Wasabi

Husky · Male · Adult · 6 years

Wasabi (24,5 kg )ist ein lieber und freundlicher Husky-Rüde, der leider aus schlechten Verhältnissen zu uns kam. Nun sucht er ein passendes Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit, Struktur und ein schönes neues Leben bieten möchten. Typisch Husky hat Wasabi seinen eigenen Kopf. Er kennt durchaus Regeln und Signale, befolgt diese aber manchmal nur, wenn er gerade Lust dazu hat. Seine neuen Menschen sollten daher Geduld und Freude an einem selbstständigen Hund mitbringen. Mit anderen Hunden ist Wasabi je nach Sympathie sozial. Bei Hundebegegnungen kann er an der Leine ziehen und aus Frust bellen - insbesondere bei kleineren Hunden. Hier benötigt er eine sichere und vorausschauende Führung. Im Kontakt mit anderen Hunden können zudem Futterressourcen ein Thema sein, weshalb ein entsprechendes Management wichtig ist. Wasabi kann gut alleine bleiben. Auch beim Tierarzt zeigt er sich unkompliziert und lässt sich problemlos untersuchen und behandeln. Für Wasabi suchen wir hundeerfahrene Menschen, die mit den besonderen Eigenschaften eines Huskys umgehen können und ihm klare Strukturen bieten. Wer einen freundlichen, lustigen und charakterstarken Begleiter sucht, ist bei Wasabi genau richtig.

About Wasabi

What life with Wasabi looks like

Wasabi is a adult husky 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.

🇨🇭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 Wasabi, answered.

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