Amy

German Shepherd · Female · Senior · 9 years

Watchful, affectionate, playful, has training About Amy Amy is a German Shepherd-Collie mixed-breed female dog who combines the strengths of both breeds: the German Shepherd brings a pronounced watchfulness and enthusiasm for work, while the Collie genes make Amy an intelligent and loyal companion. Because of these traits, she needs clear leadership and structure, ideally from people experienced with dogs. Amy needs active engagement and loves being kept busy on long walks and with mental challenges. She gets along well with male dogs, but given her calm yet assertive nature, she should live in a home without children. A house or apartment with a garden would be perfect for Amy, giving her room to run around and also a place to retreat when she needs rest. If you can offer Amy a loving home with clear leadership and plenty of activity, we look forward to hearing from you!

Wachsam, anhänglich, verspielt , hat Erziehung Über Amy Amy ist eine Schäferhund-Collie Mischlingshündin, die die Stärken beider Rassen in sich vereint: Der Schäferhund bringt eine ausgeprägte Wachsamkeit und Arbeitsfreude mit, während die Collie-Gene Amy zu einem intelligenten und treuen Begleiter machen. Aufgrund dieser Eigenschaften benötigt sie eine klare Führung und Struktur, die idealerweise von hundeerfahrenen Menschenkommen sollte. Amy braucht aktive Beschäftigung und liebt es, bei langen Spaziergängen und geistigen Herausforderungen ausgelastet zu werden. Sie ist verträglich mit Rüden, sollte aber aufgrund ihrer ruhigen, aber bestimmten Art in einem Zuhause ohne Kinder leben. Ein Haus oder eine Wohnung mit Garten wäre für Amy perfekt, um sich auszutoben und sich auch zurückzuziehen, wenn sie Ruhe braucht. Wenn Sie Amy ein liebevolles Zuhause mit klarer Führung und ausreichend Beschäftigung bieten können, freuen wir uns auf Ihre Anfrage!

About Amy

What life with Amy looks like

Amy is a large senior german shepherd dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Russelsheim in Rüsselsheim.

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 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 Amy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Amy?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Russelsheim 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 — Tierschutzverein Russelsheim 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 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 Tierschutzverein Russelsheim 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.
