How do I contact the shelter about Freya und Buddy?

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 Freya und Buddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Freya und Buddy 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Freya und Buddy 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 Freya und Buddy 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 Freya und Buddy 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.

, FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 Uhr _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler I have not seen much in my life. Support me at a slow pace so I can build trust. It's the small steps that help me find my place in everyday life and become part of your family. This say Freya und Buddy:Hello, we are Freya und Buddy and we are only in Double Back! Together we went through a tough time… because for years we lived without a run between mountains of trash, often without food. This time bonded us very closely. I am Freya, the smaller, lighter, and more fearful one. Buddy is like a big brother to me, because he watches over me. Together we are a perfect team – timid hare and daredevil. What Freya und Buddy need: A home that has patience, gives love, and shows tolerance for small insecurities. Because they never learned the dog ABC. An ideal place would be a safe spot where they can grow old together – with walks, cuddle times, and loving guidance. For their already very high age, they are still very active and would be the perfect dogs for a comfortable and sometimes exciting everyday life. What Freya und Buddy don't need: Noise, stress, and separation. If you haven't fallen in love with their doggy eyes yet, come by and take a walk together. Freya und Buddy are already waiting for you and will do everything they can to win your heart! 💚 A post shared by TiKo - Tierverschutz Kärnten () Your donation will be used appropriately and frugally.

, FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 Uhr _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler Ich habe in meinem Leben noch nicht viel gesehen. Unterstütze mich in einem langsamen Tempo, damit ich Vertrauen fassen kann. Es sind die kleinen Schritte, dir mir helfen mich im Alltag einzufinden und Teil deiner Familie zu werden. Das sagen Freya und Buddy:Hallo, wir sind Freya und Buddy und uns gibt es nur im Doppelback! Gemeinsam gingen wir durch eine harte Zeit… denn jahrelang lebten wir ohne Auslauf zwischen Müllbergen, oft ohne Futter. Diese Zeit hat uns sehr zusammengeschweißt. Ich bin Freya, die kleinere, hellere und ängstlichere. Buddy ist wie ein großer Bruder für mich, denn er passt auf mich auf. Zu zweit sind wir ein perfektes Team –Angsthase und Draufgänger. Was Freya und Buddy brauchen: Ein Zuhause, das Geduld hat, Liebe schenkt und Nachsicht mit kleinen Unsicherheiten zeigt. Denn das Hunde ABC haben sie nie gelernt. Ideal wäre ein sicherer Ort, an dem sie gemeinsam alt werden dürfen – mit Spaziergängen, Kuschelzeiten und liebevoller Führung. Für das schon sehr hohe Alter sind sie immer noch sehr aktiv und wären die perfekten Hunde für einen gemütlichen und manchmal auch aufregenden Alltag. Was Freya und Buddy nicht brauchen: Lärm, Stress und Trennung all diese Dinge brauchen sie nicht. Wenn du dich nicht gleich in ihre Hundeblicke verliebt hast, dann komm vorbei und unternimmt einen gemeinsamen Spaziergang. Freya und Buddy warten bereits auf dich und werden sich alle Mühe geben sich in dein Herz zu kämpfen! 💚 Ein Beitrag geteilt von TiKo - Tierschutz Kärnten () Ihre Spende wird zweckgemäß und sparsam eingesetzt.

About Freya und Buddy

What life with Freya und Buddy looks like

Freya und Buddy is a large senior american staffordshire terrier 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: Bonded pair that must be adopted together. Need patient owners due to lack of basic training and fearful nature from past neglect.

🇦🇹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.
