Lenny

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Adult · 6 years

Lenny ist ein American Staffodshire Terrier-Mix im Alter von 5 Jahren, der aus einer Sicherstellung durch das Veterinäramt stammt. Der wunderschöne American Staffordshire Terrier Mix ist ein Hund, der sich durch eine einzigartige Mischung aus Entspanntheit und Charakter auszeichnet. Mit seiner gemütlichen Art ist er eher ein “lauffauler” Hund, der entspannte Spaziergänge bevorzugt und nicht zu viel Action benötigt. Allerdings zeigt er auch hin und wieder eine gewisse Dominanz, weshalb er Menschen braucht, die klare Grenzen setzen und ihm konsequente Führung bieten können. Wegen seiner Eigenschaften ist Lenny nicht ideal für Haushalte mit kleinen Kindern. Er benötigt Menschen, die ihm ruhig und respektvoll begegnen, ihm aber auch die nötige Sicherheit und Struktur geben. Da es bereits Beißvorfälle mit Artgenossen gab, möchte er im neuen Zuhause lieber Einzelprinz sein. Lenny gehört, aufgrund seiner Rasse, in NRW zu den gefährlichen Hunden gemäß § 3 Landeshundegesetz, sodass zur Haltung einige Auflagen erfüllt werden mussen. Aufgrund dessen wird er ausschließlich an erfahrene Zweibeiner vermittelt.

About Lenny

What life with Lenny looks like

Lenny is a medium-sized adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Tierheim Witten in Witten.

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 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 Lenny, answered.

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