How do I contact the shelter about Bruno?

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

Can I adopt Bruno 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 Bruno 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 Bruno 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 Bruno 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.

Bruno

Male · Adult · 4 years

Bruno is 3 years old, a Hovawart mix, and has a clear passion: balls! If there's a ball in play, Bruno is probably not far away. His playful nature makes him a great partner for shared activities - although he also knows when it's time to take a comfortable break. As befits a Hovawart mix, Bruno is attentive, vigilant, and very loyal to his caregivers. He approaches strangers with initial skepticism. He wants to get to know someone first before warming up. Once he's met someone, the ice usually breaks quickly and Bruno shows his approachable side. Bruno needs people who understand his confident nature, give him clear guidance, and enjoy mentally and physically engaging him. Because a Hovawart has not only a laid-back family dog, but also an attentive and hardworking character in its fur. Bruno doesn't need other animals in his new home. Children should not live with him either.

DE·Show original

Bruno ist 3 Jahre alt, ein Hovawart-Mix und hat eine ganz klare Leidenschaft: Bälle! Wenn irgendwo ein Ball im Spiel ist, ist Bruno vermutlich nicht weit entfernt. Seine verspielte Art macht ihn zu einem tollen Partner für gemeinsame Beschäftigung. Und nach einer ausgiebigen Runde darf natürlich auch eine gemütliche Pause nicht fehlen. Wie es sich für einen Hovawart-Mix gehört, ist Bruno aufmerksam, wachsam und seinen Bezugspersonen gegenüber sehr loyal. Fremden Menschen begegnet er anfangs etwas skeptisch und unsicher, taut aber meist recht schnell auf, wenn er merkt, dass alles in Ordnung ist. Dann zeigt sich seine zugängliche und fröhliche Seite. Bruno bringt einige rassetypische Eigenschaften mit, dazu gehört auch ein ausgeprägtes Territorialverhalten. Ein Zuhause am Stadtrand würde daher gut zu ihm passen. Seine zukünftigen Menschen sollten Freude daran haben, ihn körperlich und geistig zu beschäftigen, ihm gleichzeitig aber auch klare Orientierung und Sicherheit geben. Mit anderen Hunden ist Bruno grundsätzlich verträglich. Andere Tiere braucht er in seinem neuen Zuhause allerdings nicht. Kleine Kinder sollten ebenfalls nicht mit ihm zusammenleben. Jugendliche, die seine Grenzen respektieren und ihn nicht bedrängen, können hingegen gut zu ihm passen. Und wenn dann noch ein Ball zum Einsatz kommt, ist Bruno vermutlich ohnehin restlos glücklich.

About Bruno

What life with Bruno looks like

Bruno is a large adult dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

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.
