Adopt Zia

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Adult · 4 years

Zia Moi, c'est Zia a 3-year-old cross-breed staffie. Found straying and never claimed, I seek a new home. I am a very sociable and affectionate dog with humans. By nature playful, my education needs to continue so it will be essential to have an adopter familiar with molosser breeds. Caution, I tend to want to escape, but with a bit of training, I would make a very good family dog, with or without children. However, I do not get along with cats. I prefer to be the only pet in my family. This animal is not suitable for homes with young children.

ZIA Moi, c’est ZIA une croisé staffie de 3 ans. Trouvée en divagation et jamais réclamée, je recherche un nouveau foyer. Je suis une chienne très sociable et affectueuse avec l’homme. De nature joueuse, Mon éducation est à poursuivre alors il faudra impérativement un adoptant connaisseur des molosses. Attention, j’ai tendance à vouloir fuguer, mais avec un peu d’éducation je ferais un très bon chien de famille avec ou sans enfants. En revanche, je ne m’entends pas avec les chats. Je préfére être le seul animal de ma famille.

About Zia

What life with Zia looks like

Zia is a adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at APA63 Clermont-Ferrand in Clermont-Ferrand.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APA63 Clermont-Ferrand handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APA63 Clermont-Ferrand 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 Zia 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 Zia 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 APA63 Clermont-Ferrand early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zia 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 (FR). 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.
