Nala

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Die treue Seele Nala sucht nach ganz viel Liebe und möchte endlich ein richtiges Zuhause finden. Seit Juni ist Nala in Zürich auf einer Pflegestelle und wird wie folgt beschrieben. Nala ist eine ausgesprochen liebevolle und anhängliche Hündin die gern ihr grosses Herz verschenkt. Sie liebt Spaziergänge und gemeinsame Abenteuer und die Freude ist gross, wenn ihre Leine aus dem Schrank hervorkommt und sie weiss es geht los. Sie läuft meist ordentlich an der Leine, reagiert nicht auf Stadtgeräusche, Jogger, Velofahrer etc. und sie zeigt keinen ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb. Man kann stundenlang mit ihr spazieren, lediglich für ambitionierten Sport ist sie nicht die Richtige. Auto und Tram fährt sie souverän mit.Zuhause ist Nala ruhig. Sie liebt es gestreichelt zu werden und in der Nähe ihrer Menschen zu sein, kann aber auch mal eine gewisse Zeit alleine bleiben. Sie ist sozial gegenüber dem Ersthund der Pflegestelle und hat bereits erste Erfahrungen mit Katzen gemacht.Lediglich fremdem Besuch in der Wohnung begegnet sie vorerst skeptisch. Nala ist aber sehr kooperativ und hält sich an Regeln, wenn man diese von ihr einfordert. Trotzdem wünschen wir uns für sie ein ruhiges, erfahrenes Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder. Andere Tiere sind voraussichtlich kein Problem. Wer gibt dieser hübschen Hündin die Möglichkeit endlich anzukommen und erlaubt es ihr das Leben endlich in vollen Zügen zu geniessen? Nala wird sich als sehr treue und tapfere Wegbegleiterin dankbar zeigen.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Glückshunde Schweiz in Glueckshunde.

An 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nala, answered.

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