Zelda

Bernese Mountain Dog · Female · Senior · 9 years

Also, the dear Zelda had the great fortune to escape the breeding farm. Now, the dear girl is in the care of BSiN and can recover from her terrible past in a animal shelter. With each day, Zelda is getting more comfortable in the shelter routine. Even though Zelda is still very cautious, she is already moving more confidently. When Zelda feels unobserved, she uses the outdoor area to roll around and play with her four-legged friends. For Zelda, we are looking for people who would like to show a sensitive female dog the beautiful sides of life with love and patience. Important:

Jetzt befindet sich das liebe Mädchen in der Obhut von BSiN und kann sich in einer Tierpension erst einmal von ihrer schrecklichen Vergangenheit erholen. Mit jedem Tag findet sich Zelda immer besser im Pensionsalltag zurecht. Auch wenn Zelda immer noch sehr vorsichtig ist, bewegt sie sich schon deutlich selbstbewusster. Wenn Zelda sich unbeobachtet fühlt, nutzt sie den Aussenbereich um sich zu wälzen und mit ihren vierbeinigen Freunden zu spielen.Für Zelda suchen wir Menschen, welche einer sensiblen Hündin mit Liebe und Geduld die schönen Seiten des Lebens zeigen möchten.Wichtig:- eine

About Zelda

What life with Zelda looks like

Zelda is a large senior bernese mountain dog dog waiting at Berner Sennenhunde in Not e.V. in Nümbrecht.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zelda, answered.

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