FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 Uhr _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler I still have fears that affect my physical and emotional well-being. Please give me an environment where I can feel safe and secure. Here’s what Falco has to say: “I was found in the forest—tied up and all alone. That wasn’t a nice time for me. Now I’m at TiKo and slowly trying to regain trust. It might take a little time at first, but I really like people and enjoy being around them, so I’m optimistic and putting in a lot of effort! What Falco needs: Time, patience, and a calm environment to find peace. A stable home with understanding people who have experience with sensitive dogs or are willing to learn how to handle them. Clear routines, few distractions, and close proximity will give Falco a sense of security. Ideally, people who can spend plenty of time with him and don’t have to leave him alone for long periods would be perfect. What Falco doesn’t need: Haste, frequent changes, a loud environment, or pressure. A stressful daily routine or prolonged periods of solitude would overwhelm Falco. If you’d like to get to know Falco and can provide him with the peace and security he needs, he’ll be thrilled to meet you! :-) Your donation will be used purposefully and efficiently.

FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 Uhr Ich habe noch Ängste, die mein körperliches und emotionales Wohlbefinden beeinflussen. Schenke mir ein Umfeld, in dem ich mich sicher und geborgen fühlen kann. Das sagt Falco:Ich wurde im Wald gefunden – angebunden und allein. Das war keine schöne Zeit für mich. Jetzt bin ich im TiKo und versuche langsam wieder Vertrauen zu fassen. Das kann Anfangs ein bisschen dauern, aber ich mag Menschen und bin gerne in ihrer Nähe, deshalb bin ich optimistisch und gebe mir echt Mühe! Was Falco braucht:Zeit, Geduld und ein ruhiges Umfeld, um zur Ruhe zu kommen. Ein stabiles Zuhause mit verständnisvollen Menschen, die Erfahrung mit sensiblen Hunden haben oder bereit sind, sich darauf einzulassen. Klare Strukturen, wenig Reize und Nähe geben Falco Sicherheit. Menschen, die viel Zeit für ihn haben und ihn nicht lange alleine lassen müssen, wären ideal. Was Falco nicht braucht:Hektik, häufige Wechsel, laute Umgebung oder Druck. Ein stressiger Alltag oder langes Alleinsein würden Falco überfordern. Wenn du Falco kennenlernen möchtest und ihm die Ruhe und Sicherheit geben kannst, die er braucht, freut er sich auf dich! :-) Ihre Spende wird zweckgemäß und sparsam eingesetzt.

About Falco

What life with Falco looks like

Falco is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum in Klagenfurt.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Anxiety and trust issues requiring patient, experienced handlers

🇦🇹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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Falco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Falco?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Falco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Falco if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Falco 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 Falco 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 TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum early rather than rehoming privately; they know Falco 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.
