About Unser Hund
What life with Unser Hund looks like
Unser Hund is a adult dog waiting at Stiftung Tierrettungsdienst – Tierheim Pfötli 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.
🇨🇭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 Unser Hund, answered.
- How do I contact the shelter about Unser Hund?
- Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stiftung Tierrettungsdienst – Tierheim Pfötli handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Unser Hund on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
- Can I adopt Unser Hund if I live in another country?
- Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stiftung Tierrettungsdienst – Tierheim Pfötli 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 Unser Hund 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 Unser Hund 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 Stiftung Tierrettungsdienst – Tierheim Pfötli early rather than rehoming privately; they know Unser Hund 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.
