How do I contact the shelter about Zumi?

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 Zumi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Zumi 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 Zumi 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 Zumi 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 Zumi 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 Zumi

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 10 months

Zumi – a small heart looking for a sense of security. Zumi is one of four abandoned puppies who were found helpless in a box in front of the animal shelter one day. Despite this difficult start in life, Zumi has kept her big heart and her joy of living. For two months, she was able to stay at a loving foster home where she could learn a lot: life in a house, daily routines with people, and all the little things that shape a young dog. For about a month now, Zumi has been living with her siblings Benji, Tuktuk, and Viola at our animal shelter and charms everyone here with her gentle nature. Zumi owes her beautiful name to her godparents Alina and Sophia. Heartfelt thanks for the godparentship. At first, Zumi is a bit reserved for a few minutes, but soon shows what's really in her: a cheerful, curious puppy with an incredible fine character. She is playful, funny and simply adorable. Zumi loves to play with other dogs and explore her surroundings. Toys interest her little – she prefers to seek closeness, snuggle up to her people, give kisses and enjoy every caress. She is very affectionate and shows how much she longs for security and love. A confident dog friend in the new home would be wonderful for Zumi, but with enough time, patience and affection, she can also find her happiness as a single princess. Zumi is a small puppy with a big heart – ready to arrive and to give her trust, if you give her a loving home. The animals are described as they behave in the animal shelter or at the foster home. This behavior does not show immediately upon arrival. Some react initially with shyness to the new situation. Animals from the animal shelter all have a past, which was often not very nice or even cruel. This past cannot be shaken off overnight. They need time to be allowed to arrive and to gain trust. Please be patient and give your pet the necessary time!

Zumi – ein kleines Herz auf der Suche nach GeborgenheitZumi ist einer von vier verlassenen Welpen, die eines Tages hilflos in einer Kiste vor dem Tierheim gefunden wurden. Trotz dieses schweren Starts ins Leben hat sich Zumi ihr großes Herz und ihre Lebensfreude bewahrt. Zwei Monate durfte sie auf einer liebevollen Pflegestelle verbringen, wo sie viel lernen konnte: das Leben im Haus, den Alltag mit Menschen und all die kleinen Dinge, die einen jungen Hund prägen. Seit etwa einem Monat lebt Zumi zusammen mit ihren Geschwistern Benji, Tuktuk und Viola nun bei uns im Tierheim und verzaubert hier jeden mit ihrem sanften Wesen. Ihren schönen Namen verdankt Zumi ihren Paten Alina und Sophia. Ganz herzlichen Dank für die PatenschaftAnfangs ist Zumi für ein paar Minuten noch ein wenig zurückhaltend, doch schon ganz bald zeigt sie, was wirklich in ihr steckt: ein fröhliches, neugieriges Hundekind mit einem unglaublich feinen Charakter. Sie ist verspielt, lustig und einfach zum Verlieben süß.Zumi liebt es, mit anderen Hunden zu spielen und ihre Umgebung zu erkunden. Spielzeuge interessieren sie dagegen kaum – viel lieber sucht sie Nähe, kuschelt sich an ihre Menschen, verteilt Küsschen und genießt jede Streicheleinheit. Sie ist sehr schmusebedürftig und zeigt dabei, wie sehr sie sich nach Sicherheit und Liebe sehnt. Ein souveräner Hundekumpel im neuen Zuhause wäre für Zumi wunderschön, doch mit genügend Zeit, Geduld und Zuwendung kann sie ihr Glück auch als Einzelprinzessin finden. Zumi ist ein kleines Hundekind mit großem Herzen – bereit, anzukommen und ihr Vertrauen zu verschenken, wenn man ihr dafür ein liebevolles Zuhause schenkt.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 Zumi

What life with Zumi looks like

Zumi is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Aegean Dogs e.V. / FAZA Aegina in Berlin.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — 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.

🇩🇪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.
