How do I contact the shelter about BUDDY?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Krems handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BUDDY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt BUDDY if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Krems 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 BUDDY 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 BUDDY 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 Krems early rather than rehoming privately; they know BUDDY 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.

BUDDY

American Staffordshire Terrier · Male · Senior · 9 years

Buddy is a 10-year-old male American Staffordshire Terrier currently living in the Zwettl district and urgently seeking a new home. He is a trusting, friendly, people-oriented dog who cannot be left alone due to his severe separation anxiety. Buddy is a sweet, warm-hearted dog who is very well-behaved, knows all commands, and obediently follows them. He walks nicely on a leash without any problems, and when off-leash, he remains exceptionally well-behaved and comes back when called. He gets along well with the household cats and enjoys cuddling with them. He also knows and likes children. He gets along peacefully with other dogs as well. Buddy loves going for walks and adores swimming. He doesn't bark excessively—only when he's been left alone for too long does he whine and destroy things. Apart from this issue of being left alone, Buddy is a perfect, friendly, intelligent, affectionate, and lovable dog. We would like to find Buddy a loving home with a person who can give him the time, attention, and care he needs. Buddy currently lives in 3900 Schwarzenau, in the Zwettl district. Mr. Hirnschall asks interested parties to contact him via email:

Buddy ist ein 10 Jahre alter American Staffordshire Rüde, der aktuell im Bezirk Zwettl wohnt und dringend einen neuen Platz sucht. Er ist ein zutraulicher, freundlicher, menschenbezogener Hund, der wegen seiner starken Trennungsangst nicht alleine gelassen werden kann. Buddy ist ein lieber, herzlicher Hund, der sehr brav ist, alle Kommandos kennt und brav folgt. An der Leine geht er ohne Probleme und auch im Freilauf ist er sehr brav und kommt auf Ruf zurück. Er ist mit den eigenen Hauskatzen verträglich und kuschelt mit ihnen. Auch Kinder kennt und mag er. Mit Artgenossen ist er ebenfalls verträglich. Buddy geht gerne spazieren und liebt es zu schwimmen. Er bellt nicht übertrieben viel. Nur wenn er zu lange alleine ist, winselt er und zerstört Sachen. Bis auf dieses Problem mit dem Alleinesein ist Buddy ein perfekter, freundlicher, kluger, verschmuster und liebenswerter Hund. Wir wünschen uns für Buddy einen Platz bei einem liebevollen Menschen, der ihm die nötige Zeit, Aufmerksamkeit und Zuwendung geben kann. Buddy wohnt derzeit in 3900 Schwarzenau, Bezirk Zwettl. Herr Hirnschall bittet um Kontaktaufnahme der Interessenten per E-Mail:

About BUDDY

What life with BUDDY looks like

BUDDY is a senior american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Tierheim Krems in Krems an der Donau.

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.
