How do I contact the shelter about Connor?

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 Connor on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Connor 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 Connor 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 Connor 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 Connor 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.

Connor

American Staffordshire Terrier · Male · Senior · 7 years

, FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 o'clock _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler I enjoy being out with you and have a lot of fun with movement. At the same time, my mental fitness through search and puzzle games contributes to my well-being. This is Connor: Hello, I'm Connor - a character head with a heart! I know what I want, and I need someone with a sense of responsibility. I love dogs regardless of size and gender. But thunderstorms? No thanks! They really mess up my inner balance. Despite my age, I still have a lot of energy and need a lot of exercise. I love search and puzzle games and would be happy if my future owner mentally stimulates me with them. My secret passion? Water and swimming - maybe we will share this in the future! What Connor needs: Connor needs experienced hands that can handle his self-confidence, give him attention, and offer him trust and orientation. In situations where he feels overwhelmed, he can react aggressively. For this reason, he wears a muzzle to protect himself and others. He needs someone who shows him that he doesn't have to be in alarm mode all the time. When strangers come too close, he feels restricted and shows this clearly. Respect must be earned with patience and calmness, but once Connor trusts you, he is ready to be led. What Connor doesn't need: Stress, loud environment, and strangers who come too close put him under pressure. He needs time, space, and empathetic guidance. He cannot cope well with competition for attention, so a home where he receives exclusive attention is ideal for him. If you are ready to give Connor the time and respect he needs, come by and meet him! Contact us and Connor will be your loyal companion! 💚 Your donation is used purposefully and frugally.

, FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 Uhr _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler Ich bin gerne mit dir draußen unterwegs und habe viel Freude an der Bewegung. Gleichzeitig trägt meine geistige Fitness durch Such- und Denkspiele zu meinem Wohlbefinden bei. Das sagt Connor:Hallo, ich bin Connor – ein Charakterkopf mit Herz! Ich weiß, was ich will, und ich brauche jemanden mit Verantwortungsbewusstsein. Ich liebe Hunde unabhängig von Größe und Geschlecht. Aber Gewitter? Nein danke! Das bringt mein inneres Gleichgewicht ganz schön durcheinander. Trotz meines Alters habe ich noch richtig viel Kraft und brauche viel Bewegung. Ich liebe Such- und Denkspiele und würde mich freuen, wenn mein zukünftiger Besitzer mich damit geistig beschäftigt. Meine geheime Leidenschaft? Wasser und Schwimmen – vielleicht teilen wir diese zukünftig gemeinsam! Was Connor braucht: Connor benötigt erfahrene Hände, die mit seinem Selbstbewusstsein umgehen können, ihm Aufmerksamkeit schenken und ihm Vertrauen sowie Orientierung bieten. In Situationen, in denen er sich überfordert fühlt, kann er sich wehren. Aus diesem Grund trägt er einen Maulkorb, um sich und andere zu schützen. Er benötigt jemanden der ihm zeigt nicht immer in Alarmbereitschaft sein zu müssen. Wenn fremde Menschen ihm zu Nahe kommen, fühlt er sich eingeengt und zeigt dies deutlich. Respekt muss mit Geduld und Ruhe erarbeitet werden aber sobald Connor dir vertraut, ist er bereit dich führen zu lassen. Was Connor nicht braucht: Stress, laute Umgebung und fremde Menschen, die schnell zu nahe kommen setzen ihn unter Druck. Er braucht Zeit, Raum und einfühlsame Führung. Mit Konkurrenz um Aufmerksamkeit kann er nicht gut umgehen, daher ist ein Zuhause, in dem er die alleinige Zuwendung bekommt ideal für ihn. Wenn du bereit bist, Connor die Zeit und den Respekt zu schenken, die er braucht, dann komm vorbei und lerne ihn kennen! Melde dich und Connor wird dein treuer Begleiter! 💚 Ihre Spende wird zweckgemäß und sparsam eingesetzt. Bitte unterstützen Sie uns mit dem Kauf von Futterspenden!

About Connor

What life with Connor looks like

Connor is a medium-sized senior american staffordshire terrier 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.

Note from the shelter: Requires muzzle in certain situations, thunder phobia, needs space from strangers, requires patient and experienced handling

🇦🇹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.
