How do I contact the shelter about Lee?

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

Can I adopt Lee 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 Lee 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 Lee 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 Lee 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.

Lee

Mixed Breed · Male

Excited Sensibelchen Gender: male, neutered Birthdate: Sept. 2012 Size: under knee-high In shelter since: Feb. 2022 Gets along with dogs: rather not Gets along with cats: unknown Children in the same household: no Looking for a home: quiet area Our little dog grandpa Lee has a big problem with attacking/handling. That's why he needs a getting-to-know-you phase to build trust. With careful observation of his body language, a chest harness can then be put on. Lee doesn't like being stroked or handled too much. Maybe that will change in a new, stress-free home, but we can't guarantee that Lee will ever become a snuggle dog. On the leash, he is stressed during dog encounters, and we haven't yet tested how he gets along with other dogs in free roam. Lee is looking for loving people with dog experience who understand his body language and don't pressure him. He is house-trained, walks nicely on the leash, and despite his age, is lively and playful. He loves toys, collects them, and enjoys playing independently. When it comes to food, he also defends this resource against people. Lee has a patellar luxation, but currently does not require surgery. He occasionally suffers from a cherry eye. If you think you are the right people for Lee, then get in touch with us!

„Aufgewecktes Sensibelchen Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Sept. 2012 Größe: unter kniehoch Im Tierheim seit: Feb. 2022 Mit Hunden verträglich: eher nein Mit Katzen verträglich: unbekannt Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: ruhige Gegend Unser kleiner Hundeopa Lee hat ein großes Problem mit dem Angreifen/Handling. Deshalb braucht er eine Kennenlernphase, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Mit genauer Beobachtung seiner Körpersprache lässt sich dann ein Brustgeschirr anlegen. Streicheln oder zu viel Angreifen mag Lee nicht. Vielleicht ändert sich das in einem neuen, stressfreien Zuhause, aber wir können nicht garantieren, dass Lee jemals ein Kuschelhund wird. An der Leine ist er bei Hundebegegnungen gestresst, und wir konnten noch nicht testen, wie er sich im Freilauf mit anderen Hunden verträgt. Lee sucht liebevolle Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, die seine Körpersprache verstehen und ihn nicht bedrängen. Er ist stubenrein, läuft brav an der Leine und ist trotz seines Alters aufgeweckt und lustig. Er liebt Spielsachen, sammelt sie und beschäftigt sich gern selbstständig damit. Bei Futter muss man aufpassen, da er diese Ressource gegenüber Menschen auch verteidigt. Lee hat eine Patellaluxation, benötigt jedoch aktuell keine Operation. Gelegentlich leidet er unter einem Cherry Eye. Wenn ihr meint, ihr seid die richtigen Menschen für Lee, dann meldet euch bei uns!“

About Lee

What life with Lee looks like

Lee is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Austria in Vienna.

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.
