Balduin

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Balduin is a young shepherd mix (born around autumn 2019 and neutered) and one of our concern children. In his young life, he has already endured a lot. Found more dead than alive after being shot and hit by a car, he had to undergo a complex operation to be able to walk again. His left hind leg will likely not heal completely, but we are working to ensure he can have as comfortable a life as possible. Balduin is an insecure dog, which is likely also due to his bad experiences. What do we wish for Balduin? His new owners should be able to provide him with confident leadership to give him security.

DE·Show original

Balduin ist ein junger Schäfermischling (geb. ca. Herbst 2019 und kastriert) und eines unserer Sorgenkinder. In seinem jungen Leben hat er schon viel durchgemacht. Angeschossen und angefahren wurde er mehr tot als lebendig aufgefunden. Um wieder laufen zu können, musste er eine aufwendige OP über sich ergehen lassen. Das linke Hinterbein wird wohl nicht mehr ganz heil werden, aber wir arbeiten daran, ihm ein möglichst beschwerdefreies Leben zu ermöglichen. Balduin ist ein eher unsicherer Hund, was wohl auch seinen schlechten Erfahrungen geschuldet ist. Was wünschen wir uns für Balduin? Seine neuen Besitzer sollten ihm eine souveräne Führung bieten können, um ihm Sicherheit zu geben.

About Balduin

What life with Balduin looks like

Balduin is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Brunn am Gebirge in Brunn am Gebirge.

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 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 Balduin, answered.

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