellen. Auf Spaziergängen bringt Gengar ordentlich Kraft mit, lässt sich aber ziemlich gut führen. Bei Begegnungen mit Jogger, Velos oder Hunden kann es vorkommen, dass er bellt. Dabei bleibt er jedoch gut händelbar. Bei anderen Hunden entscheidet die Sympathie. Wenn es passt, dann tendenziell eher mit Hündinnen. Ein gegenseitiges Kennenlernen ist deshalb besonders wichtig. Auch Besuche beim Tierarzt meistert Gengar mit Ruhe und lässt sich ohne Probleme anschauen. Für Gengar wünschen wir uns liebevolle Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit und eine klare Führung geben und seine menschenbezogene Art zu schätzen wissen. Nach seinem unerwarteten Weg zurück ins Tierheim soll er nun wieder ein Zuhause finden, in dem er sich rundum wohlfühlen darf.

About Gengar

What life with Gengar looks like

Gengar is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

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 Gengar, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gengar?
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 Gengar on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gengar 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 Gengar 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 Gengar 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 Gengar 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.
