Popeye

German Shorthaired Pointer · Male · Senior · 13 years

The pretty Popeye was surrendered to us due to health issues of the owner. He is quiet and often lies in his caves, or when he is out of the enclosure, he seeks his heat box. During regular checks, Popeye does well and is always quiet and friendly. He wishes for a spot with python enthusiasts.

Der hübsche Popeye wurde wegen gesundheitlichen Problemen des Besitzer bei uns abgegeben. Er ist ruhig und liegt oft in seinen Höhlen oder wenn er in der Haut ist, sucht er seine Wetbox auf. Bei den regelmässigen Kontrollen macht Popeye gut mit und ist stets ruhig und freundlich. Er wünscht sich ein Plätzchen bei königspythonbegeisterten Besitzern.

About Popeye

What life with Popeye looks like

Popeye is a medium-sized senior german shorthaired pointer animal waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Popeye far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇨🇭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 Popeye, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Popeye?
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 Popeye on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Popeye 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 Popeye already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals 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 Popeye 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 Popeye 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.
