Adopt Zambo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

We are looking for a loving and patient home for our mixed-breed male dog (8 years old). His name is Zambo and he comes from Italy. He is 56 cm tall and weighs about 30 kg. When we took him in, Zambo was already insecure and rather fearful. Due to this insecurity, he can be aggressive towards strangers, barking and growling, and may even snap (but not bite). However, once he has gained trust, he is very affectionate, quiet in the house, and loves to cuddle. Unfortunately, he is also somewhat greedy because he is neutered. He is very patient with our children and tolerates everything they do while always wanting to protect them. This makes him more likely to bark at other dogs or people when outside. Unfortunately, he is completely overshadowed by us, as we now unexpectedly expect another child, and we are very concerned that we can no longer give him the attention he needs. We would be very happy if he could find a loving person or family where he has the opportunity to settle in and receive the attention he deserves! We are happy to answer all your questions and assist with any initial problems. Just write to us. Once we receive your message, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please allow us one to two days for a response.

Wir suchen ein liebevolles und geduldiges Zuhause für unseren Mischlingsrüden ( 8 Jahre alt ). Sein Name ist Zambo und er stammt aus Italien, er ist 56 cm groß und wiegt ca. 30 kg. Als wir ihn übernommen haben war Zambo schon unsicher und eher ängstlich. Aus dieser Unsicherheit zeigt er sich Fremden gegenüber aggressiv, er bellt und knurrt und kann unter Umständen auch schnappen (nicht beißen). Wenn er aber Vertrauen gefasst hat ist er super lieb, im Haus sehr ruhig und verschmust. Leider auch etwas verfressen da er kastriert ist. Mit unseren Kindern ist sehr geduldig und lässt sich alles gefallen und will immer auf sie aufpassen, weswegen er draußen aber auch dazu neigt, andere Hunde oder Menschen zu verbellen. Leider geht er bei uns komplett unter, da wir nun unerwartet noch einmal Nachwuchs erwarten machen wir uns große Sorgen, ihm nicht mehr gerecht zu werden. Wir würden uns sehr freuen wenn er eine liebevolle Person oder Familie findet, in der er die Möglichkeit bekommt anzukommen und die Aufmerksamkeit bekommt die er verdient! Gerne beantworten wir alle Fragen und begleiten bei anfänglichen Problemen. Schreiben Sie uns einfach.Sobald wir Ihre Nachricht erhalten haben, werden wir uns so schnell wie möglich bei Ihnen melden.Bitte haben Sie Verständnis dafür, dass wir uns nicht immer umgehend melden können.Bitte geben Sie uns ein bis zwei Tage Zeit für eine Rückmeldung.

About Zambo

What life with Zambo looks like

Zambo is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Euskirchen e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zambo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zambo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz Euskirchen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zambo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zambo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Euskirchen 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 Zambo 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 Zambo 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 Tierschutz Euskirchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zambo 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.
