How do I contact the shelter about Lari?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz Austria handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lari on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lari if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Austria 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 Lari 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 Lari 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 Tierschutz Austria early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lari 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.

Lari

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

"Piece of everything – I am cuddly, playful, a watch dog" Breed: Tornjak-mixed breed Gender: male, neutered Date of birth: March 2017 Height: under knee-high In the animal shelter since: June 2022 Gets along with dogs: okay with calm dogs Gets along with cats: unknown Children in the same household: starting from teenage age Home sought: with a garden in the countryside The quiet Lari is blind, so the sweet guy is very cautious. Therefore, he should have maximum contact with calm dogs, but he does not really seek out contact. The charming guy needs a short getting-to-know-you phase with strangers to build trust. Lari knows indoor spaces, is house-trained, and rides politely in the car. Lari had to spend his previous life on a leash and could not learn much – this, and his blindness, make him stressed by things that move quickly (vehicles, but also quick movements of his trusted people). We are looking for a home without young children with a garden in the countryside for Lari! "I need some time to get to know you at first, as I can only smell and hear you but hardly see you. Therefore, a quiet home would be optimal for me so I am not overwhelmed by stimuli. I walk politely on the leash, after all, I have to mostly feel my way forward slowly … But I still love to play and cuddle once I am familiar with you. I am a little watch dog, of course, too ;-) Are you looking for such a mix? Then contact us to get to know me! "

„Von allem ein Stück – ich bin verschmust, verspielt, ein Wachhund“ Rasse: Tornjak-Mischling Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: März 2017 Größe: unter kniehoch Im Tierheim seit: Juni 2022 Mit Hunden verträglich: ruhige Hunde ok Mit Katzen verträglich: unbekannt Kinder im selben Haushalt: ab Teenager-Alter Zuhause gesucht: mit Garten am Land Der ruhige Lari ist blind, daher ist der süße Kerl sehr vorsichtig. Kontakte sollte er daher maximal zu ruhigen Hunden haben, er sucht den Kontakt jedoch nicht wirklich. Bei fremden Menschen benötigt der entzückende Kerl eine kurze Kennenlernphase, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Lari kennt Innenräume, ist stubenrein und fährt brav im Auto mit. Lari musste sein bisheriges Leben leider an der Kette verbringen und konnte daher nicht viel kennen lernen – dadurch und durch seine Blindheit stressen ihn Dinge, die sich schnell bewegen (Fahrzeuge, aber auch rasche Bewegungen seiner Bezugspersonen). Für Lari suchen wir ein Kleinkinder-loses Zuhause mit Garten am Land! „Ich brauche anfangs etwas Zeit, um dich kennenzulernen, da ich dich ja nur rieche und höre, jedoch kaum sehen kann. Deshalb wäre ein ruhiges Zuhause für mich optimal, damit ich nicht mit Reizen überflutet werde. Ich gehe brav an der Leine, muss mich ja meist langsam vorwärts tasten … Aber ich liebe es trotzdem noch zu spielen und zu kuscheln, wenn ich mal vertraut zu dir bin. Ein bisschen Wachhund bin ich natürlich auch ;-) Suchen Sie so eine Mischung? Dann melden Sie sich, um mich kennen zu lernen!“

About Lari

What life with Lari looks like

Lari is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Austria in Vienna.

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.

Note from the shelter: Blind dog requiring patient owner and calm environment

🇦🇹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.
