Zilly (w)

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Simply adorable, a bit shy, friendly and sweet—yet even these qualities don’t help a dog in Romania. For some reason or another, even dogs like this end up in shelters. ZILLY was quite taken aback when she found herself sitting in the dogcatcher’s box and being taken to the shelter. But she quickly shook off the initial shock and now shows herself to be curious and open-minded. Dogs like her need to get out of there as soon as possible—before their wonderful nature starts to crumble, they withdraw, or worse yet, something even more serious happens. Who’ll help this little princess onto the couch? She’s about 6 years old, roughly 30 cm tall, and absolutely well-behaved, so there’s nothing standing in the way of a career as your best friend, right? Who’ll fall in love with this sweet “big-eared mouse” and give her a little bit of love? Then she could soon be packing her suitcase and leaving Romania behind. Please get in touch for this treasure! Who has lots of love to give, just like ZILLY, and an empty basket waiting for them? Then get in touch fast! She’ll travel chipped, dewormed, vaccinated, spayed, and tested with Snap4. ZILLY will be placed through pre-check and contract via TNH Casa Katharina e.V. Contact: . Our dogs arrive in 91278 Pottenstein and would also like to be picked up here. All our dogs travel with official traceability documents, and of course, we also comply with Paragraph 11.

Einfach niedlich, etwas schüchtern, freundlich und lieb. Auch das nutzt einem Hund in Rumänien gar nichts. Auch solche Goldstücke landen, warum auch immer, im Shelter. ZILLY war ziemlich verdutzt, als sie in der Box des Hundefängers saß und ins Shelter gebracht wurde. Ziemlich schnell hat sie aber den größten Schock verdaut und zeigt sich neugierig und aufgeschlossen. Solche Hunde müssen da schnellstens wieder raus, bevor das tolle Wesen kippt und sie sich zurückziehen oder gar Schlimmeres passiert. Wer hilft der kleinen Prinzessin auf die Couch? Sie ist ca. 6 Jahre alt, um +/-30 cm klein und absolut gut verträglich, somit steht einer Karriere als bester Freund doch nichts im Wege, oder? Wer verliebt sich in die süße “Großohrmaus” und schenkt ihr ein bisschen Liebe? Dann könnte sie schon bald ihr Köfferchen packen und Rumänien den Rücken kehren. Bitte melde Dich für diesen Schatz!!! Wer hat wie ZILLY ganz viel Liebe zu geben und ein freies Körbchen? Dann melde Dich schnell! Sie wird gechipt, entwurmt, geimpft, kastriert und mit Snap4 d Test ausreisen. ZILLY wird mit Vorkontrolle und Vertrag über die TNH Casa Katharina e.V. vermittelt. Kontakt: . Unsere Hunde kommen in 91278 Pottenstein an und möchten auch hier abgeholt werden. Alle unsere Hunde reisen mit offiziellen Tracespapieren und natürlich haben wir auch den Paragraph 11.

About Zilly (w)

What life with Zilly (w) looks like

Zilly (w) is a small 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 Zilly (w), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zilly (w)?
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 Zilly (w) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zilly (w) 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 Zilly (w) 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 Zilly (w) 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 Zilly (w) 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.
