Heart dog Zhen is urgently looking for a new home after a difficult time!
The nine-year-old Shar Pei male Zhen is currently a sad case in the Salzgitter animal shelter. He lost his home seven months after his owner died and has now been living in the animal shelter for four months. No one from the deceased's environment was able to take Zhen in, which is why the animal shelter staff are now urgently looking for a loving new home for him. To give Zhen the attention he deserves, he is featured as “Pet of the Week.” This is intended to focus on his lovable character and his great longing for a new family. According to t-online.de he is “extremely nice” and gets along with both people and other dogs.
But Zhen also brings with it some challenges. He has a food allergy and needs special food. He also has a medical history: he recently had to undergo surgery because his eyelids were too long and a mast cell tumor was successfully removed. These health problems make it necessary for his new owners to be able to take good care of him. News38 reports that he has mastered basic commands, but can sometimes be stubborn when he has a mind of his own.
A suitable home for Zhen
The ideal home for Zhen would be a quiet environment, preferably with a garden, where he can spend a lot of time with his new caregivers. As the shelter staff note, Zhen would also be suitable for dog owners who already have a dog. He lived with a dog in his previous home and got along well there. This suggests that Zhen has a real sense of friendship with other animals.
In Germany, an estimated 80,000 dogs are currently affected by being handed over to animal shelters every year, as an analysis by hundundhaustier.de shows. The reason for giving up dogs is often an unforeseen life situation, such as moving or the owner's health problems. These challenges are also reflected in Zhen's case, as his former owner has died and no suitable relatives can anymore care for him.
The animal shelter is therefore urgently looking for people who can offer Zhen the chance for a new, happy life. Anyone interested is invited to contact Tierheim Salzgitter by phone at 05341/47886 or by email at tierheim-salzgitter@t-online.de.
