How do I contact the shelter about JUSSI?

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 JUSSI on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt JUSSI 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 JUSSI 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 JUSSI 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 JUSSI 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.

Adopt JUSSI

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 7 years

Nature Boy is seeking athletic owners for fun activities. JUSSI was rehomed by a reputable breeder, unfortunately, this place didn't suit JUSSI at all and JUSSI came to us at the animal shelter via an indirect route. JUSSI is a Nature Boy, enjoys movement, likes to go for car rides, and gets along with most dogs. He loves to search for his dummy and learns quickly. Despite all his talents, he struggles to find his lifelong companion because he doesn't fit the ideal image of the Labrador family dog stereotype. JUSSI needs time to accept someone and also a space in his new home where he can retreat to when there are visitors or it gets too loud. He is absolutely not suitable for a family with children. An ideal home would be a quiet one with a garden, belonging to a single, athletic nature lover who is willing to spend a longer period of time at the animal shelter to win JUSSI's heart. Once he has opened his heart to someone, JUSSI becomes a devoted, loyal companion with whom one can have a lot of fun. And he brings a lot to the relationship, can be unleashed in the open without a leash, masters several basic commands, and can also be left alone for some time. JUSSI is searching for his very special, wonderful lifelong companion, as wonderful and unique as he is himself.

Naturbursche sucht sportliche Besitzer für tolle Aktivitäten. Jussi wurde von einem seriösen Züchter vermittelt, leider passte dieser Platz überhaupt nicht und Jussi kam über Umwege zu uns ins Tierheim. Jussi ist ein Naturbursche, hat Spaß an Bewegung, fährt gerne mit dem Auto mit und verträgt sich auch mit den meisten Hunden. Er liebt es, sein Dummy zu suchen und lernt schnell. Trotz aller Talente ist er ein Hund, der es nicht leicht hat, seinen Lebensmenschen zu finden. Denn er entspricht nicht der Idealvorstellung des Labrador-Familienhund-Klischees. Jussi braucht zum einen seine Zeit, um jemanden zu akzeptieren und zum anderen in seinem neuen Zuhause einen Bereich, in den er sich zurückziehen kann. Etwa, wenn Besuch kommt oder es zu laut ist. Für einen Kinderhaushalt ist er absolut nicht geeignet. Ideal wäre ein ruhiges Zuhause bei einer/einem alleinstehenden sportlichen NaturfreundIn mit Garten, die/der bereit ist, über einen längeren Zeitraum zu uns ins Tierheim zu kommen, um Jussi´s Herz zu erobern. Wen er in sein Herz geschlossen hat, dem ist Jussi ein anhänglicher, treuer und loyaler Gefährte, mit dem man jede Menge Spaß haben kann. Und er bringt auch vieles mit, kann ohne Leine im Freilauf unterwegs sein, beherrscht etliche Grundkommandos und kann auch für einige Zeit alleine bleiben. Jussi sucht seinen ganz speziellen, wunderbaren Lebensmenschen, so wunderbar und besonders wie er selbst.

About JUSSI

What life with JUSSI looks like

JUSSI is a large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Krems in Krems an der Donau.

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.

🇦🇹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.
