Nino

American Staffordshire Terrier · Male · Young · 3 years

Rasse: American Staffordshire Terrier Geschlecht: männlich Geburtsdatum: 08/2022 Größe: ca. 60 cm Gewicht: ca. 40 kg Nino wird sehr anhänglich und menschenbezogen beschrieben. Er hat bislang als Einzelhund mit zwei Erwachsenen in einer Wohnung gelebt. Den Umgang mit Kindern und anderen Haustieren kennt er bislang nicht. Nino kann mehrere Stunden alleine bleiben und zeigt sich in seinem Zuhause ausgeglichen und anpassungsfähig. Der junge Rüde spielt gerne und ist mit anderen Hunden verträglich. Bei Hundebegegnungen ist er anfangs sehr stürmisch und zieht auch an der Leine. Hier muss man ihn gut halten können. Nino hat die Hundeschule besucht, kennt die gängigen Grundkommandos und läuft mit einem Halti gut an der Leine. Menschen werden teilweise von ihm etwas überschwänglich begrüßt und auch an seinem Rückruf sollte weiterhin gearbeitet werden. Nino hat den Wesenstest erfolgreich bestanden, weshalb für ihn in Baden-Württemberg keine Maulkorbpflicht besteht. Bei einer

About Nino

What life with Nino looks like

Nino is a large young adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Heilbronn in Heilbronn.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nino, answered.

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