How do I contact the shelter about Ares?

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

Can I adopt Ares if I live in another country?

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

Ares

Male · Adult · 6 years

Hello, I am Ares. I am a Shepherd-Hound mix—and just as watchful, attentive, and sensitive as one would expect from my breed. The world can be quite big and loud for me, so I need a little time to trust new people. If you have patience and show me that I am safe with you, I will open up step by step. And when I do, you will receive my full loyalty. I generally get along with other dogs—but only if there is mutual liking. Children and cats are not part of my circle of friends; they make me nervous, so I would rather live without them. What I wish for is a quiet place in the countryside, far from the hectic city life. I want a person who understands me, guides me, and gives me security. Someone who takes my insecurities seriously but also knows that a good, loyal, and clever dog lies within me, simply waiting for the right person. If you give me time to trust you, I promise to be a companion who stands by your side always.

Hallo ich bin Ares. Ich bin ein Hirtenhund-Mix - und genauso wachsam, aufmerksam und sensibel, wie man es von meiner Art kennt. Die Welt ist manchmal ganz schön groß und laut für mich, darum brauche ich ein bisschen Zeit, um neuen Menschen zu vertrauen. Wenn du Geduld hast und mir zeigst, dass ich bei dir sicher bin, öffne ich mich Schritt für Schritt. Und wenn ich das tue, bekommst du meine ganze Loyalität. Mit anderen Hunden komme ich grundsätzlich zurecht - aber nur, wenn die Sympathie stimmt. Ich entscheide selbst, wen ich mag. Kinder und Katzen gehören allerdings nicht zu meinen Freunden, sie machen mich eher nervös, deshalb möchte ich lieber ohne sie leben. Was ich mir wünsche? Einen ruhigen Platz auf dem Land, fern vom hektischen Stadtleben. Einen Menschen, der mich versteht, mich führt und mir Sicherheit gibt. Jemanden, der meine Unsicherheiten ernst nimmt, aber auch weiß, dass in mir ein guter, treuer und kluger Hund steckt, der einfach seinen passenden Menschen sucht. Wenn du mir Zeit gibst, dir zu vertrauen, verspreche ich dir: Ich werde ein Begleiter sein, der immer an deiner Seite steht.

About Ares

What life with Ares looks like

Ares is a large adult dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Wolfsberg in Wolfsberg.

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.
