Ziva

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

Ziva is a female dog, approximately 8 months old, still growing, and not spayed. She has been at the Sighetu shelter since August 2026. She is not sponsored and is not reserved. It is too early to write anything reliable about her character. She needs time to settle in. Typical for a puppy, she is curious, playful, and open to a future with people who want to show her the world with patience, love, and responsibility. She gets along well with other dogs. A compatibility with cats can be tested. Ziva came to the shelter at a few weeks old with her mother and six siblings. They probably came from the street or were abandoned there. The mother is a medium-sized mixed breed dog. No information can be provided about the breeds included.

About Ziva

What life with Ziva looks like

Ziva is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Freundeskreis Notfellchen e.V. in Dorsten.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Ziva, answered.

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