Chandler

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 12 years

My name is Chandler and I was born in 2014. I am an incredibly sweet and trusting mixed breed boy. Unfortunately, due to an untreated eye infection in the past, I have become blind. To prevent inflammation and glaucoma, I need eye drops once a day for the rest of my life. I cope very well with my blindness and do not experience any pain. I dream so much of finding a family for myself. I would love to spend my twilight years in the security and warmth of my own home. I get along great with my fellow animals. My nature is simply sweet and uncomplicated. Therefore, I hope so much that my blindness and age will not rob me of the chance to have a family. Your visit would make me incredibly happy!

Mein Name ist Chandler und geboren wurde ich 2014. Ich bin ein unsagbar lieber und treuherziger Mischlingsbub. Aufgrund einer unbehandelten Augenentzündung in der Vergangenheit bin ich leider erblindet. Um einer Entzündung und einem Glaukom vorzubeugen, benötige ich mein Leben lang einmal täglich Augentropfen. Mit meiner Blindheit komme sehr gut zurecht und Schmerzen habe ich auch keine. Ich träume so sehr davon, eine Familie für mich zu gewinnen. Meinen Lebensabend möchte ich wahnsinnig gerne in Geborgenheit und Wärme eines eigenen Zuhauses verbringen dürfen. Mit den Artgenossen verstehe ich mich großartig. Mein Wesen ist einfach nur lieb und unkompliziert. Daher hoffe ich so sehr, dass meine Blindheit und mein Alter mir nicht die Chance auf eine Familie rauben. Dein Besuch würde mich unglaublich glücklich machen!

About Chandler

What life with Chandler looks like

Chandler is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe in Lochen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Chandler, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chandler?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenhilfe handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Chandler on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Chandler if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pfotenhilfe 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Chandler 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 Chandler 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 Pfotenhilfe early rather than rehoming privately; they know Chandler 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.
