How do I contact the shelter about Damon?

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

Can I adopt Damon if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Wiener Tierschutzverein 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 Damon 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 Damon 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 Wiener Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Damon 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.

Adopt Damon

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Damon – born May 2021 – 240928 Rohdiamant seeks a Feinschliff home. Gender: male, neutered. Date of birth: May 2021. In the animal shelter since: November 2021. Gets along with dogs: yes, depending on the relationship. Gets along with cats: no. Children in the same household: no. Home sought: with people who have experience with dogs, a quiet, ground-floor home without children and without other animals, in the countryside. The young, friendly mixed-breed male dog Damon is blind in one eye and can barely see with the other! Therefore, he is quickly overwhelmed by environmental stimuli and tends to scratch as a result. Therefore, Damon is looking for people with dog experience who can offer him a quiet, ground-floor home without children and without other animals in the countryside, possibly alongside an older, more independent dog – this would have to be decided on a case-by-case basis! "I have unfortunately been waiting in the animal shelter for a long time and wish for a home. Most people look away because I can't see … this is very sad for me because I think I also deserve a chance! I am also house-trained indoors and walk nicely on a leash. Are you such a sensitive person who can give me a disability-friendly home?"

Damon – geb. Mai 2021 – 240928 Rohdiamant sucht Feinschliff“ Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Mai 2021 Im Tierheim seit: Nov. 2021 Mit Hunden verträglich: nach Sympathie Mit Katzen verträglich: nein Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: bei Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, ruhiges, ebenerdiges Zuhause ohne Kinder und ohne andere Tiere, im ländlichen Raum Der junge, freundliche Mischlingsrüde Damon ist auf einem Auge blind, auf dem zweiten Auge sieht er kaum etwas! Daher ist er mit Umweltreizen rasch überfordert und neigt dadurch zum Zwicken. Daher sucht Damon Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, die ihm ein ruhiges, ebenerdiges Zuhause ohne Kinder und ohne andere Tiere im ländlichen Raum bieten können, ev. an der Seite eines älteren souveränen Hundes – dies müsste man im Einzelfall entscheiden! „Ich warte leider schon lange im Tierheim und wünsche mir endlich ein Zuhause. Die meisten Menschen sehen weg, weil ich nichts sehe …. Das ist für mich sehr traurig, denn ich denke, dass ich auch eine Chance verdient habe! Ich bin auch indoor stubenrein und gehe brav an der Leine. Sind Sie so ein feinfühliger Mensch, der mir ein behindertengerechtes Zuhause schenken kann?““

About Damon

What life with Damon looks like

Damon is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Wiener Tierschutzverein in Vienna.

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.

Note from the shelter: Nearly blind in both eyes - blind in one eye and barely sees with the other. Tends to nip when overwhelmed by environmental stimuli. Needs quiet, single-level home in rural area.

🇦🇹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.
