Keanu

Male · Young · 2 years

This is how his previous home describes him: He needs firm leadership on walks, unfortunately keeps asking who is in charge, and pulls strongly toward unfamiliar dogs. Unfortunately, he is not at all compatible with small dogs, and he is not 100% safe with children (strong caution advised). He needs a lot of mental stimulation. He is house-trained for up to 7 hours. If he is not sufficiently exercised, he may tear things apart when left alone at home.

DE·Show original

So beschreibt ihn das bisherige Zuhause:Braucht starke Führung beim Spazieren gehen, fragt leider immer wieder nach wer das Sagen hat und zieht stark zu fremden Hunden hin. Mit kleinen Hunden leider gar nicht verträglich und auch nicht 100% sicher bei Kindern (große Skepsis). Braucht viel Beschäftigung im Kopf. Ist bis zu 7 Stunden stubenrein. Wenn er zu wenig ausgelastet ist, kann es passieren, dass er Sachen zerlegt, wenn er alleine Zuhause ist.

About Keanu

What life with Keanu looks like

Keanu is a large young adult dog waiting at Tierzuflucht in Austria.

A 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Keanu, answered.

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