Adopt Zak (m)

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Hey guys, here is your Zak (born 01.05.18 and about 45-50cm tall), and I am sitting here in Romania in the animal shelter. Here I am well taken care of, but it's not really fun here. I spend the whole day waiting with a few buddies, always hoping for my big chance. I've almost given up on finding my own family, because some of my friends have already left and I am constantly being overlooked. Every month, I see other dogs going home and know that they are going to their own families, while I stay here and wait. It's really hard for me. Will I ever find someone who loves me??? Someone who finally thinks I am important??? Please, will someone see me and get me out of here. Zak will be neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and shipped to the Mediterranean test and EU Pass in Romania. All our dogs come to Nuremberg and we also want them to be picked up there.

Hey Leute, hier ist euer Zak (geb. 01.05.18 und ca. 45-50cm groß) und ich sitze hier in Rumänien im Tierheim. Hier werde ich gut behandelt, aber richtig Spaß haben kann man hier nicht. Ich warte hier den ganzen Tag lang mit ein paar Kumpels und warte immer noch auf meine große Chance. Ich hab die Hoffnung schon fast verloren eine eigene Familie für mich zu finden, denn einige meiner Freunde sind schon ausgereist und ich werde immer wieder übersehen. Jeden Monat sehe ich andere Hunde gehen und weiß, dass sie in ihre eigenen Familie fahren dürfen, nur ich bleibe hier zurück und warte weiter. Das ist echt hart für mich. Finde ich denn auch noch einen Menschen, der mich lieb hat??? Einen, dem ich endlich wichtig bin??? Bitte, sieht mich endlich jemand und holt mich hier raus. Zak wird Rumänien kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und mit Mittelmeertest und EU-Pass verlassen. Alle unsere Hunde kommen in Nürnberg an und wollen auch da abgeholt werden. Email:

About Zak (m)

What life with Zak (m) looks like

Zak (m) is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. in Nürnberg.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zak (m), answered.

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