How do I contact the shelter about Angelo?

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

Can I adopt Angelo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein St. Pölten 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 Angelo 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 Angelo 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 St. Pölten early rather than rehoming privately; they know Angelo 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.

Angelo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Hello, I am Angelo. Together with my brother and our mom, I came from terrible conditions into the animal shelter. Here, it was quickly noticed that I have a few physical impairments, so I've already undergone a few operations. Nonetheless, I am a little big fighter and try to make the best of the situation. With a little bit of your support, I can handle many everyday situations well. I have also discovered the joy of going for walks. Of course, I can't do big rounds, but I really enjoy being outside. As I am not the smallest dog and like to have my space, my new home should have a nice garden or yard. I also wish for a family that already has some experience with us "Mastinos." Since I don't know other animals, I would like to remain the lone king, but my mom or my brother can move in with me. If you do not have the dream home for me, I would also be very happy about a foster home, a cozy and loving temporary home. I hope you will give me this chance! Your Snuggly Bear, Angelo!

Hallo, ich bin Angelo.Gemeinsam mit meinem Bruder und unserer Mama kam ich aus fürchterlichen Verhältnissen ins Tierheim. Hier wurde sehr schnell festgestellt, dass ich körperlich ein paar Beeinträchtigungen habe, so musste ich schon die eine oder andere OP über mich ergehen lassen. Nichts destotrotz bin ich ein kleiner großer Kämpfer und versuche aus der Situation das Beste zu machen. Mit ein wenig Unterstützung von euch kann ich so manche Alltagssituation schon gut meistern.Ich habe auch die Freude am Spazieren gehen für mich entdeckt. Große Runden kann ich natürlich nicht drehen, aber die Zeit im Freien genieße ich sehr. Da ich ja nicht der kleinste Hund bin und gerne meinen Platz brauche, sollte mein neues Zuhause über einen schönen Garten oder Hof verfügen. Ich wünsche mir auch eine Familie, die schon etwas Erfahrung mit uns "Mastinos" hat. Da ich andere Tiere nicht kenne, würde ich gerne der Einzelkönig bleiben, aber meine Mama oder mein Bruder dürfen gerne mit umziehen. Solltet ihr nicht das gewünschte Traumzuhause für mich haben, so würde ich mich auch über eine Pflegestelle, also ein kuscheliges liebevolles Zuhause auf Zeit, sehr freuen. Ich hoffe sehr, dass ihr mir diese Chance gebt! Dein Schlabberbär, Angelo!

About Angelo

What life with Angelo looks like

Angelo is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein St. Pölten in St. Pölten.

An 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 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.
