Zarina

Mixed Breed · Female

A small black puppy girl who wants to grow up in a family. She and her siblings were simply left behind in a cardboard box by the roadside. Fortunately, they were found and so worse could be avoided. At first, they went to the shelter and Zarina went to a foster home, where she lived with small dogs and cats. Unfortunately, she had to leave the foster home and return to the shelter. She is happy when you spend time with her and play with her. The caretakers are also trying to teach her a little bit of puppy school. Zarina is ready for your family, who will shower her with love and show her how wonderful a dog life can be.

Ein kleines schwarzes Hundemädchen, das in einer Familie aufwachsen möchte. Sie und Ihre Geschwister wurden einfach in einem Karton am Straßenrand zurückgelassen. Man fand sie glücklicherweise und so konnte man schlimmeres verhindern. Erstmal kamen sie ins Refugium und Zarina in eine Pflegestelle, dort lebte sie mit kleinen Hunden und Katzen zusammen. Leider musste sie die Pflegestelle verlassen und kam zurück ins Refugium. Sie freut sich, wenn man ihr Zeit widmet und mit ihr spielt. Auch versuchen die Pfleger schon ein bisschen das Hundeeinmaleins zu trainieren. Zarina ist bereit für Ihre Familie, die ihr ganz viel Liebe schenken und ihr zeigen, wie schön ein Hundeleben sein kann.

About Zarina

What life with Zarina looks like

Zarina is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

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 Zarina, answered.

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