Zita

Mixed Breed · Female

compatibility with others: Has been sitting alone in the enclosure for many years, but we think that's just how it is. Cats: Cannot be tested. Current location: foster home Pirot (Serbien) Zita is an absolute cuddle bug! For her, it's a daily struggle to be confined in a small enclosure for 24 hours a day. Without exercise, without walks, without affection. When she's brought out for photos, she practically crawls into your arms just to get a little bit of love and affection. It's a shame such a great dog hasn't been seen for so long. She could also be rehomed with a family with slightly older children. An ideal situation would be as an individual dog. She has so much deserved a proper dog bed of her own. She urgently needs a home.

Verträglichkeit: Sitzt seit vielen Jahren alleine im Zwinger, wir denken aber ja. Katzen: Kann nicht getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Pflegestelle Pirot (Serbien) Zita ist eine absolute Schmusebacke! Für sie ist es ein täglicher Kampf, 24 Stunden in einem kleinen Zwinger eingesperrt zu sein. Ohne Auslauf, ohne Spaziergänge, ohne Zuwendung. Wenn man sie für Fotos herausholt, kriecht sie einem förmlich in die Arme, um wenigstens ein bisschen Liebe und Zuwendung zu bekommen. Es ist ein Jammer, dass so ein toller Hund schon so lange nicht gesehen wird. Sie könnte auch in eine Familie mit etwas größeren Kindern vermittelt werden. Ideal wäre ein Platz als Einzelhund. Sie hätte es so sehr verdient, endlich ein eigenes Körbchen zu bekommen. Sie sucht dringend ein Zuhause.

About Zita

What life with Zita looks like

Zita is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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 Zita, answered.

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