Hannelore

Chihuahua · Female · Adult · 8 years

Hannelore – our cute sloth Our 9-year-old Chihuahua mix female dog Hannelore needs people who give her time. She is initially aloof and reserved around strangers. Once she has gained trust, however, she shows her wonderful side: she is affectionate, clingy, and forms a strong bond with her caregiver. We are looking for a quiet home for Hannelore without small children or much commotion. With her familiar people, she gains security and moves through everyday life relaxed. Hannelore gets along well with calm, polite dogs – as long as they give her the necessary space and don't be pushy. She doesn't need to be a single princess, but would also appreciate a relaxed home without other dogs. With proper training, Hannelore can also stay alone for short periods. However, she would be happiest with people who spend a lot of time at home and give her the peace and security she so desperately needs. Who wants to give our little house sloth a cozy couch spot? Then please contact us at

Hannelore – unser niedliches Faultier Unsere 9-jährige Chihuahua-Mix-Hündin Hannelore braucht Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben. Fremden gegenüber ist sie zunächst distanziert und zurückhaltend. Hat sie jedoch Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt sie ihre wunderbare Seite: Sie ist verschmust, anhänglich und bindet sich eng an ihre Bezugsperson. Für Hannelore wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder und ohne viel Trubel. Bei ihren vertrauten Menschen gewinnt sie Sicherheit und bewegt sich entspannt im Alltag. Mit ruhigen, höflichen Hunden kommt Hannelore gut zurecht – solange sie ihr den nötigen Freiraum lassen und nicht aufdringlich sind. Sie muss also nicht Einzelprinzessin sein, würde sich aber auch über ein entspanntes Zuhause ohne weitere Hunde freuen. Mit einem guten Aufbau kann Hannelore auch gut alleine bleiben. Am glücklichsten wäre sie allerdings bei Menschen, die viel Zeit zu Hause verbringen und ihr die Ruhe und Geborgenheit schenken, die sie so sehr braucht. Wer möchte unserem kleinen Hausfaultier ein gemütliches Sofa Plätzchen schenken? Dann meldet euch gerne bei uns im

About Hannelore

What life with Hannelore looks like

Hannelore is a small adult chihuahua dog waiting at Tierschutzverein für Tirol in Innsbruck.

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 Hannelore, answered.

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