Amalia

Domestic Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Female, spayed Birth date: December 2024 Size: under knee high Compatible with dogs: yes Children in the same household: sensitive teenagers possible Home sought: house with garden in the countryside, second dog beneficial The shy, 2024 born mixed breed dog Amalia needs a getting-to-know-you phase to overcome her insecurity and then is friendly towards people and can also be placed with sensitive teenagers. She gets along very well with other dogs. Amalia probably hasn't learned much in her previous life. At the moment, Amalia cannot be touched enough to put a chest harness on her. Therefore, she can only be placed in a house with a secure garden in the countryside. A second dog, at which she can orient herself, would be advantageous.

Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Dezember 2024 Größe: unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: feinfühlige Teenager möglich Zuhause gesucht: Haus mit Garten am Land, Zweithund von Vorteil Die schüchterne, 2024 geborene Mischlingshündin Amalia benötigt eine Kennenlernphase, um ihre Unsicherheit zu überwinden, und ist dann menschenfreundlich und kann auch zu feinfühligen Teenagern vermittelt werden. Mit anderen Hunden ist sie sehr gut verträglich. Amalia dürfte in ihrem bisherigen Leben nicht viel kennen gelernt haben. Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt lässt sich Amalia noch nicht ausreichend berühren, um ihr ein Brustgeschirr anzuziehen. Daher kann sie zur Zeit nur in Haus mit ausbruchsicherem Garten am Land vermittelt werden. Ein Zweithund, an dem sie sich orientieren kann, wäre von Vorteil.“

About Amalia

What life with Amalia looks like

Amalia is a medium-sized young adult domestic shorthair dog waiting at Wiener Tierschutzverein in Vienna.

An 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.

Note from the shelter: Must be adopted together as bonded pair with Flummi. Needs outdoor access and patient owner experienced with shy cats.

🇦🇹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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Amalia, answered.

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