Adopt Karol

Mixed Breed · Unknown

The one-year-old Terrier-mix Karol originally came from a Tierschutz foster home and currently lives with a young family in a Vienna city apartment. Karol knows the basic commands, walks well on a leash, reliably responds to recall, knows some tricks, and shows cooperative behavior during handling measures (brushing, drying, tick removal, etc.). Karol loves nature walks where he can extensively sniff around. When it comes to contact with fellow animals, Karol decides based on his affinity, but he can also be led well by his primary caregiver. The clever Terrier mix is eager to learn, enjoys the proximity to his trusted people, cuddles, and likes to play. Karol is accustomed to wearing a muzzle, knows how to ride in a car, and can already be left alone for a short period (approximately 1-2 hours). Due to a recurring itching sensation, there is a suspicion of an allergy, which is currently being tested in cooperation with an animal clinic. In the past, Karol has shown aggression in the context of resources, mainly food, but also with objects and places. As there are now two small children in the current family, a new home for Karol is now being sought with great reluctance. Karol and the family are currently being supported by a behavior veterinarian and a dog trainer. He shows cooperative behavior during training and also takes well to spatial barriers like door grids as management measures. For Karol, a childless home, preferably as a single dog, on the outskirts of the city or in rural surroundings, is being sought. He is looking for people who can bring time, patience, and dog experience, are understanding and friendly, and can continue to be fair and needs-oriented, working with him on his challenges. Mail:

Der 1-jährige Terrier-Mischling Karol kommt ursprünglich von einer Tierschutz-Pflegestelle und lebt aktuell mit einer jungen Familie in einer Wiener Stadtwohnung. Karol kennt die Grundkommandos, läuft gut an der Leine, reagiert zuverlässig auf den Rückruf, kennt einige Tricks und zeigt sich kooperativ in Handling-Maßnahmen (bürsten, abtrocknen, Zecken ziehen etc.). Karol liebt Spaziergänge in der Natur in denen er ausgiebig schnüffeln darf. Bei Kontakt mit Artgenossen entscheidet die Sympathie, er lässt sich aber auch hier gut von seiner Bezugsperson führen. Der kluge Terrier-Mix ist lernbegierig, genießt die Nähe zu seinen Bezugspersonen, kuschelt und spielt gerne. Karol ist an den Maulkorb gewöhnt, kennt das Auto fahren und kann bereits über einen kürzeren Zeitraum (ca 1-2 Stunden) alleine bleiben. Aufgrund eines immer wieder auftretenden Juckreizes besteht der Verdacht einer Allergie, für die gerade in Zusammenarbeit mit einer Tierarztpraxis getestet wird. Karol hat in der Vergangenheit mehrmals Aggressionsverhalten im Kontext von Ressourcen gezeigt, v.a Futter, aber auch bei Gegenständen und Örtlichkeiten. Da es in der aktuellen Familie zwei kleine Kinder gibt, wird nun schweren Herzens nach einem neuen Zuhause für Karol gesucht. Karol und Familie werden momentan von einer Verhaltenstierärztin und einer Hundetrainerin begleitet. Er zeigt sich kooperativ im Training und nimmt auch räumliche Barrieren, wie z.b Türgitter als Management Maßnahmen gut an. Für Karol wird ein kinderloses Zuhause, bevorzugt als Einzelhund, am Stadtrand oder im ländlichen Umfeld, gesucht. Er ist auf der Suche nach Menschen die Zeit, Geduld und Hunde-Erfahrung mitbringen, verständnisvoll und freundlich sind und weiter fair und bedürfnisorientiert, mit ihm an seinen Schwierigkeiten arbeiten.

About Karol

What life with Karol looks like

Karol is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Spirit - Zentrum für Tiere in Not - Dr Franz-Joseph Plank in Klamm.

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; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Karol, answered.

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