Emma

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Adult · 6 years

So beschreibt sie das bisherige Zuhause:Hallo, mein Name ist Emma, ich bin 6 Jahre alt und wahrscheinlich eine Mischung aus Amstaff und Rottweiler. Ich wiege ca. 31 Kilo, bin kniehoch und ein rundum gesunder Hund. Aufgrund meiner Rasse bin ich sehr schmerzunempfindlich und dominant, sodass ich meine Kraft sehr schwer dosieren kann in verschiedenen Situationen, wie zum Beispiel beim Gassigehen. Das ist auch nach drei verschiedenen Hundetrainern eine echte Herausforderung mit mir, weil ich mich schwer auf mein Herrchen konzentrieren kann und leicht abgelenkt bin. Deshalb ziehe ich sehr an der Leine und brauche jemanden, der Kraft und vor allem Geduld mit mir hat. Ich vertrage mich nur mit Hunden, die ich gut kenne. Mit neuen Hunden verstehe ich mich aufs Erste nicht, und kleine Kinder (unter etwa 10 Jahren) sind für mich auch nicht geeignet. Ich bin sehr kuschelbedürftig, kann ohne Probleme auch mal länger alleine bleiben und habe noch nie etwas in der Wohnung kaputt gemacht. Zu meinen Hobbys zählen: Radfahren mit Herrchen, Laufen, Schmetterlinge jagen und fressen. Da sich die Gegebenheiten in meiner Familie durch Nachwuchs verändert haben und es leider mit dem eigenen Baby nicht funktioniert, suche ich jemanden, der mir ein neues Zuhause und eine zweite Chance auf ein glückliches Hundeleben geben kann. Ich bin zwar kein Anfängerhund, aber ich hoffe, es gibt da draußen jemanden, der einen Platz für mich hat und mich so lieb hat, wie ich bin.

About Emma

What life with Emma looks like

Emma is a adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Tierzuflucht in Austria.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇦🇹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 Emma, answered.

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