How do I contact the shelter about Blue?

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

Can I adopt Blue if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Arche Noah 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 Blue 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 Blue 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 Arche Noah early rather than rehoming privately; they know Blue 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.

Blue

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Blue is a special dog who needs people with breed experience. He is sensitive and requires some time to build trust. New situations can quickly unsettle him, so he needs a quiet environment and a reliable primary caregiver. While he shows compatibility with other dogs, his decision is based on affinity. For him, consistent, clear leadership that gives him security and orientation is important. In stressful moments, Blue becomes easily overwhelmed and may show startle responses – therefore, an ideal home for him would be outside a busy (inner) city. Once he has built trust, Blue greatly enjoys the closeness to his people. Snuggle sessions are among his favorite moments of the day. We wish for Blue a loving, dog-experienced home where he can arrive in peace and show his sensitive but also very cuddly side.

DE·Show original

Blue ist ein besonderer Hund, der Menschen mit Rasseerfahrung braucht. Er ist sensibel und benötigt etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Neue Situationen können ihn schnell verunsichern, weshalb er eine ruhige Umgebung und eine verlässliche Bezugsperson sucht. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt er sich verträglich, entscheidet dabei aber nach Sympathie. Wichtig für ihn ist eine konsequente, klare Führung, die ihm Sicherheit gibt und Orientierung schenkt. In stressigen Momenten ist Blue schnell überfordert, zeigt dann auch Übersprungshandlungen – daher wäre ein Zuhause außerhalb einer hektischen (Innen-)Stadt für ihn ideal. Hat er erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, genießt Blue die Nähe zu seinen Menschen sehr. Kuscheleinheiten gehören für ihn zu den schönsten Momenten des Tages. Wir wünschen uns für Blue ein liebevolles, hundeerfahrenes Zuhause, in dem er in Ruhe ankommen darf und seine sensiblen, aber auch sehr verschmusten Seiten zeigen kann.

About Blue

What life with Blue looks like

Blue is a extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

An young 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.

Note from the shelter: Sensitive dog that gets overwhelmed in stressful situations and shows displacement behaviors

🇦🇹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.
