How do I contact the shelter about Zoe-5?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animal Happyend handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zoe-5 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Zoe-5 if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animal Happyend 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 Zoe-5 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 Zoe-5 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 Animal Happyend early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zoe-5 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 Zoe-5

Podenco · Female · Senior · 9 years

Origin Country: Spain This little, very charming girl is named Zoe. She was found on the street with her puppies. While all her little ones have already found a loving home, Zoe still waits patiently for her own family. Zoe is a trusting and friendly female dog, sometimes a bit shy towards new people at first. But with a little love, patience, and some fine treats, she quickly gains trust and will surely become a loyal companion. She walks nicely on a leash and enjoys exploring her surroundings in peace. She gets along well with other dogs but also enjoys spending time alone. Update from 09.12.2025: Zoe lived in the animal shelter with 3 male dogs, which initially worked well. However, Zoe showed herself to be very dominant and not very pack-friendly in this group. She is now separately housed, and we are looking for her a single spot. For Zoe, we wish for a home with people who are familiar with the Podenco breed and love and appreciate her needs and breed characteristics. Who will finally give this gentle dog lady the home she so deserves? Zoe is ready for travel.

Ursprungsland: Spanien Dieses kleine, sehr liebenswürdige Mädchen heisst Zoe.Sie wurde zusammen mit ihren Welpen auf der Strasse gefunden. Während alle ihre Kleinen bereits ein liebevolles Zuhause gefunden haben, wartet Zoe noch immer geduldig auf ihre eigene Familie. Zoe ist eine zutrauliche und freundliche Hündin, manchmal anfangs ein wenig scheu gegenüber neuen Menschen. Doch mit etwas Liebe, Geduld und ein paar feinen Leckerlis fasst sie schnell Vertrauen und wird bestimmt zu einer treuen Begleiterin. Sie läuft schön an der Leine und geniesst es, in Ruhe die Umgebung zu erschnüffeln. Mit anderen Hunden kommt sie gut aus, verbringt aber genauso gerne Zeit alleine. Update vom 09.12.2025: Zoe lebte im Tierheim mit 3 Rüden zusammen, was zu Beginn gut klappte. Allerdings zeigte sich Zoe in dieser Gruppe als sehr dominant und auch nicht sehr rudeltauglich. Sie ist nun separat untergebracht und wir suchen für sie einen Einzelplatz. Für Zoe wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die sich mit der Rasse Podenco vertraut gemacht haben und ihre Bedürfnisse und Rasse Eigenschaften lieben und schätzen. Wer schenkt dieser sanften Hundedame endlich das Zuhause, das sie so sehr verdient? Zoe ist reisefertig.

About Zoe-5

What life with Zoe-5 looks like

Zoe-5 is a senior podenco dog waiting at Animal Happyend in Animal Happyend.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
