Ami

Female · Adult · 8 years

Ami Rasse Staff-Mix Gender Female, neutered Born 2018 In the animal shelter since 07.2022 Special She is muzzled and must be on a leash at all times. Ami is absolutely uncomplicated with people and approaches strangers with great affection and an open heart. She is always in a good mood and is always up for any nonsense. Cuddles are the greatest for her. When the staff make their last round through the animal shelter in the evening, she waits quietly in her dog bed, hoping that someone will come to snuggle with her. Typical of the breed she can sometimes be a bit overbearing and rough-and-tumble, and needs a little bit of restraint. Other dogs, Ami unfortunately does not like at all. Nice male dogs don’t pose a big problem, and she has already lived with a partner in the animal shelter. But one must always be careful that Ami doesn’t lose her temper. Other female dogs, however, are absolutely taboo. During walks, it can get uncomfortable when Ami throws her 33 kilos into the leash and wants to have a good argument. It takes a lot of nerve, calmness, and sovereignty to show Ami that the fussing is not appropriate. Otherwise, Ami walks very nicely on the leash, pays attention to the person, and masters basic commands. She learns very quickly, is super smart, and loves the water.

Ami Ami ist mit Menschen absolut unkompliziert und geht mit großer Zuneigung und offenem Herzen auch auf fremde Menschen zu. Sie ist immer gut gelaunt und für jeden Quatsch zu haben. Streicheleinheiten sind das Größte für sie. Wenn abends die Mitarbeiter die letzte Runde durch das Tierheim drehen, wartet sie mucksmäuschenstill in ihrem Körbchen in der Hoffnung, dass nochmal jemand zu ihr kommt zum Schmusen. Rassetypisch ist sie dabei manchmal etwas überschwänglich und grobmotorisch und muss ein wenig zur Zurückhaltung aufgerufen werden. Andere Hunde mag Ami leider gar nicht. Nette Rüden stellen zwar kein allzu großes Problem dar und sie hat im Tierheim auch schon mit einem Partner zusammengelebt. Aber man muss dabei immer aufpassen, dass Ami nicht die Nerven verliert. Andere Hündinnen sind allerdings absolut tabu. Da kann es beim Gassigehen schon mal unangenehm werden, wenn Ami ihre 33 Kilo in die Leine wirft und ordentlich zoffen möchte. Da braucht es gute Nerven, Ruhe und Souveränität, um Ami zu zeigen, dass das Gezeter unangebracht ist. Ansonsten läuft Ami aber sehr nett an der Leine, orientiert sich an dem Menschen und beherrscht Grundkommandos. Sie lernt sehr schnell, ist super schlau und liebt das Wasser. Ami sucht Menschen, die hundeerfahren sind und die Mühen nicht scheuen, mit ihr zusammen die Hürden einer

About Ami

What life with Ami looks like

Ami is a large adult dog waiting at Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ami, answered.

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