Ziva

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

The cute young rough-haired female dog Ziva gets along very well with other dogs. However, she absolutely loves people. Ziva is a sweetie who always invites everyone to play. The lively female dog enjoys letting off steam, but she also loves to snuggle. When meeting strangers, she can be a bit reserved at first, but this quickly fades when she gets affection and cuddles. A cat test could be done if interested. Ziva is looking for a family—preferably one with older children—that will give her lots of attention and show her the world. The uncomplicated female dog would also be suitable for beginners in dog ownership.

DE·Show original

Die hübsche junge Strubbelhündin Ziva verträgt sich sehr gut mit anderen Hunden. Noch lieber mag sie jedoch Menschen. Ziva ist ein ganz lieber Schatz, der jeden zum Spielen auffordert. Die fröhliche Hündin tobt sich gerne richtig aus, kuschelt aber auch für ihr Leben gerne. Bei fremden Menschen ist sie anfangs manchmal etwas zurückhaltend, was sich aber schnell legt, wenn sie Zuwendung und Streicheleinheiten bekommt. Ein Katzentest könnte bei Interesse noch durchgeführt werden. Ziva sucht eine Familie – gerne auch mit älteren Kindern – die ihr viel Aufmerksamkeit schenkt und ihr die Welt zeigt. Die unkomplizierte Hündin wäre auch für Hundeanfänger geeignet.

About Ziva

What life with Ziva looks like

Ziva is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Portugal in Speyer.

An 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. 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 Ziva, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ziva?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehilfe Portugal 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 — Hundehilfe Portugal 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 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 Hundehilfe Portugal 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
