Amy

Mixed Breed · Female

Breed: Mixed-breed female, medium-sized. Compatibility: Gets along well with other dogs; cats: It’s unknown whether she’s compatible—testing is not possible. Current location: Animal shelter in Istanbul (Turkey). Reason for surrender: Found dog. Amy was found almost abandoned on the street. She was hungry, frightened, and repeatedly chased away by passersby. The dog lives with several other dogs in an outdoor enclosure, where she tends to be reserved but actively seeks human contact. Her temperament is gentle and calm. She’s missing her left hind paw, but she adjusts well to it and it doesn’t hinder her ability to walk. Since she was already found with this disability, we can’t say how it occurred. Ideally, she’d thrive in a single-story, quiet home with a fenced garden or terrace.

Rasse: Mischlingshündin, mittelgroß Verträglichkeit: Gut mit Artgenossen verträglich; Katzen: nicht bekannt ob verträglich, kann nicht getestet werden Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Istanbul (Türkei) Abgabegrund: Fundhund Amy fand man fast herrenlos auf der Straße. Sie hatte Hunger, Angst und wurde immer wieder von Leuten vertrieben. Die Hündin lebt mit mehreren Hunden in einem Auslauf und ist dort eher zurückhaltend, sucht aber den Kontakt zu Menschen. Ihr Wesen ist sanft und ruhig. Ihr hinteres linkes Pfötchen fehlt, sie kommt gut damit zurecht und es hindert sie nicht am Laufen. Da sie bereits mit diesem Handicap gefunden wurde können wir nicht sagen, wie es dazu gekommen ist. Ideal wäre ein ebenerdiges, eher ruhiges Zuhause mit einem eingezäunten Garten oder Terrasse.

About Amy

What life with Amy looks like

Amy is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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

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. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. 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 — Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. 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.
