Zoya

Mixed Breed ยท Female ยท Puppy ยท 4 months

๐Ÿพ Introducing Zoya ๐Ÿพ Beautiful little Zoya is a 16-week-old Shepherd pup who is just the happiest, bounciest little girl. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿถ Zoya is friendly, affectionate and absolutely adores companionship. She loves being around people and is happiest when she has company, so sheโ€™ll need a home where someone is around for a good part of the day โ€” or potentially a friendly resident dog who she can learn from and enjoy having as a companion. Sheโ€™s a typical playful puppy who loves playtime, exploring and having a good sniff around the garden. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿพ Sheโ€™s settling in really well and is already showing us what a lovely little character she is. As with any puppy, Zoya will need patience, training, consistency and lots of time to help her grow into the wonderful adult dog we know she can be. ๐Ÿก Weโ€™d preferably like a home with some previous dog experience, particularly with larger or working-type breeds. ๐Ÿฉต children 12+ If you think you could offer Zoya the loving, committed home she deserves, fill in the application ๐Ÿ’• Zoya is ready to start her next chapter โ€” could that be with you? ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’•

About Zoya

What life with Zoya looks like

Zoya is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window โ€” house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชAdopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Zoya, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zoya?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zoya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zoya if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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 โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Zoya 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Zoya isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Almost Home Animal Rescue NI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zoya 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect โ€” 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.
