How do I contact the shelter about Phoebe?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Landestierschutzverein Steiermark handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Phoebe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Phoebe if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Landestierschutzverein Steiermark 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 Phoebe 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 Phoebe 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 Landestierschutzverein Steiermark early rather than rehoming privately; they know Phoebe 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.

Phoebe

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Adult · 7 years

🌟 Hello, I am Phoebe, the liveliest Staffordshire Terrier mixed-breed female dog you will ever meet! Born in 2019, I've already seen a lot and bring a touch of adventure with me. When I moved into the animal shelter, I was like a small mystery—uncertain and cautious. But you know what? With a bit of time and love, I've learned to become braver! Strangers and unknown things? They are still a little scary for me. But hey, I'm great at opening my heart once I feel comfortable. Unfortunately, I've developed a few allergies over my lifetime and need special food, so I shouldn't roll around or lie down on the grass. When you get to know me, you can expect a cuddle master and a first-class player! I dream of a home with people who know how to make me bloom with their patience and understanding. Come on, I'm here and waiting for YOU! My heart beats with excitement to begin a new chapter of my life with you.

🎀 Hallo, ich bin Phoebe, die quirligste Staffordshire Terrier Mischlingshündin, die du je treffen wirst! Geboren im Jahr 2019, habe ich schon einiges erlebt und bringe einen Hauch Abenteuer mit. Als ich ins Tierheim zog, war ich wie ein kleines Rätsel – unsicher und vorsichtig. Doch weißt du was? Mit etwas Zeit und Liebe habe ich gelernt, mutiger zu werden! Fremde Menschen und unbekannte Dinge? Die sind immer noch ein bisschen gruselig für mich. Aber hey, ich bin groß darin, mein Herz zu öffnen, sobald ich mich wohlfühle. Ich habe leider im Laufe meines Lebens ein paar Allergien entwickelt und brauche dadurch spezielles Futter und sollte mich nicht in der Wiese wälzen oder liegen. Wenn ich mich an dich gewöhnt habe, dann kannst du dich auf eine Kuschelmeisterin und Spielerin erster Klasse freuen! Ich träume von einem Zuhause bei Menschen, die wissen, wie sie mich mit ihrer Geduld und ihrem Verständnis so richtig aufblühen lassen. Komm schon, ich bin hier und warte auf DICH! Mein Herz klopft voller Vorfreude darauf, ein neues Kapitel meines Lebens mit dir zu beginnen. 💖🐾

About Phoebe

What life with Phoebe looks like

Phoebe is a medium-sized adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Landestierschutzverein Steiermark in Graz.

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.

Note from the shelter: Has allergies requiring special food and cannot roll or lie in grass

🇦🇹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; fees typically range €150–€350.
