How do I contact the shelter about DAGOBERT?

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

Can I adopt DAGOBERT if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Krems 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 DAGOBERT 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 DAGOBERT 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 Krems early rather than rehoming privately; they know DAGOBERT 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.

DAGOBERT

Male · Adult · 8 years

Dagobert is a friendly and affectionate dog who is looking for his forever home. He is very reserved around strangers but quickly forms friendships during walks. He is well-behaved on a leash, enjoys car rides, is generally good with other dogs, and is familiar with cats. He does well alone during the day at the foster home but sometimes doesn't like being alone at night. He loves being outside, going for walks, and spending time in the garden or meadow with his owner. He is also a water lover and enjoys swimming. Unfortunately, he has some issues with his musculoskeletal system and requires pain medication, joint supplements, and moderate exercise. He has a food allergy and is currently on a hypoallergenic diet. A future elimination diet can be done to determine what he can and cannot eat. He is currently overweight and undermuscled but is getting better every day and can already run medium distances. He can currently not jump into the car but will climb over the ramp. An abdominal ultrasound was completely normal. His fur was matted down to the skin and had to be shaved, so he needs to be brushed several times a week to prevent matting. He is looking for a ground-level home with loving people, preferably seniors with dog experience. His foster mom can provide information about his breed characteristics. Animals can already live with you, but children should be teenagers. Would you like to give him a home? Please contact me!

Mein Name ist Dagobert. Im Zuge einer behördlichen Abnahme kam ich ins Tierheim. Ich durfte sehr rasch auf eine Pflegestelle ausziehen, suche aber immer noch mein Für-immer-Zuhause! Ich bin ein sehr freundlicher und bei vertrauten Personen auch verschmuster Hund. Rassetypisch bin ich fremden Menschen gegenüber sehr reserviert, schließe aber bei gemeinsamen Spaziergängen sehr schnell Freundschaften. Mit meiner Hauptbezugsperson gehe ich durch Dick und Dünn. Ich gehe brav an der Leine, fahre entspannt mit dem Auto mit, bin gut mit den meisten anderen Hunden verträglich und kenne Katzen. Alleine bleiben klappt auf der Pflegestelle untertags sehr gut, Abends möchte ich manchmal nicht alleine bleiben. Ich bin gerne draußen und gehe gerne spazieren, außerdem verbringe ich gerne Zeit im Garten oder genieße es mit meiner Bezugsperson in der Wiese zu sitzen. Außerdem bin ich eine richtige Wasserratte und gehe gerne planschen und schwimmen. Gesundheitlich bringe ich leider einige Baustellen mit meinem Bewegungsapparat mit. Ich benötige Schmerzmittel, Gelenkszusätze und moderate Bewegung. Rassebedingt bringe ich eine Futtermittelallergie mit und bekomme derzeit hypoallergenes Futter. Zukünftig kann man im Zuge einer Ausschlussdiät schauen was ich vertrage und was nicht. Derzeit bin ich noch etwas zu dick und schlecht bemuskelt, tu mir aber von Tag zu Tag leichter und schaffe schon mittelgroße Runden. Ins Auto springen schaffe ich derzeit noch nicht, steige aber brav über die Rampe ein. Ein Bauchschall war absolut unauffällig. Mein Fell war leider bis auf die Haut verfilzt und musste abgeschoren werden, zukünftig muss ich mehrmals wöchentlich gebürstet werden um ein erneutes Verfilzen zu verhindern. Ich suche ein ebenerdiges bei lieben Menschen, gerne auch Senioren, die schon Hundeerfahrung mitbringen. Meine Pflegemama klärt gerne über die rassetypischen Eigenschaften auf. Gerne können schon Tiere bei dir wohnen, Kinder sollten schon im Teenageralter sein. Willst du mir ein Plätzchen schenken?Bitte melde dich! Victoria Bischof

About DAGOBERT

What life with DAGOBERT looks like

DAGOBERT is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Tierheim Krems in Krems an der Donau.

An 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.
