How do I contact the shelter about Zsazsa?

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

Can I adopt Zsazsa if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Dillenburg 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 Zsazsa 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 Zsazsa 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 Tierheim Dillenburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zsazsa 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.

Zsazsa

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

DSH, female, spayed, 60 cm. Age: born around January 2014. Zsazsa has been with us in Dillenburg since October 19, 2025. She is very thin and needs to gain muscle quickly. She is very loving and cuddly! Zsazsas dog friend in Hungary, the handsome shepherd dog Zsolti, died on October 12 and it is very hard for Zsazsa. Therefore, we don't want to leave her alone there, but we are bringing her to us. It was not planned before, but since the next transport is in a few days, we will help her at short notice. Although we don't have as much time as she deserves, we still have more than in Hungary, where over 100 dogs are waiting. If it works out, she will be accepted into our office pack. Odi will certainly be happy to have a big dog friend again. Perhaps she will also find a nice home, she deserves it so much. Text TiN (Hungary): Zsazsa has been in the animal shelter Szeged since January 27, 2025. With the help of the municipality Ásottthalm, she was collected from the street and taken into the care of the animal shelter. The dear old Zsasa lives with a male dog in the enclosure with whom she gets along well. She can be tested with female dogs if necessary. There are no problems during walks with other dogs. Zsazsa loves people, she loves being stroked and then immediately rolls onto her back. It will be difficult for such an old female dog to find a place. We really hope that she doesn't have to spend her last years in the animal shelter.

DSH, weiblich, kastriert, 60 cmAlter: geb. ca. Januar 2014 Zsazsa ist seit dem 19. Oktober 2025 bei uns in Dillenburg. Sie ist sehr dünn, und sollte dringend Muskeln aufbauen. Sie ist total lieb und verschmust! Zsazsas Hundefreund in Ungarn, der schöne Schäferhundrüde Zsolti ist am 12. Oktober gestorben und für Zsazsa ist es ganz schlimm. Daher wollen wir sie nicht alleine dort lassen, sondern holen sie zu uns. Es war vorher nicht geplant, aber da der nächste Transport in ein paar Tagen ist, werden wir ihr kurzfristig helfen. Wir haben zwar auch nicht so viel Zeit, wie sie verdient hätte, aber immer noch viel mehr als in Ungarn, wo über 100 Hunde sitzen. Wenn es klappt, wird sie in unser Bürorudel aufgenommen. Odi wird sich sicher freuen, wieder eine große Hundefreundin um sich zu haben. Vielleicht findet sie ja auch noch ein schönes Zuhause, sie hat es so sehr verdient. Text TiN (Ungarn): Zsazsa befindet sich seit dem 27. Januar 2025 im Tierheim Szeged. Mit der Hilfe der Gemeinde Ásottthalm konnte sie von der Straße aufgesammelt und in die Obhut des Tierheims genommen werden. Die liebe alte Zsasa lebt mit einem Rüden im Zwinger mit dem sie sich gut versteht. Mit Hündinnen kann sie bei Bedarf gern getestet werden. Draußen gibt es bei Begegnungen an der Leine mit anderen Hunden keine Probleme. Zsazsa liebt die Menschen, sie liebt es gestreichelt zu werden und schmeißt sich dann immer gleich auf den Rücken. So eine große alte Hündin wird es schwer haben, noch einen Platz zu finden. Wir hoffen sehr darauf, dass sie nicht ihren Lebensabend im Tierheim verbringen muss.

About Zsazsa

What life with Zsazsa looks like

Zsazsa is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Dillenburg in Dillenburg.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
