JOKER

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Cute mixed breed hopes for the right people. The handsome large male dog had to eke out an existence in a completely neglected household before coming to us. He is initially a bit shy around unfamiliar people. Once he builds trust (which happens relatively quickly), he shows his very charming and open side. We are therefore looking for people who can offer JOKER a quiet environment away from the city, are patient, and can provide him with security. He will only be rehomed into a rural home with an enclosed garden. A confident friendly female dog in the same household would be a good possibility, but is not a must. Potential adopters should also bring a measure of athleticism for thorough nature walks.

DE·Show original

Hübscher Mischling hofft auf die richtigen Menschen. Der hübsche große Rüde musste in einem völlig verwahrlosen Haushalt sein Dasein fristen, bevor er zu uns kam. Er ist fremden Menschen gegenüber anfangs etwas schüchtern. Hat er einmal Vertrauen gefasst (was relativ schnell geht), zeigt er sich von seiner sehr liebenswerten und aufgeschlossenen Seite. Wir suchen deshalb Menschen, die Joker ein ruhiges Umfeld abseits der Großstadt bieten können, geduldig sind und ihm Sicherheit geben. Er wird ausschließlich in ein ländliches Zuhause mit eingezäuntem Garten vermittelt. Eine souveräne freundliche Hündin im selben Haushalt wäre gut vorstellbar, ist aber kein Muss. Mitbringen sollten Interessenten auch ein Maß an Sportlichkeit für ausgiebige Spaziergänge in der Natur.

About JOKER

What life with JOKER looks like

JOKER is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Krems in Krems an der Donau.

An young 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.

🇦🇹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 JOKER, answered.

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