Nala

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Adult · 4 years

Other dogs: must be tested. Other animals: rather not. Children: steady, sensible, aged around 12 and up. Dog experience: dog experience required. Issues: allergies, very energetic. Special feature: prefers to be a listed breed. Hello hello, I’m Nala! As you can already see from the photo, I’m graceful and delicately built... um... well, let’s just say: You should be steady and strong to handle me. Right now, I can’t do much yet and just kind of do whatever comes into my head. That’s why there shouldn’t be small children living in my new home—though if they’re around 12 years old or older, we could talk about it. I am sweet, but sometimes a bit overexcited. I couldn’t really express that side of myself in my previous life, because back then I was always alone in a kennel. So we don’t know for sure whether I’d get along with other dogs. As is often the case with my breed, I also struggle with allergies; my caregivers can tell you more about that. If you’re interested in getting to know “little me,” please get in touch and tell us a bit about your dog experience and your knowledge about listed breeds!

Andere Hunde: muss getestet werden Andere Tiere: eher nein Kinder: standfeste, vernünftige ab ca. 12 Jahren Hundeerfahrung: Hundeerfahrung erforderlich Probleme: Allergien, sehr kräftig Besonderheit: lieber Listenhund Hallo hallo, ich bin Nala! Wie ihr schon am Bild sehen könnt, bin ich grazil und feingliedrig...ähem...naja, sagen wir so: Ihr solltet standfest und kräftig sein, um mit mir umgehen zu können. Stand jetzt kann ich nämlich noch nicht so viel und mache halt, was mir so einfällt. Daher sollten in meinem neuen Zuhause auch keine Kleinen Kinder wohnen, so ab 12 Jahren können wir drüber reden. Lieb bin ich ja, aber halt manchmal etwas überschwänglich. Das konnte ich in meinem vorigen Leben nicht so ausleben, denn da war ich immer alleine in einem Zwinger. Daher weiß man auch nicht, ob ich mich mit anderen Hunden verstehe. Wie so oft bei meiner Rasse, habe auch ich mit Allergien zu kämpfen, dazu können Euch meine Pfleger noch mehr sagen. Bei Interesse an meiner "Wenigkeit" meldet Euch unter und erzählt schonmal, was Ihr an Hundeerfahrung und Wissen über Listenhunde mitbringt!

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is an adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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 Nala, answered.

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