Adopt Zoe

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Zoe – a heart on four paws is looking for her home. Here comes Zoe – a delicate setter girl, whose story begins quietly and touches deeply. She was found alone in the woods, weakened, hungry, and desperately searching for a person who sees her. What she experienced before, we don't know. But one thing is certain: Life was not always kind to her. And yet, Zoe has preserved her loving nature. She is friendly, gentle, and meets the world with cautious hope. Every step outside seems like a small gift to her – she loves walks, showing her athletic, cheerful side. She enjoys her food with great joy, as if she has learned how precious every moment is. Zoe owes her beautiful name to a caring godmother. Heartfelt thanks for this support. Zoe is looking for an active home, with people who like being outdoors and love nature as much as she does. She wants to explore, run, arrive – and above all: belong. A close bond with her humans is especially important to her, because she longs for closeness, safety and trust. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and shows herself to be social and uncomplicated. Zoe is ready to give her heart – to someone who shows her that she has finally arrived. The animals are described as they behave in the animal shelter or foster home. This behavior is not immediately shown upon arrival. Some may initially react with fear to the new situation. Animals from the animal shelter all have a past, which was often not nice or even cruel. This past cannot be shaken off overnight. They need time to be allowed to settle in and to gain trust. Please be patient and give your pet the necessary time!

Zoe – ein Herz auf vier Pfoten sucht ihr ZuhauseHier kommt Zoe – ein zartes Setter-Mädchen, dessen Geschichte leise beginnt und tief berührt. Ganz allein wurde sie im Wald gefunden, geschwächt, hungrig und auf der verzweifelten Suche nach einem Menschen, der sie sieht. Was sie zuvor erlebt hat, wissen wir nicht. Doch eines ist sicher: Das Leben war nicht immer sanft zu ihr.Und trotzdem hat Zoe sich ihr liebevolles Wesen bewahrt. Sie ist freundlich, sanft und begegnet der Welt mit vorsichtiger Hoffnung. Jeder Schritt nach draußen scheint für sie ein kleines Geschenk zu sein – Spaziergänge liebt sie sehr, dabei zeigt sie ihre sportliche, lebensfrohe Seite. Mit großer Freude genießt sie ihr Futter, als hätte sie gelernt, wie kostbar jeder Moment ist.Zoe verdank ihren schönen Namen einer tierlieben Patin. Ganz herzlichen Dank für diese Unterstützung.Zoe sucht ein aktives Zuhause, bei Menschen, die gerne draußen sind und die Natur genauso lieben wie sie. Sie möchte entdecken, laufen, ankommen – und vor allem: dazugehören. Eine enge Bindung zu ihren Menschen ist ihr besonders wichtig, denn sie sehnt sich nach Nähe, Sicherheit und Vertrauen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich wunderbar und zeigt sich sozial und unkompliziert.Zoe ist bereit, ihr Herz zu verschenken – an jemanden, der ihr zeigt, dass sie endlich angekommen ist.Die Tiere werden so beschrieben, wie sie sich im Tierheim oder auf der Pflegestelle verhalten. Dieses Verhalten zeigen sie nicht sofort bei Ankunft. Manche reagieren auch anfangs mit Ängstlichkeit auf die neue Situation. Tiere aus dem Tierschutz haben alle eine Vergangenheit, die meist wenig schön bis grausam war. Diese Vergangenheit lässt sich nicht von heute auf morgen abschütteln. Sie brauchen Zeit, um ankommen zu dürfen und Vertrauen fassen zu dürfen. Bitte haben Sie Geduld und lassen Sie Ihrem Tier die nötige Zeit!

About Zoe

What life with Zoe looks like

Zoe is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Aegean Dogs e.V. / FAZA Aegina in Berlin.

An young 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 Zoe, answered.

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