Amy

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Senior · 10 years

Amy comes from a very poor environment. When she arrived at our shelter, she was completely apathetic and showed little will to live. No wonder, she had scratches and cuts, open wounds, was emaciated and limped on her hind leg. With a lot of time, tact and knowledge, our veterinarians treated Amy's external wounds. The dog has gained weight and finally looks like a well-fed dog again. Her zest for life has also increased massively and Amy loves to frolic in our exercise yard. We wish Amy a home with experience in caring for her breed, that gives her time and lets her settle in peace. She needs a regular daily routine and people who have enough time to take care of her needs.

Amy stammt aus einer sehr schlechten Haltung. Als sie zu uns kam, war sie völlig apathisch und zeigte kaum noch Lebenswillen. Kein Wunder, sie hatte Kratzer und Schnitte, offene Wunden, war abgemagert und hinkte am hinteren Lauf. Mit viel Zeit, Fingerspitzengefühl und Wissen, haben unsere Tierärzte Amy's äußere Wunden behandelt. Die Hündin hat brav zugenommen und gleicht nun endlich wieder einem gut genährten Hund. Auch ihre Lebensfreude hat massiv zugenommen und Amy tobt nur zu gern in unserem Auslauf umher. Für Amy wünschen wir ein rasseerfahrenes Zuhause, dass ihr Zeit gibt und sie in Ruhe ankommen lässt. Sie braucht einen geregelten Tagesablauf und Menschen, die genug Zeit haben, sich um ihre Bedürfnisse zu kümmern.

About Amy

What life with Amy looks like

Amy is a large senior american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇦🇹Adopting from Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Amy, answered.

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