How do I contact the shelter about Baloo?

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 Baloo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Baloo 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 Baloo 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 Baloo 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 Baloo 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.

Baloo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Breed: Shepherd-mixed breed Gender: male, neutered Date of birth: May 2015 In the animal shelter since: July 2022 Gets along with dogs: yes Gets along with cats: no Children in the same household: unknown Looking for a home: outskirts or countryside The clever Baloo already knows how to drive thanks to his godmother and wants to be a faithful companion for his person, learning a few more cool tricks if you're ready to nurture his smart little head. You can also look forward to some cuddle time with Baloo. "I learn commands very quickly and have a high aptitude for understanding when you work with me – that's what my godmother says, and of course, I agree. At a reasonable distance, I calmly pass by other dogs. In a low-stimulation environment, the leash is completely relaxed, and then I also enjoy cuddle sessions and the reward-based training. During social walks with other dogs, I'm well-matched and prefer to go first. Want to get to know me? Then sign up!"

Rasse: Schäfer-Mischling Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Mai 2015 Im Tierheim seit: Juli 2022 Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Mit Katzen verträglich: nein Kinder im selben Haushalt: unbekannt Zuhause gesucht: Stadtrand oder Land Der schlaue Baloo kennt dank seiner Patin bereits das Autofahren, möchte ein treuer Weggefährte für seinen Menschen sein und bestimmt noch den ein oder anderen tollen Trick erlernen, wenn man bereit ist, sein schlaues Köpfchen zu fördern. Auf die ein oder andere Kuschelstunde mit Baloo kann man sich ebenfalls freuen. „Ich erlerne Kommandos sehr schnell und habe eine hohe Auffassungsgabe, wenn man sich mit mir beschäftigt – so beschreibt mich meine Patin und da stimme ich ihr natürlich zu. Bei angemessener Distanz gehe ich entspannt an fremden Hunden vorbei. In einer reizarmen Umgebung hängt auch die Leine ganz entspannt und dann genieße ich auch Kuscheleinheiten und das belohnungsorientierte Training. Bei Social Walks mit anderen Hunden bin ich gut verträglich und gehe am liebsten als erster voran. Wollen Sie mich kennen lernen, dann melden Sie sich!“

About Baloo

What life with Baloo looks like

Baloo is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Wiener Tierschutzverein in Vienna.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇦🇹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.
