How do I contact the shelter about Ely?

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

Can I adopt Ely 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 Ely 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 Ely 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 Ely 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.

Ely

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Birthdate: March 2018 Size: under knee-high Since in the animal shelter: March 2020 Children in the same household: no Home sought: Home with a garden, without children, without other animals, in the countryside The little, 2018-born mixed-breed female dog Ely was a very anxious female dog – now she only needs a short "run-in phase" with people to overcome her insecurity. Then she is friendly, allows herself to be approached, and will even put on a chest harness and muzzle. She also now likes to go for walks. But Ely is no cuddly dog, despite how cute she may look. She does not want to be hugged or pressed. For Ely, we are looking for a home in the countryside without children and without other animals, as she has not learned much in her previous life. "The most important thing to me: I am always hungry – and my caretakers also say I am demanding. That's why they think my future person must take the task seriously and pay attention to my figure. If I want something, I show it and bark – but I am definitely not demanding. My caretakers also think I need people who can give me peace and a quiet home where I can relax. Are you the person who can ignore my demands sometimes? I look forward to you!"

Geburtsdatum: März 2018 Größe: unter kniehoch Im Tierheim seit: März 2020 Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: Zuhause mit Garten, ohne Kinder, ohne andere Tiere, am Land Die kleine, 2018 geborene Mischlingshündin Ely war eine sehr ängstliche Hündin – mittlerweile benötigt sie bei Menschen nur noch eine kurze „Anlaufphase“, um ihre Unsicherheit zu überwinden. Dann ist sie freundlich, lässt sich angreifen und Brustgeschirr und Maulkorb anziehen. Mittlerweile geht sie auch schon gerne spazieren. Doch Ely ist kein Kuschelhund, so niedlich sie auch aussehen mag. Sie will weder umarmt, noch gedrückt werden. Für Ely suchen wir ein Zuhause am Land ohne Kinder und ohne andere Tiere, da sie in ihrem bisherigen Leben nicht viel kennen gelernt hat. „Das Wichtigste zu mir: ich bin immer hungrig – und meine Pfleger behaupten auch, ich wäre fordernd. Deshalb meinen sie, mein zukünftiger Mensch muss die Aufgabe ernst nehmen, und auf meine Figur achten. Wenn ich etwas möchte, dann zeige ich das und belle auch – aber fordernd bin ich ganz bestimmt nicht …. Auch meinen meine Pfleger, dass ich Menschen brauche, die mir Ruhe vermitteln und mir ein ruhiges Zuhause schenken, wo ich ´runterkommen kann. Bist du der Mensch, der es schafft, mein Fordern auch mal zu ignorieren? Dann freue ich mich auf dich!“

About Ely

What life with Ely looks like

Ely 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.
