Bully

American Staffordshire Terrier · Male · Senior · 12 years

Bully unser Sonnenschein wartet seit geraumer Zeit auf sein Zuhause. Als Bully zu uns kam zeigte er eine ausgeprägte Leinenaggression gegenüber anderen Hunden. Dies hat sich stark verbessert und benötigt aber eine geschulte Hand, da er auch viel Kraft hat. Bully kam über einen Tierschutzfall zu uns da er trotz Hundehalteverbot gehalten wurde. Im Alltag (im Tierheim) zeigt Bully folgendes Verhalten: Bully benötigt eine konsequente und souveräne Führung, dann ist er mittlerweile auch auf Spaziergängen sehr gut führbar. Er wird nur als Einzelhund ohne andere Tiere im gleichen Haushalt vermittelt. Mit Menschen ist er ausgesprochen offen und freundlich und geniesst jegliche Schmuseeinheiten. Manipulationen können ohne Probleme durchgeführt werden. Uns ist wichtig, dass Bully ein dauerhaft passendes Zuhause findet. Deshalb nehmen wir uns Zeit für ein gegenseitiges Kennenlernen und begleiten den Vermittlungsprozess sorgfältig. Für Bully wünschen wir uns einen eigenen Garten oder auf jeden Fall die Möglichkeit, dass er sich draussen sonnen kann, denn das liebt er sehr. Es ist zu erwähnen, dass er in gewissen Kantonen als Listenhund gilt. Dann darfst du gerne das Bewerbungsformular für Hunde ausfüllen. Rasse: American Staffordshire Terrier (gemäss Gentest) Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: 05.06.2014 Gewicht: 39 kg Zuchtland: Rumänien Aufenthaltsort: Schweiz Seit wann im Tierheim: August 2021

About Bully

What life with Bully looks like

Bully is a large senior american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Tierheim und Tierhotel Arche Chur in Switzerland.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bully, answered.

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