Filou

Mixed Breed · Female

Filou ist ein 1,5 Jahre alter Herdenschutzhund-Mix mit einem sensiblen Wesen. Er versteht sich gut mit Hündinnen, bei Rüden entscheidet die Sympathie.Aufgrund mangelnder Sozialisierung in seiner Vergangenheit ist Filou fremden Menschen gegenüber sehr misstrauisch und unsicher. Er braucht viel Zeit, um Vertrauen aufzubauen, und sucht daher ein ruhiges Zuhause bei erfahrenen Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld, Konsequenz und klarer Führung Sicherheit geben. Er ist kein Hund für Anfänger.Filou ist intelligent und trifft gerne eigene Entscheidungen – eine typische Eigenschaft vieler Herdenschutzhunde. Zu seiner Bezugsperson baut er jedoch eine sehr enge Bindung auf und ist dann gut händelbar.Wegen mehrerer Beißvorfälle wird Filou nicht zu Kindern vermittelt. Ein Haus mit sicher eingezäuntem Garten ist Voraussetzung. Er ist sehr wachsam und übernimmt gerne die Aufgabe, sein Zuhause zu bewachen.Beim Spazierengehen zeigt Filou keine problematischen Verhaltensweisen und geht gerne schwimmen. In der Öffentlichkeit sowie in Situationen mit fremden Menschen muss er jedoch aus Sicherheitsgründen einen Maulkorb tragen.Für Filou suchen wir hundeerfahrene Menschen, die seine Bedürfnisse verstehen, ihm die nötige Zeit geben und bereit sind, mit ihm eine vertrauensvolle Beziehung aufzubauen. Wer sein Vertrauen gewinnt, erhält einen loyalen und eng verbundenen Begleiter.

About Filou

What life with Filou looks like

Filou is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Garteneden in Klagenfurt.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Filou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Filou?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Garteneden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Filou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Filou if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Garteneden 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 Filou 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 Filou 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 Garteneden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Filou 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.
