Zuca

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

born: ca. 2019/2020 Breed: mixed breed, medium-sized compatibility with others: Gets along very well with other dogs (better with female dogs) Current location: animal shelter Pirot (Serbien) Reason for surrender: Found dog Zuca is a very open, people-oriented, and active male dog who likes to accompany his people everywhere. He is lively, curious, and confident, gets along well with other dogs (better with female dogs), and is very clingy and loyal. We are looking for people who would like to spend a lot of time with their dog in nature or at the seaside. What a wonderful and lively dog! It's a shame that he has to sit in the animal shelter behind bars for 24 hours.

geboren: ca. 2019/2020 Rasse: Mischling, mittelgroß Verträglichkeit: Sehr gut mit anderen Hunden verträglich Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Pirot (Serbien) Abgabegrund: Fundhund Zuca ist ein sehr aufgeschlossener, menschenbezogener und aktive Rüde, der seine Menschen am liebsten überall hin begleitet. Er ist lebensfroh, neugierig und selbstbewusst, verträglich mit anderen Hunden (mit Hündinnen besser verträglich), sehr anhänglich und treu. Für ihn suchen wir Menschen, die mit ihrem Hund viel Zeit in der Natur oder am Meer verbringen möchten. Was für eine toller und lebensfroher Hund! Schade, dass er im Tierheim 24 Stunden hinter Gittern sitzen muss.

About Zuca

What life with Zuca looks like

Zuca 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 Zuca, answered.

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