Canis

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Canis is the perfect companion for experienced rattlers. He is a friendly male dog who seeks the company of his family. Canis enjoys any shared activities, whether adventurous walks, joint training, or extensive cuddles. For his family, he would "go through fire," and he makes it his rattlesnake-y mission to protect them. Therefore, no children should live in the shared household, and a primary caregiver should always be present during guest visits. The male dog shows compatibility with female dogs but wants to be the only pet in the household. Canis wishes for a new family with a garden where he can share many wonderful experiences.

DE·Show original

Canis ist der perfekte Weggefährte für Rasseliebhaber mit Erfahrung. Er ist ein freundlicher Rüde, der die Nähe zu seiner Familie sucht. Canis genießt jegliche gemeinsamen Aktivitäten, egal, ob abenteuerliche Spaziergänge, gemeinsames Training oder ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten. Für seine Familie würde er „durchs Feuer gehen“ und er macht es sich rassetypisch auch zur Aufgabe, diese zu beschützen. Deshalb sollten im gemeinsamen Haushalt keine Kinder leben und beim Empfang von Gästen stets eine Bezugsperson anwesend sein. Mit Hündinnen zeigt sich der Rüde verträglich, er möchte aber das einzige Tier im Haushalt sein. Canis wünscht sich eine neue Familie mit Garten, mit der er viele schöne Erlebnisse teilen darf.

About Canis

What life with Canis looks like

Canis is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Sonnenhof Eisenstadt (Sonnentiere) in Austria.

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 Canis, answered.

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