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.

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 shih tzu dog waiting at Fundacion Animal Rescue.

A 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 often include sterilization, vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport in the adoption fee, but this varies, so confirm with the shelter. 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 "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Fundacion Animal Rescue whether they will for Susi, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Susi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Fundacion Animal Rescue lists Susi as spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Fundacion Animal Rescue, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Susi isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Fundacion Animal Rescue about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
