Lia

American Bully · Female · Adult · 6 years

This is how she describes her current home: American Bully female Lia is looking for her forever home – a loyal companion with a gentle core Lia is a beautiful American Bully female (born in November 2020), completely healthy and, of course, fully house-trained. Due to a series of unforeseeable setbacks and a possible emigration, I have to find a new, loving home for her with a heavy heart. Lia's Character & Daily Life Lia combines the best of two worlds: Outdoors, she is typical of her breed – an active, energetic partner who loves running and water. At home, she transforms into a calm cuddle bug who enjoys sleeping for long stretches and being very close to her people. People & Animals Other Dogs & Cats: Encounters depend on sympathy. She generally gets along much better with males than with females. She already knows cats and children. Encounters & Insecurities: Lia observes people very closely. When unfamiliar people come too close, she sometimes reacts insecurely and occasionally jumps on the leash. Pet Peeves: She cannot stand inline skaters and skateboarders – with them, she needs clear, confident leadership and sufficient distance. Diet & Settling In She tolerates beef and lamb very well, while poultry must be strictly avoided (it causes diarrhea). She needs to get used to new surroundings first; she requires time, patience, and guidance to truly settle in. The Ideal Home We are looking for people experienced with dogs who can guide Lia through insecure situations with loving consistency and give her the time she needs to settle in. A calm environment without hustle and bustle would be ideal for her.

So beschreibt sie das bisherige Zuhause:American Bully Hündin Lia sucht ihr Herzenszuhause - Treue Wegbegleiterin mit sanftem Kern ​Lia ist eine wunderschöne American Bully Hündin (geboren im November 2020), rundum gesund und natürlich vollkommen stubenrein. Wegen einer Reihe unvorhersehbarer Schicksalsschläge und einer eventuellen Auswanderung muss ich für sie schweren Herzens ein neues, liebevolles Zuhause finden. ​Lias Charakter & Alltag Lia vereint das Beste aus zwei Welten: Draußen ist sie typisch für ihre Rasse eine aktive, bewegungsfreudige Partnerin, die begeistert läuft und das Wasser liebt. Zuhause verwandelt sie sich in eine ruhige Kuschelmaus, die es genießt, ausgiebig zu schlafen und ganz nah bei ihren Menschen zu sein. ​Mensch & Tier ​Artgenossen & Katzen: Bei Begegnungen entscheidet die Sympathie. Mit Rüden versteht sie sich in der Regel deutlich besser als mit Hündinnen. Katzen und Kinder kennt sie bereits. ​Begegnungen & Unsicherheiten: Lia schaut sich Menschen ganz genau an. Wenn ihr fremde Personen zu nahe kommen, reagiert sie in manchen Situationen unsicher und springt gelegentlich in die Leine. ​Lieblingsfeinde: Inline-Skater und Skateboarder mag sie gar nicht – hier benötigt sie klare, souveräne Führung und den nötigen Abstand. ​Ernährung & Eingewöhnung Rind und Lamm verträgt sie hervorragend, während Geflügel strikt gemieden werden muss (führt zu Durchfall). An neue Umgebungen muss sie sich erst gewöhnen; sie benötigt hierbei Zeit, Geduld und Orientierung, um richtig anzukommen. ​Das ideale Zuhause Gesucht werden hundeerfahrene Menschen, die Lia mit liebevoller Konsequenz durch unsichere Situationen leiten und ihr die nötige Zeit geben, sich einzuleben. Ein ruhiges Umfeld ohne Hektik wäre ideal für sie.

About Lia

What life with Lia looks like

Lia is an adult american bully 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lia?
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 Lia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lia 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lia 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 Lia 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 Lia 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.
