How do I contact the shelter about Chase?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Chase on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Chase if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum 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 Chase 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 Chase 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 TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum early rather than rehoming privately; they know Chase 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.

Chase

Australian Shepherd · Male · Senior

I'm looking for a strong and intimate relationship. I love being close to my favorite person. For my well-being, I need a lot of physical contact. I enjoy being by your side and am an affectionate companion. Chase says: I prefer to observe new situations from a safe distance first. When I realize everything is okay, I become curious and dare to get closer step by step. With a little patience, I'll show you what's inside me. Be patient, I'm still young. What Chase needs: A quiet, active home with people who give him time to come at his own pace. Clear structures, understanding treatment and varied activities help him gain security and build self-confidence. What Chase doesn't need: People who immediately expect too much from him or pressure him. Haste and constant turmoil are nothing for him - he wants a reliable daily routine and meaningful work. Who gives a sensitive dog the chance to trust will be rewarded with a loyal and clever companion. Your donation will be used appropriately and sparingly.

Für mein Wohlbefinden brauche ich viel Körperkontakt. Ich genieße es, an deiner Seite zu sein und bin ein anhänglicher Begleiter.

About Chase

What life with Chase looks like

Chase is a senior australian shepherd dog waiting at TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum in Klagenfurt.

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.
