Scarlett

German Shorthaired Pointer · Female · Senior · 19 years

The older snake lady Scarlett shows herself to us at the animal shelter rather calmly and withdrawn. Most of the day, she spends in her various caves. When someone is in the room, she occasionally comes out of her hiding spot curiously to see what they are doing and if there is any food. Scarlett wishes for a terrarium in a quiet room where she can spend the rest of her life.

DE·Show original

Die ältere Schlangendame Scarlett zeigt sich bei uns im Tierheim eher ruhig und zurückgezogen. Die meiste Zeit am Tag verbringt sie in ihren verschiedenen Höhlen. Wenn man im Zimmer ist, kommt sie ab und zu neugierig aus ihrem Versteck heraus und schaut, was man so treibt und ob es Futter gibt. Scarlett wünscht sich ein Terrarium in einem ruhigen Zimmer, in dem sie ihre restlichen Lebensabende verbringen darf.

About Scarlett

What life with Scarlett looks like

Scarlett 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 Scarlett far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

Note from the shelter: Senior reptile requiring quiet environment and terrarium setup

🇨🇭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 Scarlett, answered.

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