Bones

Rottweiler · Male · Young · 3 years

The young Bones is playful and full of energy, just as you'd expect at his age. He is rarely seen without a toy, racing around. He enjoys going for walks and loves running in the enclosure. His favorite, as mentioned, is playing with balls. Bones knows the basic commands, and with treats he follows them obediently. He also occasionally shows his stubborn side, so he needs to be worked with loving consistency. He needs clear leadership and boundaries, which he has not yet had the chance to experience. Bones does not like other dogs. He is looking for a home with experienced owners of his breed, 1–2 people who have plenty of time for his training and activity.

DE·Show original

Der junge Bones ist ganz seinem Alter entsprechend verspielt und aufgedreht. Selten sieht man ihn ohne Spielzeug herum flitzen. Er geht gerne Spazieren und rennt sehr gerne im Auslauf. Am liebsten -wie gesagt- mit Bällchen. Bones kann die Grundkommandos und mit Leckerlis führt er diese brav aus. Er zeigt uns auch hin und wieder seine sture Seite, da muss mit ihm mit liebevoller Konsequenz gearbeitet werden. Er braucht eine klare Führung und Grenzen, die er diese bisher nicht kennen lernen durfte. Bones mag keine Artgenossen. Er sucht ein rasseerfahrenes Zuhause bei 1-2 Personen, die viel Zeit für seine Erziehung und Beschäftigung haben.

About Bones

What life with Bones looks like

Bones is an extra-large young adult rottweiler dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

A 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.

🇦🇹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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bones, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bones?: 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 Bones on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bones 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bones 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 Bones 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 Bones 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.
