Zira

Mixed Breed · Male

Zira Zira is searching for the right two-legged companions. With the right people by her side, Zira is a loyal and delightful companion. You’d never guess this 10-year-old dog is getting on in years. She loves long, leisurely walks in nature. We’d love to place this spayed female dog with a confident male dog. She sticks closely by her primary caregiver through thick and thin. For Zira, we’re looking for a household without small children and preferably located in a rural area. With clear leadership and a secure handling style, Zira can be taken anywhere—and in suitable terrain, she can even be let off the leash. She travels calmly in the car and can be left alone for hours at a time. Zira is seeking people she can rely on and with whom she can form a true team. Feel free to get to know this wonderful dog better during a joint walk. We would like to thank Helena Koslowski, Karin Summerer, and Christa Bescherer for taking on the sponsorship of Zira.

Zira Zira ist auf der Suche nach den richtigen Zweibeinern. Zira ist mit den richtigen Menschen an ihrer Seite eine treue und angenehme Begleiterin. Der 10 jährigen Hündin merkt man ihr Alter überhaupt nicht an. Sie liebt lange und ausgiebige Spaziergänge in der Natur. Gerne würden wir die kastrierte Hündin zu einem souveränen Rüden vermitteln. Mit ihrer Bezugsperson geht sie durch dick und dünn. Für Zira suchen wir einen Haushalt ohne Kleinkinder und vorzugsweise in ländlicher Gegend. Bei klarer Führung und einem sicheren Führungsstil kann man Zira überall mit hin nehmen und in entsprechendem Gelände sogar ohne Leine laufen lassen. Sie fährt brav im Auto mit und bleibt stundenweise alleine. Zira sucht Menschen auf die sie sich verlassen kann und die mit ihr ein Team bilden. Gerne können Sie die tolle Hündin bei einem gemeinsamen Spaziergang näher kennen lernen. Wir danken Helena Koslowski, Karin Summerer und Christa Bescherer, die die Patenschaft für Zira übernommen haben.

About Zira

What life with Zira looks like

Zira is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Selb und Umgebung in Selb.

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 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 Zira, answered.

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