Jenny

German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 7 years

Jenny is a 4-year-old female German Shepherd. She was kept in a very small pen by her previous owner and has developed stereotypies. Jenny spins in circles and bites her tail. This behavior has improved significantly with us, but if she is put in a stressful situation, it may reappear. Jenny walks calmly on a leash and is very people-oriented. She does not like cats. She is very vigilant. For Jenny, we are looking for a quiet place. A house with a garden in a rural area. The new owner should be experienced with dogs and be able to deal with the stereotypy.

About Jenny

What life with Jenny looks like

Jenny is an adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Parndorf in Austria.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jenny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jenny?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Parndorf handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jenny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jenny if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Parndorf 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Jenny 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 Jenny 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 Parndorf early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jenny 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.
