How do I contact the shelter about Isra?

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

Can I adopt Isra if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Dornbirn 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 Isra 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 Isra 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 Dornbirn early rather than rehoming privately; they know Isra 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.

Isra

Female · 1 year

With her friendly, cuddly nature, this young female has won everyone over. Isra hasn't experienced much in life yet and is very insecure in new situations. Breed-typically, this behavior is amplified - the Kangal feels most comfortable in familiar surroundings and shows dominant, territorial behavior there. Everything new is initially difficult for our little 'hero'. The pronounced protective instinct is also typical for Kangals, causing dogs to behave distantly to mistrustfully toward strangers and other dogs. However, this young female is very open and much can still be worked on with her. She has already made many friends among the shelter staff. Isra needs a home with a large, securely fenced property where she can fulfill her breed-specific duties and gain security. She is a totally sensitive and gentle female who is content when she can do her job and guard her home. Extensive cuddle sessions are a must with her!

Unsichere Heldin sucht starke Menschen an ihrer Seite 😍 Mit ihrer freundlichen, verschmusten Art hat uns die junge Hündin direkt alle um den Finger gewickelt. Isra hat bisher in Ihrem Leben noch nicht viel kennengelernt und ist deshalb in neuen Situationen sehr unsicher. Rassetypisch wird dieses Verhalten verstärkt, der Kangal fühlt sich in seiner gewohnten Umgebung am wohlsten und zeigt sich dort dominant und stark territorial. Alles, was neu ist, ist für unsere kleine „Heldin“ erst mal schwierig. Zur kangaltypischen Besonderheit gehört auch der ausgeprägte Schutztrieb. Dieser sorgt dafür, dass sich die Hunde Fremden und Artgenossen gegenüber distanziert bis misstrauisch verhalten. Die junge Hündin ist jedoch sehr offen und es lässt sich hier noch einiges mit ihr arbeiten. Sie hat sich in der Zeit im Tierheim jedenfalls schon eine Menge an Menschen zum Freund gemacht 😊. Isra wünscht sich ein Zuhause mit einem großen, sicher eingezäunten Grundstück, wo sie ihrer rassebedingten Aufgaben nachgehen kann und noch etwas Sicherheit bekommt. Isra ist eine total sensible und feine Hündin ❤️. Sie ist zufrieden, wenn sie ihrem Job nachgehen und ihr Zuhause bewachen darf. Ausgiebige Kuscheleinheiten dürfen bei ihr aber nicht fehlen 😉!

About Isra

What life with Isra looks like

Isra is a large adult dog waiting at Tierheim Dornbirn in Dornbirn.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Needs large, securely fenced property; requires patient training due to insecurity with new situations

🇦🇹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.
