Sheila

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Adult · 7 years

Help! I need somebody, Help! not just anybody We provide matchmaking services. If you're seriously interested, please call the number below. The owner unfortunately had a motorcycle accident and can no longer adequately care for Sheila. Sheila is 7 years old, 45 cm tall, weighs 25 kg and is a mixed breed. She is very loving, but not a dog for occasional attention. Due to the long period of understimulation, Sheila has unfortunately developed a habit of barking on a leash and becoming agitated when interacting with other animals. However, despite her frustration with leashes, she doesn't bite. She also has chronic otitis and requires medication. Sheila is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. She doesn't know children and doesn't get along with cats, so they shouldn't live in the household. The usual commands work well. Sheila is loved, but her needs can no longer be met. This is a practical matchmaking, also open to dog sharing. The owner has hoped for months that she can take care of her dog again, but has to admit that this won't work. A mutual acquaintance can be arranged in 44139 Dortmund or 74363 Güglingen by appointment. Please contact and get to know Sheila and her owner.

Help ! I need somebody,Help! not just anybody Wir leisten hier Vermittlungshilfe. Bei ernstem Interesse wenden Sie sich an die Telefonnummer unten. Das Frauchen hatte leider einen Motorrad Unfall und kann sich seitdem nicht mehr ausreichend um Sheila kümmern. Sheila ist 7 Jahre jung,45 cm hoch, wiegt 25 kg und ist ein Mischling. Sie ist sehr liebevoll, dennoch kein Hund für zwischendurch. Aufgrund der langen Unterforderung hat Sheila sich leider angewöhnt, bei Tierkontakt an der Leine zu bellen und sich in Aufregung zu steigern. Aber trotz Leinenfrustration beißt sie nicht. Weiterhin hat sie eine chronische Otitis und benötigt Tabletten. Sheila ist kastriert, geimpft und gechipt. Sie kennt keine Kinder und Katzen mag sie nicht. Daher soll beides nicht im Haushalt leben. Die üblichen Kommandos klappen ganz gut . Sheila wird geliebt, kann aber nicht mehr ausgelastet werden. Es ist eine Vernunftsvermittlung, gerne auch Dog Sharing. Monatelang hat Frauchen gehofft, dass sie sich wieder vollumfänglich um ihre Hündin kümmern kann, muss sich aber eingestehen, dass das nicht klappen wird. Ein gegenseitiges kennen lernen kann in 44139 Dortmund oder in 74363 Güglingen nach Absprache erfolgen. Bitte meldet Euch unter und lernt Sheila und Frauchen kennen

About Sheila

What life with Sheila looks like

Sheila is a adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Hunde-Brücke e.V. in Germany.

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. 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 Sheila, answered.

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