Coco

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Mixed breed unspayed female dog, born 2017 Height: 25 cm | Weight: 4 kg Children: see text | Cats: yes | Dogs: yes vaccinated | chipped available This animal can be adopted after suitable space is found and after getting to know each other. Coco is a small mixed breed female dog (probably Pekingese/Chihuahua) born in May 2017, who was given up at the animal shelter along with a second female dog and a cat because unfortunately no one could take care of the animals anymore. The little dog lady lived together with the children of the family (5+8 years) in a rural area in the house and garden. Coco is a slightly skeptical dog towards people at first, who unfortunately puts herself in situations that then become "too tight" for her. She does not snap or bite, but snarls. You have to give her a little time and take a step back as a person yourself, so as not to immediately start petting her. According to the owners' statements, Coco never snapped at the children of the family, but snarled at them when it was too tight for her. She can stay alone for a reasonable amount of time and is also well-behaved and house-trained. Even traveling in the car is no problem for the dog lady. We would like the dog to have a more rural home with people who can also let a small dog be a "dog" and give it the same respect as a large breed. According to the owners' statements, both dogs get along well with other dogs and we can also imagine a

Mischling nicht kastrierte Hündin, geb. 2017 Höhe: 25 cm | Gewicht: 4 kg Kinder: siehe Text | Katzen: ja | Hunde: ja geimpft | gechipt vergabefrei Dieses Tier kann bei passendem Platz nach ausreichendem Kennenlernen adoptiert werden. Coco ist eine im Mai 2017 geborene kleine Mischlings-Hündin (vermutlich Pekinese/Chihuahua), die gemeinsam mit einer zweiten Hündin und einer Katze im Tierheim abgeben wurde, weil sich leider niemand mehr um die Tiere kümmern konnte. Die kleine Hundedame lebte gemeinsam mit den Kindern der Familie (5+8 Jahre) im ländlichen Bereich in Haus und Garten. Coco ist eine Menschen gegenüber anfangs bisschen skeptische Hündin, die sich leider selbst in Situationen bringt, die ihr dann „zu eng“ werden. Sie schnappt oder beißt zwar nicht, knurrt aber dann. Man muss ihr ein bisschen Zeit zugestehen und sich als Mensch selbst ein wenig zurrück nehmen, um sie nicht gleich zu streicheln. Laut Aussagen der Besitzer hat Coco auch bei den Kindern der Familie nie geschnappt, aber auch diese angeknurrt, wenn es ihr zu eng war. Sie kann eine angemessene Zeit alleinbleiben und zeigt sich auch brav stubenrein. Auch das Mitfahren im Auto ist für die Hundedame kein Problem. Wir würden uns für die Hündin ein eher ländliches Zuhause wünschen bei Menschen, die auch einen kleinen Hund einfach „Hund“ sein lassen können und ihm den selben Respekt gegenüber bringen wie einem großen Artgenossen. Laut Aussagen der Besitzer kommen beide Hunde gut mit Artgenossen zurecht und wir können uns auch eine

About Coco

What life with Coco looks like

Coco is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Dechanthof in Mistelbach.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇦🇹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 Coco, answered.

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