Din

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Male, neutered, born February 2018, dog-friendly: yes, children in the household: no, looking for a home: in the countryside, house with garden, with a smaller second dog. The shy, 2018-born mixed-breed male Din is very sensitive and needs an introduction period with people and dogs to overcome his insecurity and build trust. Din is afraid of large dogs. The shy fellow now knows the harness and walks nicely on a leash - at the side of a small second dog. Din is house-trained. When meeting strangers, he "freezes", meaning he stands still, doesn't move and waits until the stranger has passed, then he dares to move on. We are looking for a home in the countryside in the form of a house with a garden and at the side of a smaller second dog, who can give him the necessary security.

DE·Show original

Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Februar 2018 Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: am Land, Haus mit Garten, bei kleinerem Zweithund Der schüchterne, 2018 geborene Mischlingsrüde Din ist sehr feinfühlig und benötigt bei Menschen und Hunden eine Kennenlernphase, um seine Unsicherheit zu überwinden und Vertrauen aufzubauen. Vor großen Hunden fürchtet sich Din. Mittlerweile kennt der schüchterne Kerl das Brustgeschirr und geht brav an der Leine – an der Seite eines kleinen Zweithundes. Din ist stubenrein. Bei Begegnungen mit fremden Menschen „freezt“ er, sprich bleibt stehen, rührt sich nicht und wartet ab bis der Fremde vorbei ist, dann traut er sich weiter. Für das kleine schüchterne Lämmchen im Hundekörper suchen wir ein Zuhause am Land in Form von Haus mit Garten und an der Seite eines kleineren Zweithundes, der ihm die nötige Sicherheit geben kann.“

About Din

What life with Din looks like

Din is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Austria 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.

🇦🇹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 Din, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Din?
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 Din on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Din 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 Din 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 Din 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 Din 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.
