American Bully · Female · Young · 3 years

Cookie is an American Bully XXL female weighing approximately 50 kg. She is a wonderful dog. Loving and friendly with all people; very affectionate and attached to her owners. Cookie is compatible with almost all other dogs. She has an extremely long fuse and is currently in the "Nanny" animal shelter with two rather naughty young females. Cookie raises the two very calmly and appropriately. Her leash manners could be improved. Cookie shows interest in outdoor stimuli. Some work needs to be done with her on this. It's no fun being pulled behind Cookie due to her weight. We don't want to place Cookie with small children, if only because of her weight. A second dog should also be somewhat larger. Cats should not live in the household. Cookie has an allergy. She therefore receives special food. If you are interested in one of our dogs, please send an email to and include a few details that are relevant for dog placement: experience with dogs; living situation; are there children and/or other animals in the household; how long must the dog be alone during the day. Please include a phone number for follow-up questions.

DE·Show original

Cookie ist eine American Bully XXL-Hündin mit einem Gewicht von ca. 5O kg. Sie ist eine ganz tolle Hündin. Lieb und freundlich mit allen Menschen; ganz verschmust und anhänglich bei ihren Bezugsperson. Cookie ist mit fast allen anderen Hunden verträglich. Sie hat eine extrem lange Zündschnur und ist derzeit im Tierheim "Nanny" für zwei ziemlich freche junge Hündinnen. Cookie erzieht die beiden sehr unaufgeregt und angemessen. Ihre Leinenführigkeit könnte noch etwas verbessert werden. Cookie zeigt draußen Interesse an Bewegungsreizen. Da muss ein bisschen mit ihr gearbeitet werden. Denn es macht keinen Spaß, sich hinter der schwergewichtigen Cookie herziehen zu lassen. Allein schon wegen ihres Gewichts möchten wir Cookie nicht zu kleinen Kindern vermitteln. Auch ein vorhandener Zweithund sollte etwas größer sein. Katzen sollten besser nicht im Haushalt leben. Cookie hat eine Allergie. Sie bekommt deshalb spezielles Futter. Bei Interesse an einem unserer Hunde schreiben Sie bitte eine Mail an und teilen Sie dabei gleich ein paar Sachen mit, die für eine Hundevermittlung interessant sind: Erfahrungen mit Hunden; Wohnsituation; sind Kinder und/oder andere Tiere im Haushalt; wie lange muss der Hund tagsüber alleine bleiben. Bitte geben Sie für Rückfragen eine Telefonnummer an.

About Cookie

What life with Cookie looks like

Cookie is an extra-large young adult american bully dog waiting at Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg in Homburg/Saar.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Cookie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cookie?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cookie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cookie if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Cookie 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 Cookie 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 Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cookie 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.
