Antonia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Shy Sensibelchen Gender: female, neutered Date of Birth: April 2024 Size: slightly under knee-high Gets along with dogs: yes Possible with children in the same household: quiet teenagers possible Home sought: house with a garden, in the countryside The shy, 2024-born mixed-breed female dog Antonia needs a getting-to-know-you phase to overcome her insecurity, then she is people-friendly and can also be placed with quiet teenagers in the same household. She gets along well with other dogs. The sensitive female dog is house-trained, but she is not yet familiar with a harness and leash – this must be built up step-by-step with patience and without pressuring her. For this reason, we are currently seeking a home in the countryside with a garden for Antonia, where she can walk around in the beginning (until she is able to be led on a leash) with people who are sensitive to her.

„Schüchternes Sensibelchen Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: April 2024 Größe: knapp unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: ruhige Teenager möglich Zuhause gesucht: Haus mit Garten, am Land Die schüchterne, 2024 geborene Mischlingshündin Antonia benötigt eine Kennenlernphase, um ihre Unsicherheit zu überwinden, ist dann menschenfreundlich kann auch zu ruhigen Teenagern im selben Haushalt vergeben werden. Mit anderen Hunden ist Antonia gut verträglich. Die sensible Hündin ist stubenrein, Brustgeschirr und Leine kennt sie noch nicht – dies muss noch kleinschrittig mit Geduld und ohne sie zu bedrängen aufgebaut werden. Aus diesem Grund suchen wir zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt für Antonia ein Zuhause am Land mit Garten, wo sie in der Anfangszeit (solange sie noch nicht an der eine spazieren geführt werden kann) Gassi gehen kann, bei Menschen, die sensibel mit ihr umgehen.“

About Antonia

What life with Antonia looks like

Antonia is a small young adult mixed breed 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.

🇦🇹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 Antonia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Antonia?
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 Antonia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Antonia 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 Antonia 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 Antonia 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 Antonia 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.
