Adopt Sansa

Female · Adult · 8 years

Sansa came to the animal shelter our shelter, because the family situation of her previous owners changed and they could no longer do her justice. Sansa is a laid-back lady. She chooses her trusted people herself and decides who she wants to have closer contact with. She especially enjoys lying in her cozy beds, and in her new home, she will surely discover the sofa, which she does not like to share. Outdoors, she is more laid-back. Dog encounters are more difficult for her, where she cannot avoid them. Eating is something very special for Sansa. She would like to eat all day. Unfortunately, the sweet one cannot eat everything, as she is an allergy sufferer.

Read original (de)

Sansa kam ins Tierheim Paradiesli, weil sich die familiäre Situation ihrer ehemaligen Besitzer verändert hat und sie ihr dadurch nicht mehr gerecht werden konnten. Sansa ist eine gemütliche Dame. Sie sucht sich ihre Bezugspersonen selbst aus und entscheidet, zu wem sie näheren Kontakt möchte. Besonders gerne liegt sie in ihren kuscheligen Bettchen und wird im neuen Zuhause bestimmt auch das Sofa für sich entdecken, welches sie jedoch nicht gerne teilt. Draussen ist sie eher gemütlich unterwegs. Schwieriger sind für sie Hundebegegnungen, bei denen sie nicht ausweichen kann. Fressen ist für Sansa etwas ganz Besonderes. Am liebsten würde sie den ganzen Tag essen. Leider darf die Süsse nicht alles fressen, da sie eine Allergikerin ist.

About Sansa

What life with Sansa looks like

Sansa is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Food allergies requiring restricted diet

🇨🇭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 Sansa, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sansa?
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 Sansa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sansa 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 Sansa 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 Sansa 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 Sansa 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.
