How do I contact the shelter about Kiara (im Tierheim Strubeli)?

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 Kiara (im Tierheim Strubeli) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kiara (im Tierheim Strubeli) 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 Kiara (im Tierheim Strubeli) 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 Kiara (im Tierheim Strubeli) 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 Kiara (im Tierheim Strubeli) 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.

Kiara (im Tierheim Strubeli)

Doberman · Female · Young · 2 years

Kiara has been living at the Strubeli animal shelter for almost a year and a half and is finally longing for her own home. She is an active, cheerful dog who loves spending time with her trusted humans and is always eager for new adventures. Due to her size and temperament, she needs stable, experienced dog owners who can provide her with clear rules and fair leadership. With other dogs, Kiara gets along only when consistently trained and managed, and she generally prefers to avoid direct contact altogether. Thanks to her great willingness to learn and her enthusiasm for food rewards, she has already made tremendous progress and can now pass other dogs at a safe distance. To ensure extra safety, she wears a muzzle. As an intelligent and eager-to-learn Doberman-Bernese Mountain Dog mix, Kiara loves learning new things together with her people. Anyone willing to continue working with her will gain a loyal, affectionate, and devoted companion. Kiara is looking for a calm home without children, cats, and ideally without frequent dog interactions. A home with plenty of space and people who have lots of time for her would be ideal.

DE·Show original

Kiara lebt bereits seit fast eineinhalb Jahren im Tierheim Strubeli und wünscht sich endlich ein eigenes Zuhause. Sie ist eine aktive, lebensfrohe Hündin, die gerne Zeit mit ihren Bezugspersonen verbringt und für jedes Abenteuer zu begeistern ist. Aufgrund ihrer Grösse und ihres Temperaments braucht sie standfeste, hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihr klare Regeln und eine faire Führung geben. Mit anderen Hunden ist Kiara nur mit konsequentem Training und Management verträglich und möchte direkten Kontakt grundsätzlich lieber meiden. Dank ihrer grossen Lernfreude und ihrer Begeisterung für Futterbelohnungen hat sie bereits enorme Fortschritte gemacht und kann heute in normalem Abstand an anderen Hunden vorbeigehen. Zur zusätzlichen Sicherheit trägt sie dabei einen Maulkorb. Als kluge und lernwillige Dobermann-Bernhardiner-Mischlingshündin liebt sie es, gemeinsam mit ihren Menschen Neues zu lernen. Wer bereit ist, weiterhin mit ihr zu arbeiten, gewinnt eine treue, anhängliche und loyale Begleiterin. Kiara sucht ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder, Katzen und möglichst ohne viele Hundekontakte. Ein Zuhause mit genügend Platz sowie Menschen, die viel Zeit für sie haben, wäre ideal.

What life with Kiara (im Tierheim Strubeli) looks like

Kiara (im Tierheim Strubeli) is a young adult doberman dog waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.
