How do I contact the shelter about Claire?

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

Can I adopt Claire if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Austria 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 Claire 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 Claire 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 Tierschutz Austria early rather than rehoming privately; they know Claire 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.

Claire

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

“Shy Sensibelchen” Date of Birth: June 2023 Size: just under knee-high Compatible with dogs: yes Children in the same household: no Home sought: house with a garden in the countryside, with a second dog Sensibelchen, the shy, 2023-born mixed-breed female dog Claire requires a getting-to-know-you phase with people to build trust. She already looks forward to approaching her foster parents and even takes treats out of their hand. However, she is not yet familiar with a harness or leash, as she still panics at touch. Claire is dog-friendly and therefore currently seeks a home with an escape-proof garden in the countryside, where she can be walked in the garden at the beginning until she can later be led on walks. Her future people should be patient and give her the time she needs without pressuring her. Ideally, she could move to a second dog where she can orient herself.

„Schüchternes Sensibelchen“ Geburtsdatum: Juni 2023 Größe: knapp unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: Haus mit Garten am Land, bei Zweithund Die schüchterne, 2023 geborene Mischlingshündin Claire benötigt bei Menschen eine Kennenlernphase, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Ihren Pflegern gegenüber freut sie sich schon bei Annäherung und nimmt auch gern Leckerchen aus der Hand. Brustgeschirr und Leine kennt sie jedoch noch nicht, da sie auf Berührungen noch panisch reagiert. Claire ist hundeverträglich und sucht daher zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ein Zuhause mit ausbruchsicherem Garten am Land, wo sie in der Anfangszeit im Garten gassi gehen darf bis sie später spazieren geführt werden kann. Ihre zukünftigen Menschen sollten geduldig sein und ihr die Zeit geben, die sie benötigt, ohne sie zu bedrängen. Optimalerweise kann sie zu einem Zweithund ziehen, an dem sie sich orientieren kann.

About Claire

What life with Claire looks like

Claire is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Austria in Vienna.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇦🇹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.
