Buddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 14 years

Geburtsdatum: Mai 2012 Größe: unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: ja, aber zeigt nur kurz Interesse Kinder im selben Haushalt: vorsichtige Teenager möglich Zuhause gesucht: stadttauglich, Einzelhund Der liebe 2012 geborene Mischlingsrüde Buddy benötigt eine kurze Kennenlernphase, ist dann menschenfreundlich und kann auch zu vorsichtigen Teenagern vergeben werden. Mit anderen Hunden ist Buddy verträglich, zeigt aber nur kurz Interesse und möchte Zuhause Einzelprinz sein. Er ist stark menschenbezogen. Buddy geht brav an der Leine, altersbedingt ist er inkontinent. Der liebe Hunde-Opi hat kaum noch Zähne – ist aber verspielt und neigt dann auch zum Zwicken, was auch mit wenigen Zähnen weh tun kann. Trotz seines fortgeschrittenen Alters ist Buddy verspielt, sehr aktiv und springt auch. Er bekommt Herz-Medikamente, Nahrungsergänzungsmittel für die Leber und chinesische Kräuter für die Inkontinenz. Neben dem After wurde ihm eine Hernie entfernt – daher muss sein Stuhlgang immer kontrolliert werden. Buddy ist an vielen Teilen des Körpers haarlos – daher benötigt er im Sommer Sonnenschutz und im Winter einen Mantel. Da Buddy nicht gerne allein ist, suchen wir für ihn ein Zuhause, wo er das möglichst wenig sein muss. Buddy ist stadttauglich.“

About Buddy

What life with Buddy looks like

Buddy is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Wiener Tierschutzverein in Vienna.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇦🇹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. Wiener Tierschutzverein 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 — Wiener Tierschutzverein 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 Wiener Tierschutzverein 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.
