BOSS

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Boss, born on May 29, 2021, is a very nice representative of his breed. Of course, he exhibits many breed-typical characteristics, such as excitement when encountering something new. However, Boss is rather laid-back, and as a result, even his “excited phases” soon come to an end. Moreover, he quickly calms down when soothed by balanced people. Boss has a great passion—he’s a “water junkie,” whether the water comes from a lake, a hose, or the shower in the bathroom. Boss can give paw pats and knows basic commands for following. Yet even when following, both human and dog need to find common ground and learn to “get along” with each other. For Boss, we’d like to see confident people who can provide him with calmness and stability in every life situation while continuing to work together with him. Under these conditions, a wonderful friendship between human and dog will blossom.

DE·Show original

Der am 29.5.2021 geborene Boss ist ein ganz netter Vertreter seiner Rasse. Natürlich bringt er viele rassetypische Eigenschaften mit, wie etwa das Aufgeregtsein bei etwas Neuem. Allerdings ist Boss ein eher gemütlicher Hund und dadurch enden auch „aufgeregte Phasen“ bald. Zudem lässt er sich schnell von ausgeglichenen Menschen beruhigen. Boss hat eine große Leidenschaft; er ist ein „Wasser-Junkie“, egal ob das Wasser aus dem See, Schlauch oder der Brause im Bad kommt. Boss kann Pfötchen geben und kennt Grundbegriffe des Folgens. Jedoch auch beim Folgen müssen Mensch und Tier zu einander finden und lernen mit einander „umzugehen“. Für Boss wünschen wir uns souveräne Menschen, die ihm in jeder Lebenssituation Ruhe und Stabilität geben können und gleichzeitig mit ihm weiter arbeiten. Unter dieser Voraussetzung wird es eine tolle Freundschaft zwischen Mensch und Hund werden.

About BOSS

What life with BOSS looks like

BOSS is a large 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. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting BOSS, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BOSS?
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 BOSS on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BOSS 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 BOSS 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 BOSS 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 BOSS 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.
