Zuri

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 8 months

Zuri, born approx. 03/2026, not neutered, adult size expected to be medium-large, at the shelter since 06/2026. Currently in foster care in Kerpen 50170. Zuri – self-confident and happy to show a bit of exuberance, but incredibly lovable. Zuri is a cheerful, playful puppy who loves to wrestle with other dogs. She was born approx. in February 2026 and currently lives with her foster family in 50169 Kerpen. Zuri was the biggest in her litter, which is why, in her exuberant way, she often thinks she's the one in charge. She is already quite self-confident, but as soon as it comes to cuddling, it becomes clear that she is just as small a puppy as the others. Despite her boisterous manner, she gets along well with other dogs and accepts appropriate correction from confident adult dogs. Therefore, a first-time dog owner is not strictly required, though it is conceivable for Zuri. Currently, Zuri is getting to know many different everyday situations. Children, other dogs, horses, and poultry are part of her daily life, which she approaches with curiosity and openness. Sometimes Zuri wants to be more energetic than her furry companions appreciate, as she tends to become overexcited in new situations, but she is never maliciously intrusive. Zuri's mother has a short tail, and almost all of the puppies, including Zuri, came to us this way, so we suspect it is inherited. ✔️ vaccinated ✔️ microchipped ✔️ with EU pet passport

Zuri, geboren ca. 03/2026, unkastriert, ausgewachsen ca. mittel-groß werdend, im Shelter seit 06/2026 Auf Pflegestelle in Kerpen 50170 Zuri - selbstbewusst und gerne auch mal etwas Übermut aber unglaublich liebenswert Zuri ist eine fröhliche, verspielte Welpen-Hündin, die gern mit Artgenossen rangelt. Sie ist ca. im Februar 2026 geboren und lebt aktuell auf ihrer Pflegestelle in 50169 Kerpen. Zuri war in ihrem Wurf die Größte, weshalb sie übermütiger Art und Weise denkt sie habe oftmals den Hut auf. Sie ist bereits gut selbstbewusst doch sobald es ums Kuscheln geht zeigt sich, dass sie ein genauso kleiner Welpe ist, wie die anderen. Trotz ihrer hervor preschenden Art ist sie mit Artgenossen gut verträglich und lässt sich von souveränen Artgenossen auch sachgemäß korrigieren. Daher ist ein Ersthund nicht zwingend erforderlich aber dennoch denkbar bei Zuri. Aktuell lernt Zuri viele verschiedene Alltagssituationen kennen. Kinder, andere Hunde, Pferde und Federvieh sind Bestandteil ihres Alltags, welchen sie neugierig und aufgeschlossen entgegentritt. Manchmal möchte Zuri energischer sein als ihrer felligen Gesellschaft lieb ist, da sie in neuen Situationen gern überschwinglich wird aber nie böswillig distanzlos. Die Mama hat eine kurze Rute und fast alle Babys, darunter auch Zuri, sind so zu uns gekommen, daher vermuten wir, dass es angeboren ist. ✔️ geimpft ✔️ gechippt ✔️ mit EU-Heimtierausweis Die

About Zuri

What life with Zuri looks like

Zuri is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zuri, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zuri?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope for Future e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zuri on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zuri if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope for Future 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Zuri 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 Zuri 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 Hope for Future e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zuri 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.
