How do I contact the shelter about Lana & Ziggy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Berner Tierzentrum handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lana & Ziggy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lana & Ziggy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Berner Tierzentrum 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 Lana & Ziggy 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 Lana & Ziggy 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 Berner Tierzentrum early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lana & Ziggy 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.

Lana & Ziggy

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Rasse: Mischlinge Farbe: Braun-Schwarz & Beige Alter: 15.01.2017 Geschlecht: weiblich Kastriert: ja Verzichtgrund: veränderte Lebensumstände Eigenschaften: Lana (Braun-Schwarz): Ich liebe Menschen, Kuscheln, Leckerlis und einfach die Nähe meiner Lieben. Ich bin keine besonders energiegeladene Hündin und genieße es, die Dinge gemütlich anzugehen. Ich gehe gerne spazieren und schnüffele ein bisschen herum, aber wegen meiner Hüften kann ich keine sehr langen Spaziergänge machen, ohne dass mir die Hüften wehtun. Ich bin manchmal etwas nervös, wenn Besuch kommt, und belle um meine Unsicherheit zu zeigen. Aber ich habe noch nie jemanden gebissen und bin überhaupt kein bissiger Hund. Sobald ich mich sicher fühle, werdet ihr mein wahres Wesen kennenlernen: lieb, anhänglich, sanft und sehr glücklich in der Gesellschaft von Menschen. Ich brauche etwas Zeit, um zu entscheiden, ob ich dir vertrauen kann – aber sobald ich mit dir warm geworden bin, wirst du entdecken, was für eine wunderbar sanfte und liebevolle Seele ich habe. Ich bin definitiv die Zurückhaltentere. Ich muss nicht im Mittelpunkt stehen und bin vollkommen zufrieden, einfach nur ruhig in deiner Nähe zu sein. Ich liebe mein Bett, ich liebe es zu schlafen, und am liebsten bin ich einfach nur im selben Raum wie meine Menschen. Ich brauche nicht viel Aktivität oder Aufregung, um glücklich zu sein. Ziggy (Beige): Ich liebe Spaziergänge und schnüffele gerne herum, aber kurze, gemütliche Spaziergänge sind genau das Richtige für mich. Danach freue ich mich riesig, nach Hause zu kommen, mich in mein Bett zu kuscheln und ein Nickerchen zu machen. Und natürlich LIEBE ich Leckerlis. Ich bin zwar ruhig und würdevoll, aber wenn es Leckerlis gibt, bin ich immer hellwach! Sobald ich dich kenne, bin ich ein unglaublich sanfter Hund. Ich stelle nicht viel – nur Geduld, während ich dich kennenlerne, ein ruhiges Zuhause, ein bequemes Bett, ein paar leckere Leckerlis und die Gesellschaft meiner Lieblingsmenschen. Lana und Ziggy sind unzertrennlich und dürfen nicht getrennt werden!!! Herkunftsland (wo sich der Hund momentan aufhält): Schweiz Zuchtland: Deutschland Kontaktadresse: Fam. Fox, Forstbergstrasse 38, 8820 Wädenswil E-Mail: Diesen Beitrag teilen

About Lana & Ziggy

What life with Lana & Ziggy looks like

Lana & Ziggy is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Berner Tierzentrum in Switzerland.

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.

🇨🇭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.
