Adopt Zuzu B

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Zuzu - awaits at our shelter in Hungary - Zuzu – Who will show her how beautiful life can be? 🧡Zuzu was born in January 2018, is about 59 cm tall and weighs 25 kg. She currently lives at our shelter in Hungary and eagerly awaits a loving home. Her previous life was tough: For many years she had to stay on a chain without care and protection. The neglect has left its marks – over the years her ears were so severely injured by flies that they had to be amputated. Yet despite everything, Zuzu has maintained her gentle nature. She is incredibly affectionate towards humans, seeks closeness, enjoys every stroke, and faces life with a touching gentleness. At the animal shelter, she currently lives peacefully with the male dogs Hachiko, so she could be happily rehomed to a calm male dog environment – or even as a lone princess find her new happiness. Walking on a leash is something she already knows. For Zuzu, we wish a quiet, understanding home, preferably with people who have Akita experience or those willing to deeply understand the needs of this special breed. Zuzu has endured so much – now she deserves a life full of love, security, and safety. Who will give her the chance for a new life and show her what a true home feels like? Where are the people who will open their hearts for Zuzu? We're happy to hear from you if you're interested or have questions!

Zuzu- wartet im Tierheim in Ungarn - Zuzu – Wer zeigt ihr, wie schön das Leben sein kann? 🧡Zuzu wurde im Januar 2018 geboren, ist etwa 59 cm groß und wiegt 25 kg. Sie lebt derzeit im Tierheim in Ungarn und wartet sehnsüchtig auf ein liebevolles Zuhause. Ihr bisheriges Leben war hart: Viele Jahre musste sie an einer Kette verbringen, ohne Fürsorge und ohne Schutz. Die Vernachlässigung hat Spuren hinterlassen – über die Jahre wurden ihre Ohren durch Fliegen so stark verletzt, dass sie amputiert werden mussten. Doch trotz all dem hat Zuzu sich ihr sanftes Wesen bewahrt. Sie ist unglaublich liebevoll zu uns Menschen, sucht Nähe, genießt jede Streicheleinheit und begegnet dem Leben mit einer berührenden Sanftheit. Im Tierheim lebt sie aktuell problemlos mit dem Rüden Hachiko zusammen, daher könnte sie gerne zu einem ruhigen Rüden vermittelt werden – oder auch als Einzelprinzessin ihr neues Glück finden. Das Laufen an der Leine kennt sie bereits. Für Zuzu wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges, verständnisvolles Zuhause, gerne bei Menschen mit Akita-Erfahrung oder solchen, die bereit sind, sich intensiv auf die Bedürfnisse dieser besonderen Rasse einzulassen. Zuzu hat so viel ertragen müssen – jetzt verdient sie ein Leben voller Liebe, Geborgenheit und Sicherheit. Wer gibt ihr die Chance auf ein neues Leben und zeigt ihr, wie sich echtes Zuhause anfühlt? Wo sind die Menschen, die ihr Herz für Zuzu öffnen? Bei Interesse oder Fragen freuen wir uns über Ihre Nachricht!

About Zuzu B

What life with Zuzu B looks like

Zuzu B is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. in Nordwalde.

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 Zuzu B, answered.

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