Archie

American Staffordshire Terrier · Male · Senior · 9 years

Der kluge Archie ist ein lernwilliger Hund und vermisst es, die volle Aufmerksamkeit von einer eigenen Bezugsperson zu bekommen. Er möchte Spazieren und auch geistig zur Höchstform gebracht werden. Archie kann die Grundkommandos und freut sich immer, wenn er Neues lernen darf. Er mag Hunde nach Sympathie recht gern und würde sich eventuell als Zweithund eignen. Archie hat schon einmal gebissen, nachdem mit ihm laut gesprochen (geschrien?) wurde. Bei uns hat er bisher keine Aggression gezeigt. Er sucht ein rasseerfahrenes Zuhause ohne Kinder. Das sagt seine Spaziergängerin: "Das habe ich alles mit ihm gemacht, außer Spazieren gehen: Bus fahren, Hindernis springen und wir waren auch schon beim Martin Auer in der Maggstraße im Gastgarten Kaffee trinken. Archie ist wirklich sehr brav!"

About Archie

What life with Archie looks like

Archie is a large senior american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Archie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Archie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Arche Noah handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Archie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Archie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Arche Noah 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 Archie 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 Archie 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 Arche Noah early rather than rehoming privately; they know Archie 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.
