Morzsi

Dachshund · Unknown · Senior · 11 years

Morzsi—a clever senior Dachshund—is looking for HER people! At almost 12 years old, Morzsi is a truly mature Dachshund lady. She knows exactly what she wants out of life—and that includes lovely walks, plenty of sniffing and digging, a soft little bed, and of course, lots of cuddles! She’s a fit, cheerful, and affectionate little senior lady! Morzsi knows what it’s like to live in a home and is already house-trained. There’s nothing she longs for more than being with HER people. That’s why she doesn’t want to share her future home with other dogs or cats. Several weeks ago, Morzsi had tumors removed from her mammary chain. These tumors were clearly demarcated, and the vet’s findings showed no signs of metastasis. Her blood work is also excellent. A second surgery, during which the remaining tumors on the other side of her mammary chain will be removed, is scheduled for late August. Since Morzsi handled the first surgery without any issues, we’re very optimistic that everything will go smoothly this time too. By mid-September, Morzsi would then be ready to travel and fully prepared for a wonderful home with Dachshund lovers who have big hearts for a very lively, cuddly, and confident senior lady. We’re looking for a foster home for Morzsi—one without other dogs or cats—or even better yet, her forever home right away!

Morzsi – pfiffige Dackel-Seniorin sucht IHRE Menschen Morzsi ist mit ihren fast 12 Jahren eine richtig gestandene Dackel-Lady. Sie weiss was sie möchte im Leben und dazu gehören nette Spaziergänge, ausgiebiges Schnüffeln und Buddeln, ein weiches Bettchen und natürlich viele Streicheleinheiten! Eine fitte, fröhliche und verschmuste kleine Seniorin! Morzsi kennt das Leben in einem Zuhause und ist stubenrein. Sie wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher, als bei IHREN Menschen zu sein. Deshalb möchte sie ihr zukünftiges Zuhause auch nicht mit anderen Hunden oder Katzen teilen. Bei Morzsi wurden vor einigen Wochen Tumore an der Milchleiste entfernt. Diese waren klar abgegrenzt und der tierärztliche Befund gab keine Hinweise auf Metastasen. Auch das Blutbild ist gut. Eine zweite Operation, bei der noch die restlichen Tumore an der anderen Milchleiste entfernt werden, erfolgt Ende August. Da Morzsi die erste OP problemlos weggesteckt hat sind wir sehr optimistisch, dass wieder alles gut gehen wird. Dann wäre Morzsi ca. Mitte September reisefertig und so richtig bereit für ein tolles Zuhause bei Dackel-Liebhabern mit einem grossen Herz für eine sehr muntere, verschmuste und selbstbewusste Seniorin. Wir suchen für Morzsi eine Pflegestelle ohne andere Hunde und Katzen oder natürlich noch besser gleich IHR Fürimmer-Zuhause!

About Morzsi

What life with Morzsi looks like

Morzsi is a small senior dachshund dog waiting at Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs in Yourheart4dogs.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Morzsi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Morzsi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Morzsi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Morzsi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs 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 Morzsi 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 Morzsi 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 Your Heart 4 Rescued Dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Morzsi 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.
