Amy

German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 5 years

Amy ist eine etwa 4 Jahre – (2025) – alte Schäferhund-Mix-Hündin, die wegen Überforderung abgegeben wurde und nun auf der Suche nach einem erfahrenen Zuhause ist. Amy ist eine sehr sensible und gleichzeitig selbstbewusste Hündin, die klare Strukturen und konsequente Führung benötigt, um sich sicher und wohl zu fühlen.Sie hat in der Vergangenheit gelernt, sich durch Aggression Distanz zu verschaffen, was in stressigen Situationen noch vorkommen kann. Mit Geduld und positiver Verstärkung haben wir bereits gute Fortschritte erzielt, und sie zeigt sich inzwischen deutlich ruhiger und gelassener im Umgang. Dennoch suchen wir für Amy Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit vermitteln können und mit ihrem Verhalten sensibel umgehen.Amy ist mit anderen Hunden nach Sympathie verträglich, wobei sie eher die ruhigen und respektvollen Hunde bevorzugt. Bei Hundebegegnungen braucht sie etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen aufzubauen.Ein weiteres Thema ist Amys Futteraggression, die sich durch die richtige Handhabung und konsequentes Training bereits deutlich verbessert hat. Es ist jedoch wichtig, dass ihre neuen Besitzer weiterhin an diesem Thema arbeiten, um eine stressfreie und sichere Atmosphäre zu schaffen.Amy benötigt ein Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder, da sie in manchen Situationen noch unsicher reagiert. Idealerweise sind ihre zukünftigen Besitzer hundeerfahren und bereit, mit ihr zu arbeiten, um ihr Vertrauen weiter zu stärken und ihr das Leben in einer stabilen und sicheren Umgebung zu ermöglichen.Mit der richtigen Führung wird Amy zu einer treuen, liebevollen Begleiterin, die in ihrem neuen Zuhause sicher und glücklich aufblühen kann.Bei Interesse freuen wir uns über eine aussagekräftige E-Mail mit Angabe der Rufnummer an .

About Amy

What life with Amy looks like

Amy is an adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Koppelweide in Wiehl.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Amy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Amy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Koppelweide 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 Koppelweide 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 Tierheim Koppelweide 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.
