Ferdinand

Cane Corso · Male · Young · 1 year

Intact male dog, Cane Corso Italiano, born 10/2024, height: 66 cm | weight: 48 kg children: yes, see text | cats: unknown | dogs: by sympathy vaccinated | microchipped available for adoption This animal can be adopted after sufficient getting to know each other, provided there is suitable space. Ferdinand is a male Cane Corso Italiano born in October 2024, who was handed over to the animal shelter by the owner for personal reasons. He lived with his owners in a rural area since he was young, spending most of his time in the garden recently. There were 4 children in the family (between 3 and 11 years old), with whom he regularly had contact. He shows himself to be at least friendly but boisterous with female dogs here on the farm and according to the previous owner, he is generally compatible with other animals. He is an open, friendly, although currently still very boisterous, nice guy. Unfortunately, his training has been somewhat neglected so far, but he is easily motivated and shows effort. We are currently working on his leash training. He goes where he wants and it is difficult to stop him due to his weight and strength. Potential new owners should be aware of his strength. According to the previous owner, he is house-trained and can stay alone for an appropriate period of time, but he had continuous access to the garden. Therefore, being alone in the house should be practiced a bit and not taken for granted. We are looking for patient people who can also handle him physically, preferably in a rural environment (ideally with a garden). Gets along with other dogs.

Cane Corso Italiano nicht kastrierter Rüde, geb. 10/2024 Höhe: 66 cm | Gewicht: 48 kg Kinder: ja, siehe Text | Katzen: unbekannt | Hunde: nach Sympathie geimpft | gechipt vergabefrei Dieses Tier kann bei passendem Platz nach ausreichendem Kennenlernen adoptiert werden. Ferdinand ist ein im Oktober 2024 geborener Cane Corso Italiano Rüde, der aus persönlichen Gründen der Besitzer im Tierheim abgegeben worden ist. Er lebte von klein an bei seinen Besitzern in ländlicher Gegend, wobei er die letzte Zeit hauptsächlich im Garten verbracht hat. In der Familie lebten 4 Kinder (von 3 bis 11 Jahren), zu denen er auch regelmäßig Kontakt hatte. Er zeigt sich bei uns am Hof zumindest mit Hündinnen nett aber stürmisch und ist auch laut Vorbesitzer grundsätzlich gut verträglich mit Artgenossen. Er ist ein aufgeschlossener, freundlicher, wenn auch aktuell noch sehr stürmischer, netter Kerl. Bis dato wurde die Erziehung leider ein wenig vernachlässigt, aber er zeigt sich leicht motivierbar und bemüht. Wir arbeiten gerade an seiner Leinenführigkeit. Aktuell geht er dort hin, wo er hin möchte und man kann ihn aufgrund seines Gewichts und seiner Kraft auch nur mit Mühe davon abhalten. Potenzielle neue Besitzer sollten sich bitte über seine Kraft im Klaren sein. Laut Vorbesitzer ist er brav stubenrein und kann eine angemessene Zeit alleine bleiben, jedoch hatte er durchgehend Zugang zum Garten. Das Alleinbleiben im Haus sollte demnach ein bisschen geübt werden und nicht als selbstverständlich angesehen werden. Wir suchen für ihn geduldige Menschen, die ihm auch körperlich standhalten können, vorzugsweise im ländlichen Umfeld (im besten Fall mit Garten).

About Ferdinand

What life with Ferdinand looks like

Ferdinand is a small young adult cane corso cat waiting at Tierheim Dechanthof in Mistelbach.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇦🇹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 Ferdinand, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ferdinand?
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 Ferdinand on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ferdinand 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 Ferdinand already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats 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 Ferdinand 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 Ferdinand 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.
