Elvis

Maltese · Male · Young · 2 years

Malteser nicht kastrierter Rüde, geb. 2024 Höhe: 25 cm | Gewicht: 4,5 kg Kinder: ja | Katzen: unbekannt | Hunde: ja geimpft | gechipt vergabefrei Dieses Tier kann bei passendem Platz nach ausreichendem Kennenlernen adoptiert werden. Elvis ist ein ca. 2024 geborener Malteser-Rüde, der durch seine Besitzer abgegeben wurde. Er lebte im ländlichen Bereich mit Kindern (1, 3 und 8 Jahre alt) gemeinsam im Haushalt. Der kleine Rüde dürfte nicht viel kennengelernt haben, geht aber offen und neugierig auf Menschen und neue Situationen zu. Mit Hunden ist er recht unerfahren und ein bisschen zu aufdringlich, er bleibt aber immer freundlich und geht Konflikten eher aus dem Weg. Er bleibt laut Vorbesitzer eine angemessene Zeit brav alleine, wobei wir vermuten, dass er die meiste Zeit im Garten verbracht hat. Bei uns im Tierheim zeigt er sich einigermaßen brav stubenrein, neue Besitzer müssten ihm aber anfänglich unter Umständen ein paar Fehltritte verzeihen. Elvis geht brav an der Leine, seine Erziehung benötigt aber sicher noch ein wenig Feinschliff und Alltagstraining. Da Elvis bei seiner Aufnahme im Tierheim stark verfilzt und sehr ungepflegt war, wurde er komplett geschoren und gebadet.

About Elvis

What life with Elvis looks like

Elvis is a young adult maltese dog waiting at Tierheim Dechanthof in Mistelbach.

An young 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 Elvis, answered.

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