Paco

American Staffordshire Terrier · Male · Young · 1 year

„Verschmuster, süßer Rüde Rasse: American Staffordshire Terrier Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Juni 2025 Größe: knapp über kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: stadttauglich Die verschmuste, 2025 geborene American Staffordshire Terrier Paco ist menschenfreundlich. Zu euphorisch sollte man in seiner Gegenwart nicht sein, da hohe Stimmen ihn rasch „hoch drehen“. An anderen Hunden geht Paco brav vorbei und zeigt sich vorbildlich – auch im direkten Kontakt zeigt er sich höflich und verträglich, könnte daher auch zu einem Zweithund ziehen. Paco geht brav an der Leine – bei Hitze legt er sich auch von sich aus nieder und ruht ein wenig. Bei Paco wurden Arthrosen festgestellt – er erhält Schmerzmittel und Medikamente gegen Geräuschangst. Ohne diese Medikamente zeigt sich Paco durch Schmerzen in Kombination mit Geräuschen stark gestresst und neigt dann zu Zwick-Attacken. Mit guter medikamentöser Einstellung lässt sich das jedoch gut verhindern und sorgt bei Paco für deutlich mehr Lebensqualität. Der liebe Rüde ist stubenrein und stadttauglich.”

About Paco

What life with Paco looks like

Paco is a medium-sized young adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Tierschutz Austria in Vienna.

A young 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 Paco, answered.

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