Gino

Chihuahua · Male · Adult · 8 years

Chihuahua Mischling nicht kastrierter Rüde, geb. 2018 Höhe: 25 cm | Gewicht: 5 kg Kinder: unbekannt | Katzen: unbekannt | Hunde: ja geimpft | gechipt vergabefrei Dieses Tier kann bei passendem Platz nach ausreichendem Kennenlernen adoptiert werden. Gino ist ein ca. 2018 geborener kleiner Mischlings-Rüde, der als Fundhund zu uns ins Tierheim gekommen ist. Er ist ein netter, offener und gemütlicher kleiner Kerl, der entspannt durchs Leben geht. Er zeigt sich mit Hunden, egal ob Hündinnen oder Rüden, recht sozial und umgänglich. Der kleine Prinz ist hier ein bisschen mäkelig bei der Auswahl seiner Mahlzeit, grundsätzlich verträgt er aber jede Art von Futter. Er geht brav an der Leine und marschiert gerne seine gemütlichen Runden. Bei Gino`s tierärztlicher Eingangsuntersuchung wurde festgestellt, dass seine Kniescheiben – wie leider bei vielen Kleinhunde-Rassen – locker sitzen (Patellaluxation). Im Tierheim zeigte er bislang keine Lahmheiten oder andere Probleme, Interessenten werden aber natürlich darüber aufgeklärt. Weiters wurde ein Herzgeräusch festgestellt und per Herz-Ultraschall abgeklärt, Gino benötigt Herzmedikamente. Trotz seiner Baustellen geht er aber unbekümmert durchs Leben und sehnt sich nach einem guten Zuhause.

About Gino

What life with Gino looks like

Gino is a small adult chihuahua 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 Gino, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gino?
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 Gino on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gino 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 Gino 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 Gino 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 Gino 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.
