Buddy

Dachshund · Male · Puppy · 7 months

Hallöchen,Mein Name ist Buddy. Im Zuge einer behördlichen Abnahme kam ich ins Tierheim und suche nun eine neue Bleibe.Ich bin ein sehr lieber und freundlicher Junghund. Bei fremden Menschen zeige ich mich zu Beginn ein wenig Unsicher, taue aber schnell auf und freue mich dann, mit neuen Freunden auf Entdeckungstour gehen. Auch draußen verunsichern mich manche Situationen noch ein wenig, hier benötige ich noch Unterstützung. Aufgrund meines jungen Alters muss ich noch das HundeABC lernen, aber das bekommen wir bestimmt gemeinsam hin, oder?Mit anderen Hunden bin ich soweit gut verträglich, bin aber mit den Feinheiten der hündischen Kommunikation noch nicht so vertraut und benötige hier noch Unterstützung und Anleitung.Gesundheitlich zeige ich mich unauffällig.Ich suche ein Zuhause bei lieben Menschen die Zeit haben einem Junghund das Leben zu zeigen. Da ich doch noch manchmal etwas unsicher bin, möchte ich nicht direkt in der Stadt wohnen, eine ruhige Wohngegend wäre idealer für mich. Kinder sollten schon aus dem Kleinkindalter sein.Willst du mich kennenlernen?Dann melde dich bitte!Dein Buddy

About Buddy

What life with Buddy looks like

Buddy is a puppy/kitten dachshund dog waiting at Tierschutzverein St. Pölten in St. Pölten.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇦🇹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 Buddy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Buddy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein St. Pölten handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Buddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Buddy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein St. Pölten 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 Buddy 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 Buddy 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 Tierschutzverein St. Pölten early rather than rehoming privately; they know Buddy 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.
