How do I contact the shelter about Amy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz 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 Schkortitz 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 Schkortitz 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.

Amy

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Amy was rehomed as a second dog after Klinga in September 2015. I am female, spayed and born in 2008. I am about 55cm tall. I have been waiting for a new home since August 2015. Amy is an emergency dog from the Muldental. A family father passed away unexpectedly and way too early, leaving four children and their mother alone, along with four furry noses, who had been in the family for years. One of the four could already be rehomed, now the three female dogs are still looking for a reliable home. Amy recently arrived with female dog Bonita to ease the mother's burden. She is now vaccinated and spayed, has developed into a popular walking companion, and is simply a dog dream. She is used to apartment living, likes children and can handle their commotion, is on a leash, house-trained, a good passenger and very Labrador: she loves balls, play, fun and especially cuddling. We would like to place Amy with Bonita, the sporty version of the pack, as she is very attached to her. But we remain realistic and will also rehome both individually if a spot becomes available. Amy is an ideal first dog, suitable for people with jobs, as she has already received a lot of good training and would fit well into a family with children. Anyone interested in the chocolate nose is welcome to visit her at our shelter, you will melt. Walks well on a leash.

Amy konnte im September 2015 als Zweithund nach Klinga vermittelt werden. Ich bin weiblich, kastriert und 2008 geboren. Ich bin circa 55cm groß. Ich warte seit dem August 2015 auf ein neues Zuhause. Amy ist ein Notfallhund aus dem Muldental. Ein Familienvater verstarb unerwartet und viel zu früh, vier Kinder samt Mutter standen allein da.und vier Fellnasen, seit Jahren in der Familie.Einer der Vier konnte schon vermittelt werden, nun suchen die drei Hundedamen noch ein zuverlässiges Zuhause. Amy kam kürzlich mit Hündin Bonita bei uns an, um die Mutter schon mal zu entlasten.Inzwischen ist sie geimpft und kastriert, hat sich zu einem beliebten Gassihund entwickelt und ist einfach nur ein Hundetraum. Sie ist Wohnungshaltung gewöhnt, mag Kinder und verträgt deren Trubel, ist leinenführig, stubenrein, ein guter Beifahrer und ganz Labrador: mag Bälle, Spiel, Spass und am Liebsten das Kuscheln. Gern würden wir Amy mit Bonita, der Sportausführung des Rudels vermitteln, da diese sehr an ihr hängt.Wir bleiben aber realistisch und werden beide auch einzeln vermitteln, wenn sich ein Plätzchen findet. Amy ist ein idealer Anfängerhund, gut für berufstätige geeignet, da sie schon viel gute Erziehung genossen hat und würde sich in einer Familie mit Kindern gut einfügen. Wer Interesse an der Schokonase hat, darf sie gern bei uns besuchen kommen, Sie werden dahinschmelzen…

About Amy

What life with Amy looks like

Amy is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
