Jessy

Australian Shepherd · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Jessy is one of the older dogs at Sonnenhof, but she still enjoys typical breed activities and wants to continue being stimulated. She is very loyal to her family and loves being pampered with lots of petting. She gets along well with other dogs depending on their personalities. Jessy is looking for a new home where she can continue to be supported in a way that's appropriate for her breed.

DE·Show original

Jessy zählt zwar bereits zu den älteren Semestern im Sonnenhof, die freundliche Hundedame erfreut sich rassetypisch aber an gemeinsamen geistigen und körperlichen Aktivitäten und möchte weiterhin gefördert werden. Sie zeigt sich ihrer Familie gegenüber überaus loyal und genießt es, mit ausgiebigen Streicheleinheiten verwöhnt zu werden. Mit Artgenossen ist sie je nach Sympathie verträglich. Jessy ist auf der Suche nach einem neuen Zuhause, in dem sie weiterhin rassegerecht gefördert wird.

About Jessy

What life with Jessy looks like

Jessy is a senior australian shepherd dog waiting at Tierschutzhaus Sonnenhof in Eisenstadt.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jessy, answered.

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