Bonnie

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Puppy · 5 months

Bonny is a 5-month-old American Staffordshire Terrier female who can't wait to discover the world with all its facets. She came to us at a very young age because unfortunately, the acquisition and the associated responsibility were underestimated. Bonny approaches life with an infectious enthusiasm: she is absolutely fearless, curious and goes completely uninhibited towards every person. Her nature is fundamentally loving, open-minded and characterized by a healthy self-confidence, with which she bravely explores every new situation. In contact with conspecifics, she shows her best side: while she currently solidifies the basics of dog communication with us, she proves to be extremely polite, adaptable and social when dealing with others - preferably larger and mentally very stable - dogs. With less self-confident dogs, she is very cheeky and demanding, so the human must then guide her and set up the rules for interacting with each other. Basic topics such as house training still need to be worked out with Bonny in the domestic area. As charming and approachable as Bonny is in her nature, it is important for us to take a responsible look at her future. From the young female dog will become a strong companion with an estimated final size of about 55 cm and around 26 kg. We are therefore looking for people who appreciate her positive nature but at the same time offer her the right framework through consistent and loving guidance. In addition to consistent education and physical as well as mental exercise, keeping an American Staffordshire Terrier also requires a willingness to fully comply with the respective official requirements for list dogs (such as proof of expertise and reporting regulations) in some federal states at your place of residence. If you have been touched by Bonny's lively, courageous heart and would like to give her a structured, permanent and stable home, we are very happy about your contact. Do you think you are the right person for Bonnie or would you like to get to know her better? Then please contact us.

Bonny ist eine 5 Monate alte American Staffordshire Terrier-Hündin, die es kaum erwarten kann, die Welt mit all ihren Facetten zu entdecken. Sie kam bereits in sehr jungem Alter zu uns, da die Anschaffung und die damit einhergehende Verantwortung leider unterschätzt wurden. Bonny begegnet dem Leben mit einer mitreißenden Begeisterung: Sie ist absolut furchtlos, neugierig und geht vollkommen unbefangen auf jeden Menschen zu. Ihr Wesen ist von Grund auf liebevoll, aufgeschlossen und geprägt von einem gesunden Selbstbewusstsein, mit dem sie jede neue Situation mutig erkundet. Im Kontakt mit Artgenossen zeigt sie sich von ihrer besten Seite: Während sie bei uns aktuell das Einmaleins der Hunde-Kommunikation festigt, erweist sie sich im Umgang mit anderen – vorzugsweise größeren und mental sehr stabilen – Hunden als äußerst höflich, anpassungsfähig und sozial. Bei Hunden die weniger selbstbewusst sind ist sie sehr frech und fordernd, da muss vom Menschen dann angeleitet und die Regeln im miteinander aufgestellt werden. Grundlegende Themen wie Stubenreinheit müssen mit Bonny im häuslichen Bereich noch erarbeitete werden. So bezaubernd und nahbar Bonny in ihrem Wesen ist, so wichtig ist uns ein verantwortungsvoller Blick auf ihre Zukunft. Aus der jungen Hündin wird eine kräftige Begleiterin mit einem geschätzten Endmaß von ca. 55 cm und rund 26 kg werden. Wir suchen daher Menschen, die ihr positives Wesen zu schätzen wissen, ihr aber gleichzeitig durch konsequente und liebevolle Führung den passenden Rahmen bieten. Neben einer konsequenten Erziehung und der körperlichen wie geistigen Auslastung setzt die Haltung eines American Staffordshire Terriers zudem die Bereitschaft voraus, die in manchen Bundesländern bestehenden jeweiligen behördlichen Auflagen für Listenhunde (wie Sachkundenachweis und melderechtliche Vorschriften) am eigenen Wohnort vollumfänglich zu erfüllen. Wenn Sie Bonnys lebensfrohes, mutiges Herz berührt hat und Sie ihr ein strukturiertes, dauerhaftes und stabiles Zuhause schenken möchten, freuen wir uns sehr über Ihre Kontaktaufnahme. Sie meinen, Sie sind der richtige Mensch für Bonnie oder möchten sie näher kennenlernen? Dann nehmen Sie mit dem

About Bonnie

What life with Bonnie looks like

Bonnie is a large puppy/kitten american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Tierschutzverein für Tirol in Innsbruck.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇦🇹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 Bonnie, answered.

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