Gaby

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

A sensitive and patient person is needed for Gaby, a 2018-born mixed breed dog. Gaby is very sensitive and needs time to get to know people before she can overcome her shyness and build trust. She is well-behaved around other dogs. Gaby is not yet familiar with a harness and cannot be walked on a leash. She is not used to being petted and does not allow it - if she is pushed, she will defend herself. Gaby is house-trained but is skeptical. We are looking for a home for Gaby in the countryside, preferably a house with a garden. Having a second dog to provide security would be an advantage.

„Suche einfühlsame Menschen mit Geduld Geburtsdatum: April 2018 Größe: knapp unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: am Land, Haus mit Garten, ev. zu Zweithund Die schüchterne, 2018 geborene Mischlingshündin Gaby ist sehr feinfühlig und benötigt bei Menschen eine Kennenlernphase, um ihre Unsicherheit zu überwinden und Vertrauen aufzubauen. Mit anderen Hunden ist Gaby gut verträglich. Die sensible Hündin kennt noch kein Brustgeschirr und kann daher auch noch nicht an der Leine spazieren geführt werden. Angreifen und streicheln kennt Gaby noch nicht und lässt es daher auch noch nicht zu – wird sie bedrängt, so verteidigt sie sich auch. Gaby ist bei uns stubenrein, zeigt sich eher skeptisch. Für Gaby suchen wir ein Zuhause am Land in Form von Haus mit Garten. Ein Zweithund, der ihr Sicherheit gibt, wäre ev. von Vorteil.“

About Gaby

What life with Gaby looks like

Gaby is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Austria in Vienna.

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; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gaby, answered.

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