Zilla

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Zilla, born approximately February 2023, spayed, 50 cm shoulder height, at the shelter since February 2024. Zilla comes from one of the public animal shelters and has been with Maria for a while now. From the beginning, she has shown herself to be an extremely open-minded dog who just loves people and enjoys every bit of attention and distraction. She has already gone on walks with our volunteers and was able to show how great she is on a leash. The beautiful Zilla has a lot of energy and a desire for an exciting life, she would certainly be great for an active family. Although she is compatible, the other dogs in the kennel are too much for her in the long run. Therefore, she would also like to move to a home without other dogs. Zilla now lives with some other dogs on a large fenced field and suffers greatly from the lack of contact with people, so she is one of our emergencies and urgently needs a solution to escape the shelter stress. Currently located in Romania and allowed to travel out if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites at the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life at the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page:

05/2026 Zilla, geboren ca. 02/2023, kastriert, 50 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 02/2024 Zilla kommt aus einem der öffentlichen Tierheime und ist nun schon eine Weile bei Maria. Von Anfang an zeigt sie sich als extrem aufgeschlossene Hündin, die Menschen einfach großartig findet und sich über jedes Fitzelchen Aufmerksamkeit und Ablenkung freut. Mit unseren Volontären war sie bereits spazieren und durfte dabei zeigen, wie toll sie an der Leine gehen kann. Die hübsche Zilla hat viel Energie und Lust auf ein spannendes Leben, sie würde sicherlich toll zu einer aktiven Familie passen. Auch wenn sie verträglich ist, sind ihr im Zwinger die anderen Hunde auf Dauer zu viel. Daher darf sie gerne auch in ein Zuhause ohne weitere Hunde ziehen. Zilla lebt mittlerweile mit einigen anderen Hunden auf einem großen umzäunten Feld und leidet sehr unter dem mangelnden Kontakt zu Menschen, sie ist daher einer unserer Notfälle und braucht dringend eine Lösung, um dem Shelterstress zu entfliehen. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn sie ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Zilla

What life with Zilla looks like

Zilla is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

A young 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 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 Zilla, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zilla?
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 Zilla on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zilla 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 Zilla 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 Zilla 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 Zilla 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.
