How do I contact the shelter about Zenon?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ProTier e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zenon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Zenon if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ProTier 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 Zenon 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 Zenon 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 ProTier e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zenon 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.

Adopt Zenon

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 8 years

During our Sardinian tour in September 2025, of course, meeting the new dogs at Canile Arzachena and catching up with some of the already known shelter companions was on the agenda. In Pen 23, the wonderful trio Athena, Margot, and Zenon were already waiting for us. The three siblings had been a family for many years, sharing happiness together. But private circumstances now led to the fact that Athena, Margot, and Zenon lost their home and ended up at Canile. It really hurt us to see them, because it must have been a shock for the three wonderful, loving dogs to be torn from their home, having to leave everything familiar behind. Athena, Margot, and Zenon were overjoyed when we entered their pen. They were constantly around us, enjoying our affection and cuddles. They didn't want to let us go. And it was also really hard for us to say goodbye to them. Even though the dogs at Canile Arzachena receive sufficient food and the staff are very friendly: a real home cannot be replaced by Canile. And for dogs who have already lived in a family for years, it must be especially hard to get used to life in a shelter. Athena, Margot, and Zenon are not young anymore. We therefore wish very much that they do not have to stay at Canile for too long, but rather get the chance to make the big journey to Germany. Here, they should find wonderful homes with loving people and be able to enjoy a few more beautiful years in the family circle. Do you want to give Athena, Margot, or Zenon their dream home with a close family connection? If you are currently looking for a new furry family member and are aware that adoption means not only a lot of joy but also work and great responsibility, then we look forward to your message. May 1, 2026 Zenon was allowed to travel to his German foster home. We provide nationwide placement.

Während unserer Sardinientour im September 2025 stand natürlich auch auf dem Programm, die neuen Hunde im Canile Arzachena kennenzulernen und auch einige der schon bekannten Schützlinge wiederzusehen.Im Gehege 23 wartete schon das tolle Trio Athena, Margot und Zenon auf uns. Die drei Geschwister hatten über viele Jahre eine Familie, bei der sie gemeinsam glücklich waren. Doch private Umstände führten nun dazu, dass Athena, Margot Zenon nun ihr Zuhause verloren haben und im Canile landeten. Das tat uns wirklich von Herzen leid, denn es muss für die drei wunderbaren, lieben Hunde ein Schock gewesen sein, aus einem Zuhause herausgerissen zu werden, alles Gewohnte hinter sich lassen zu müssen.Athena, Margot und Zenon freuten sich riesig, als wir ihr Gehege betraten. Sie waren ständig um uns herum, genossen unsere Zuwendung und die Streicheleinheiten. Sie wollten uns gar nicht mehr gehen lassen. Und es fiel uns auch richtig schwer, uns wieder von ihnen zu verabschieden.Auch wenn die Hunde im Canile Arzachena ausreichend Futter bekommen und die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich sind: Ein richtiges Zuhause kann das Canile nicht ersetzen. Und für Hunde, die über Jahre schon in einer Familie gelebt, muss es besonders schlimm sein, sich mit dem Leben in einem Canile abfinden zu müssen.Athena, Margot und Zenon sind ja auch keine Jungspunde mehr. Wir wünschen uns deshalb sehr, dass sie nicht allzu lange im Canile ausharren müssen, sondern bald ihre Chance bekommen, die große Reise nach Deutschland anzutreten. Hier sollen sie dann bei lieben Menschen ihre wunderbaren Zuhause finden und noch einige schöne Jahre im Familienkreis erleben dürfen.Möchten Sie Athena, Margot oder Zenon das Traumzuhause mit engem Familienanschluss schenken?Wenn Sie gerade auf der Suche nach einem neuen fellnasigen Familienmitglied sind und Ihnen bewusst ist, dass eine Adoption nicht nur viel Freude bedeutet, sondern auch Arbeit und große Verantwortung mit sich bringt, dann freuen wir uns auf Ihre Nachricht.01.

About Zenon

What life with Zenon looks like

Zenon is a extra-large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
