How do I contact the shelter about Emily?

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

Can I adopt Emily if I live in another country?

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

Emily

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

At the animal shelter since: 05.04.2025, found in Marchtrenk. Children-friendly: no Compatible with other dogs: conditionally, but not in the same household, as she can become jealous quickly Cat-friendly: no Everyday suitability test (ATP): passed together with her caregiver Elina. Emily is a loving and cuddly female dog who is initially very mistrustful of strangers. She tends to nip and snap if given insufficient time to get to know someone. Once she trusts someone, she is a great and friendly companion. New owners should still bring patience and dog experience. Emily loves long walks and time with her human. If she trusts someone, she can also be a "big" cuddle mouse. Whether she gets along with children, we cannot say – this would need to be clarified directly with us. We assume, however, that children should definitely be older and bigger. Cats or other small animals should NOT live in the same household. With other dogs, Emily is conditionally compatible based on mutual liking, e.g., in the context of social walks – she still wants to be a solo princess. For Emily, we are looking for a quiet place where she can relax and be attended to with love for her needs.

DE·Show original

Im Tierheim seit: 05.04.2025, gefunden in Marchtrenk Kinderfreundlich: ja, ab Teenageralter Verträglich mit anderen Hunden: bedingt, aber nicht im selben Haushalt, da sie schnell eifersüchtig ist Katzenfreundlich: nein Gewicht: ca. 6 kg Alltagstauglichkeitsprüfung (ATP): bestanden gemeinsam mit ihrer Pflegerin Elina Emily ist eine liebe und verschmuste Hundedame, die anfänglich Fremden gegenüber sehr misstrauisch ist. Sie tendiert dann dazu, zu zwicken und zu schnappen, wenn man ihr nicht die nötige Zeit zum Kennenlernen gibt. Vertraut sie einem aber erst einmal, ist sie eine tolle und freundliche Wegbegleiterin. Neue Besitzer sollten dennoch Geduld und Hundeerfahrung mitbringen. Emily liebt lange Spaziergänge und Zeit mit ihrem Menschen. Wenn sie jemandem vertraut, ist sie auch eine "große" Kuschelmaus. Ob sie mit Kindern klar kommt, können wir nicht sagen - das müsste direkt bei uns abgeklärt werden. Wir gehen aber davon aus, dass Kinder definitiv schon größer und älter sein sollten. Katzen oder andere Kleintiere sollten NICHT im selben Haushalt leben. Mit anderen Hunden ist Emily nach Sympathie bedingt verträglich, z.B. im Rahmen von Social Walks - möchte dennoch Einzelprinzessin sein. Für Emily suchen wir einen ruhigen Platz, an dem sie zur Ruhe kommen kann und liebevoll auf ihre Bedürfnisse eingegangen wird.

About Emily

What life with Emily looks like

Emily is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Wels in Wels.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Initially distrustful of strangers, may nip or snap if not given time to adjust. Becomes jealous around other dogs. Needs patient, experienced owners.

🇦🇹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.
