ZARA

German Shepherd · Female · Young · 1 year

Our mixed-breed German Shepherd dog Zara originally comes from abroad and was seized and brought to our shelter. She was born on May 20, 2025, and currently weighs about 21.1 kg. Her shoulder height is around 50 cm. Zara is a friendly, affectionate, and playful young dog who enjoys being close to people. She is athletic, active, and wants to be physically and mentally stimulated. With her future owners, she wants to discover the world, learn new things, and experience many beautiful adventures together. Since Zara still has a lot to learn, we are looking for responsible people who can give her patience, empathy, and loving, consistent guidance. Some experience with dogs is an advantage, but motivated and dedicated beginners can also get along well with Zara. Zara is not familiar with life in an apartment and the routines of everyday life. Her future owners should therefore understand that she needs to get used to her new environment and be gradually introduced to the various everyday situations. She also wants to learn the basics of dog behavior. With a clear structure, patience, and suitable training, Zara can gradually learn the basics for a relaxed coexistence. We can imagine a home with a family with children, as long as the children know how to handle dogs responsibly and Zara is given enough retreat options and rest. Zara could be compatible with other dogs depending on her sympathy. Whether the chemistry works out should be found out through a quiet, individual meeting if interested.

Unsere Schäferhund-Mischlingshündin Zara stammt ursprünglich aus dem Ausland und kam im Rahmen einer Sicherstellung zu uns ins Tierheim. Sie wurde am 20. Mai 2025 geboren und wiegt derzeit etwa 21,1 kg. Ihre Schulterhöhe beträgt rund 50 cm. Zara ist eine zutrauliche, verschmuste und verspielte junge Hündin, die gerne die Nähe zu Menschen sucht. Sie ist sportlich, aktiv und möchte sowohl körperlich als auch geistig gefördert werden. Mit ihren zukünftigen Menschen möchte sie die Welt entdecken, Neues lernen und gemeinsam viele schöne Abenteuer erleben. Da Zara noch vieles lernen muss, wünschen wir uns für sie verantwor-tungsbewusste Menschen, die ihr mit Geduld, Einfühlungsvermögen und einer liebevollen, konsequenten Führung Sicherheit und Orientierung geben. Etwas Erfahrung im Umgang mit Hunden ist von Vorteil, aber auch motivierte und engagierte Anfänger können mit Zara gut zurechtkommen. Das Leben in einer Wohnung und die Abläufe des Alltags sind Zara bisher nicht vertraut. Ihre zukünftigen Menschen sollten daher Verständnis dafür mitbringen, dass sie sich erst an ihre neue Umge-bung gewöhnen muss und Schritt für Schritt an die verschiedenen Alltagssituationen herangeführt werden sollte. Auch das Hunde-Einmaleins möchte sie noch lernen. Mit einer klaren Struktur, Geduld und einem passenden Training kann Zara nach und nach die Grundlagen für ein entspanntes Zusammenleben kennenlernen. Ein Zuhause bei einer Familie mit Kindern können wir uns grund-sätzlich vorstellen, sofern die Kinder einen verantwortungsbewussten Umgang mit Hunden kennen und Zara ausreichend Rückzugsmöglichkeiten und Ruhe zugestanden werden. Mit anderen Hunden könnte Zara je nach Sympathie verträglich sein. Ob die Chemie stimmt, sollte bei Interesse durch ein ruhiges, individuelles Kennenlernen herausgefunden werden. -0Fax: 089/90 73 20E-Mail

About ZARA

What life with ZARA looks like

ZARA is a young adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

A young 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting ZARA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ZARA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein München handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ZARA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ZARA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein München 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is ZARA 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 ZARA 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 Tierschutzverein München early rather than rehoming privately; they know ZARA 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.
