How do I contact the shelter about Goofy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Wolfsberg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Goofy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Goofy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Wolfsberg 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 Goofy 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 Goofy 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 Tierschutzverein Wolfsberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Goofy 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.

Goofy

Dachshund · Male · Senior · 10 years

Hello, I am Goofy. I am a dachshund mix - small, but with a big personality. I am a very special dog, one who is not always easy, but one who will stand by your side if you give me the right guidance. I need people who understand that I need time and clear rules. I do not like being cuddled or touched suddenly - it makes me feel insecure. My food is very important to me, and I will also defend it. But you know what? If you respect me and show me that everything has its place, I can learn to trust you. Outdoors, I am really happy to be on the go. I love walks, and I will obediently wear my muzzle - it gives me and you security. Other dogs or cats are not my friends, so I prefer to keep my distance. Children should not live in the same household with me either, because I need peace, structure, and people who can read me. I am looking for someone who will support me, who is consistent, loving, and patient. Someone who will give me security, routines, and will not try to change me but be ready to work with me. I am not a cuddly dog - but a loyal companion for people who understand my language. If you give me time and take me seriously, I will show you that a reliable, faithful friend lives within me.

Hallo, ich bin Goofy. Ich bin ein Dackelmix - klein, aber mit großem Charakter. Ich bin ein ganz besonderer Hund, einer, der nicht immer einfach ist, aber jemand, der treu an deiner Seite steht, wenn du mir die richtige Führung gibst. Ich brauche Menschen, die verstehen, dass ich Zeit und klare Regeln brauche. Kuscheln oder plötzliches Anfassen mag ich nicht - da fühle ich mich unsicher. Mein Futter ist mir sehr wichtig, und das möchte ich auch verteidigen. Aber weißt du was? Wenn du mich respektierst und mir zeigst, dass alles seinen Platz hat, kann ich lernen, dir zu vertrauen. Draußen bin ich richtig gerne unterwegs. Spaziergänge liebe ich, und meinen Maulkorb lasse ich brav anlegen - er gibt mir und dir Sicherheit. Andere Hunde oder Katzen gehören nicht zu meinen Freunden, da bleibe ich lieber auf Abstand. Auch Kinder sollten nicht mit mir in einem Haushalt leben, denn ich brauche Ruhe, Struktur und Menschen, die mich lesen können. Ich suche jemanden, der mich fördert, der konsequent, liebevoll und geduldig ist. Jemanden, der mir Sicherheit schenkt, mir Routinen gibt und mich nicht verändern will, sondern bereit ist, mit mir zu arbeiten. Ich bin kein Schmusehund - aber ein loyaler Begleiter für Menschen, die meine Sprache verstehen. Wenn du mir Zeit gibst und mich ernst nimmst, werde ich dir zeigen, dass in mir ein zuverlässiger, treuer Freund steckt.

About Goofy

What life with Goofy looks like

Goofy is a small senior dachshund dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Wolfsberg in Wolfsberg.

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.

🇦🇹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.
