American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Senior · 10 years

affectionate, people-oriented The video will be opened via YouTube: Information on data protection. About Jane Jane is an affectionate, people-oriented female dog who, unfortunately, had to be surrendered to the animal shelter due to circumstances. She walks well and happily on the leash and knows the basic commands. She does not need other dogs to be happy; it depends on sympathy! A family experienced with dogs, without children, where the lovely dog could live as a single princess, would be wonderful. A well-secured garden should be available. In Hesse, Jane's breed is subject to the Dangerous Animals Ordinance. This means that Jane must complete a temperament test in her new home, and her new owners will also need a certificate of competence. We are, however, happy to help with both and offer support.

verschmust, menschenbezogen Das Video wird via YouTube geöffnet: Informationen zum Datenschutz. Über Jane Jane ist eine verschmuste, menschenbezogene Hündin, die leider umständehalber im Tierheim abgegeben worden ist. Sie läuft gut und gerne an der Leine und kennt die Grundkommandos. Artgenossen braucht sie nicht zum Glücklichsein, da entscheidet die Sympathie! Eine hundeerfahrene Familie, ohne Kinder, bei der die nette Hündin als Einzelprinzessin leben dürfte, wäre toll. Ein gut gesicherter Garten sollte vorhanden sein. In Hessen unterliegt Janes Rasse der Gefahrenabwehrverordnung. Das bedeutet, dass Jane im neuen Zuhause einen Wesenstest absolvieren muss, ihre neuen Besitzer benötigen dann außerdem einen Sachkundenachweis. Gerne sind wir aber bei beidem behilflich und bieten Unterstützung an.

About Jane

What life with Jane looks like

Jane is a senior american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Russelsheim in Rüsselsheim.

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 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 Jane, answered.

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