William Snakespeare

German Shorthaired Pointer · Male · Senior · 16 years

William is a quiet and friendly snake. He often lies in his hide and moves slowly towards feeding time, though he can also be a bit more active at times or peeks out of his洞穴。William wishes for a large terrarium where he can crawl around when he feels like it。

DE·Show original

William ist eine ruhige und gemütliche Schlange. Er liegt oft in seinem Versteck und geht es langsam zur Fütterung hin, kann er auch mal etwas aktiver sein oder schaut aus seiner Höhle. William wünscht sich ein grosses Terrarium, indem er, wenn er dann mal Lust hat, etwas herumkriechen kann.

About William Snakespeare

What life with William Snakespeare looks like

William Snakespeare is a small senior german shorthaired pointer animal waiting at Zürcher Tierschutz in Zürich.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows William Snakespeare 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: Requires large terrarium with hiding spaces

🇨🇭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 William Snakespeare, answered.

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