Zipi und Zape

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 8 years

Zipi and Zape, two friendly Galgo-Shepherd mix brothers, have been in the Villena shelter since they were young. We are looking for a foster or permanent home for them, ideally together. Zipi and Zape are around 8.5 years old and stand about 55cm tall. While Zipi is initially more reserved, Zape is friendly and curious about people and wants attention and petting. They get along well with other dogs. Due to their mixed breed, they have a strong hunting instinct, which means they cannot be let off-leash. Since Zipi and Zape have spent their entire lives in the shelter, an enclosed yard is required for them to get used to new situations, and a leash is needed for walks.

Während Zipi anfangs etwas zurückhaltender ist, geht Zape freundlich und neugierig auf Menschen zu und möchte beachtet und gestreichelt werden. Mit Artgenossen haben die beiden keine Probleme. Aufgrund ihrer Rassemischung verfügen beide über einen ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb, was einen Freilauf ausschließt. Da Zipi und Zape ihr bisheriges Leben ausschließlich in der Auffangstation verbracht haben, muss bei Interessen ein umzäunter Graten vorhanden sein, damit sich die beiden an neue Situationen gewöhnen können und ein Spaziergang an der Leine bes

About Zipi und Zape

What life with Zipi und Zape looks like

Zipi und Zape is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Casa Animalis in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Zipi und Zape, answered.

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