Zido

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Senior · 11 years

Zido is very open and friendly toward people, and he is a cheerful dog who is simply bursting with joie de vivre. Zido builds trust quickly and then loves with his whole dog heart. He enjoys the attention and closeness of his people and is generally obedient and a pleasant companion. Out on walks, Zido is a relaxed walker and walks well on the leash; he regularly goes on group walks with us, which poses no problem for him. When in direct contact with other dogs, he decides based on sympathy and can react accordingly negatively. Unfortunately, this circumstance has landed him in the animal shelter, because following a fight with another dog, Zido has been classified as a dangerous dog and is therefore subject to the requirements of the police regulation on protecting the public from dangerous dogs in Saarland. In public areas, a leash and muzzle requirement applies to him. Interested adopters must successfully complete the temperament test with Zido (prior training is required) and pass the theoretical expert knowledge certification. With suitable preparation and in the right hands, we expect that Zido will successfully pass the temperament test. If you are interested, we would be happy to advise you in detail on this topic and on the . Zido is going to be an only dog, and we are looking for consistent people with dog experience who can guide him safely and for whom the muzzle and leash requirement is no problem. We ask interested parties to contact us by email at:

Zido ist Menschen gegenüber sehr aufgeschlossen und positiv gestimmt, er ist ein fröhlicher Hund und sprüht nur so vor Lebensfreude. Zido baut schnell Vertrauen auf und liebt dann auch mit ganzem Hundeherz. Er genießt die Aufmerksamkeit und Nähe seiner Menschen und ist grundsätzlich gehorsam und ein angenehmer Begleiter. Draußen beim Gassi ist Zido ein entspannter Spaziergänger und leinenführig, er geht bei uns regelmäßig in der Gruppe Gassi, was kein Problem für ihn darstellt. Im direkten Kontakt mit Artgenossen entscheidet er nach Sympathie und kann auch entsprechend negativ reagieren. Dieser Umstand hat ihn leider ins Tierheim befördert, denn Zido ist aufgrund einer Beißerei mit einem Artgenossen als gefährlicher Hund eingestuft und unterliegt somit den Auflagen der Polizeiverordnung über den Schutz der Bevölkerung vor gefährlichen Hunden im Saarland. Auf öffentlichem Gelände gilt für ihn die Leinen- und Maulkorbpflicht. Interessenten müssen mit Zido den Wesenstest erfolgreich absolvieren (vorheriges Training vorausgesetzt) und den Sachkundenachweis in theoretischer Form absolvieren. Mit geeigneter Vorbereitung und in den richtigen Händen gehen wir davon aus, dass Zido den Wesenstest erfolgreich absolvieren wird. Bei Interesse beraten wir Sie gerne ausführlich zu dieser Thematik und dem Ablauf der Adoption. Zido zieht als Einzelprinz aus und wir suchen für ihn konsequente Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, die ihn sicher führen und für die die Maulkorb- und Leinenpflicht kein Problem darstellt. Wir bitten Interessenten um Kontaktaufnahme per E-Mail an:

About Zido

What life with Zido looks like

Zido is a senior staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken in Saarbrücken.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Zido, answered.

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