How do I contact the shelter about Zozefina?

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

Can I adopt Zozefina if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierfreunde Patras 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 Zozefina 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 Zozefina 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 Tierfreunde Patras e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zozefina 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.

Zozefina

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Zozefina lives on a foster home in Patras / Greece. VIDEOS AVAILABLE !!! female dog/spayed born. ca. November 2024. Size: ca. 53 cm (as of June 2025). Update 16.06.2025: Zozefina is urgently in need of a foster or permanent placement! Unfortunately, the PS in Greece cannot keep Zozefina anymore; the agreed two months are now over :(. We are therefore urgently seeking a foster or permanent placement for the pretty female dog. Zozefina is compatible with other dogs, and cats are no problem either. She is quiet and has the potential to be a great family dog. Zozefina was found alone on the street at the age of two months. Her finder gave the little one a home, took care of vaccinations and care, and everything was good... Two weeks ago, he brought Zozefina to the TA-practice, wanted to quickly park his car, but left without picking her up. Maria was informed and found a local foster home where Zozefina can stay for two months. Thus, she is spared the city animal shelter for now. We hope to find a home for the little mouse by then. Zozefina is an alert and playful furball, lively, and very people-oriented. In her new home, she of course needs a lot of attention and a consistent but loving upbringing. Zozefina is vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and has an EU pet passport.

Zozefina lebt auf einer Pflegestelle in Patras / Griechenland.VIDEOS VORHANDEN !!! Hündin/kastriertgeb. ca.November 2024Grösse : ca. 53 cm (Stand Juni 2025) Update 16.06.2025: Zozefina sucht dringend eine Pflege- oder Endstelle! Leider kann die PS in Griechenland Zozefina nicht mehr behalten, die vereinbarten zwei Monate sind nun um :( Wir suchen deshalb dringend eine Pflege- oder Endstelle für die hübsche Hündin. Zozefina ist verträgich mit anderen Hunden und auch Katzen sind kein Problem. Sie ist ruhig und hat das Potenzial zu einem tollen Familienhund. Zozefina ist im Alter von zwei Monaten alleine auf der Straße gefunden worden. Ihr Finder hat der Kleinen damals ein Zuhause bei sich gegeben, hat für Impfungen und Pflege gesorgt und eigentlich war alles gut... Vor zwei Wochen hat er Zozefina in die TA-Praxis gebracht, wollte nochmal kurz sein Auto umparken, machte sich aber aus dem Staub und holte die Kleine leider nicht mehr ab. Maria wurde informiert, die eine örtliche Pflegestelle finden konnte. Dort kann Zozefina für zwei Monate bleiben. Somit bleibt ihr erstmal das städtische Tierheim erspart. Wir hoffen bis dahin ein Zuhause für die kleine Maus gefunden zu haben. Zozefina ist eine aufgeweckte Fellnase, ist verspielt, fröhlich und sehr menschenbezogen. In ihrem neuen Zuhause braucht sie natürlich noch viel Aufmerksamkeit und eine konsequente aber liebevolle Erziehung. Zozefina ist geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und hat einen EU-Heimtierausweis.

About Zozefina

What life with Zozefina looks like

Zozefina is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde Patras e.V. in Ratingen.

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.
