Amy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Amy is a little sunbeam. The pretty, young female dog with the charming underbite is always in a good mood and loves to play. She enjoys the company of people and other dogs. Her initial shyness around strangers quickly fades due to her curiosity and playfulness. In the house, Amy behaves very calmly. She loves to snuggle and always seeks the proximity of her primary caregiver. Outdoors, she then lets loose and runs around with other dogs over the fields. She is already very well on the lead, but has a bit of a prey drive that should still be worked on in her new home. Given her intelligence and willingness to learn, this should be manageable. Due to her sensitivity to certain stimuli (umbrellas, sticks, barking dogs, etc.), Amy is still a bit unsure, but this will surely settle down soon. For the sporty and intelligent dog girl, we are looking for an active family that will engage in many activities with Amy and also mentally challenge her. A nice, confident single dog that Amy can play with and look to would be great! Children who can handle a dog appropriately are of course no problem. At the moment, Amy lives in 35043 Marburg – Cappel, where she can be visited. Amy is of course neutered, fully vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, tested negative for Mediterranean diseases, and has an EU Pass.

DE·Show original

Amy ist ein kleiner Sonnenschein. Die hübsche, junge Hündin mit dem charmanten Unterbiss ist immer gut gelaunt und zum Spielen aufgelegt. Sie liebt die Gesellschaft von Menschen und anderen Hunden. Ihre anfängliche Zurückhaltung Fremden gegenüber verfliegt aufgrund ihrer Neugier und Verschmustheit schnell. In der Wohnung verhält sich Amy sehr ruhig. Sie kuschelt für ihr Leben gerne und sucht immer die Nähe ihrer Bezugsperson. Draußen dreht sie dann gerne mal richtig auf und tobt mit anderen Hunden über die Wiesen. Sie ist an der Schleppleine schon sehr gut abrufbar, hat aber auch etwas Jagdtrieb, an dem in ihrem neuen Zuhause noch gearbeitet werden sollte. Aufgrund ihrer Intelligenz und Lernbereitschaft sollte das aber gut in den Griff zu bekommen sein. Auf bestimmte Reize (Regenschirme, Stöcke, Hundegebell,…) reagiert Amy noch etwas unsicher, was sich aber sicher bald legen wird. Für das sportliche und intelligente Hundemädchen suchen wir eine aktive Familie, die viel mit Amy unternimmt und sie auch geistig auslastet. Ein netter souveräner Ersthund, mit dem Amy spielen und an dem sie sich orientieren könnte, wäre toll! Kinder, die vernünftig mit einem Hund umgehend können, sind natürlich kein Problem. Zurzeit lebt Amy in 35043 Marburg – Cappel, wo sie gerne besucht werden kann. Amy ist natürlich kastriert, vollständig geimpft, entwurmt, gechippt, negativ auf Mittelmeerkrankheite­n getestet und hat einen EU-Pass.

About Amy

What life with Amy looks like

Amy is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Portugal in Speyer.

An young 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. Hundehilfe Portugal 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 — Hundehilfe Portugal 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 Hundehilfe Portugal 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.
