Susi

Shih Tzu · Female

This Shih Tzu was seized from a breeding facility, where she spent her entire life in a cage. She is a very good, affectionate and sociable dog with other dogs. She can go into indefinite foster care and only needs a family that gives her the opportunity to discover what it's like to live for real. She needs treatment with eye drops. Because she has lived her entire life in cages, she still doesn't know how to walk on a leash or go to the bathroom on the street, but she can learn with patience, affection and trust. She needs a quiet home and a family with a lot of patience to teach her, for the first time, what it means to have a happy life.

Esta perrita Shih Tzu fue incautada de un criadero, donde pasó toda su vida viviendo en una jaula. Es una perrita muy buena, cariñosa y sociable con otros perros. Puede ir en acogida indefinida y solo necesita una familia que le dé la oportunidad de descubrir cómo es vivir de verdad. Necesita tratamiento con gotas en los ojos. Debido a que ha vivido toda su vida entre jaulas, todavía no sabe pasear con correa ni hacer sus necesidades en la calle, pero poco a poco podrá aprender con paciencia, cariño y confianza. Necesita un hogar tranquilo y una familia con mucha paciencia que le enseñe, por primera vez, lo que significa tener una vida feliz.

About Susi

What life with Susi looks like

Susi is a adult shih tzu dog waiting at Fundacion Animal Rescue.

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.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Susi, answered.

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