Lino

Akita · Male · Senior · 11 years

Lino is a lively and watchful, neutered male dog who prefers to live outdoors and curiously explores his surroundings. Initially wary of strangers, he barks for security, but with some time, he quickly develops trust and shows his friendly, clingy side. Due to his pronounced hunting instinct, Lino needs a high, secure fence. He gets along well with female dogs, but his relationship with male dogs depends on their mutual liking.

DE·Show original

Lino ist ein lebhafter und wachsamer, kastrierter Rüde, der gerne draußen lebt und seine Umgebung neugierig erkundet. Fremden gegenüber ist er anfangs wachsam und bellt zur Absicherung, doch mit etwas Zeit entwickelt er schnell Vertrauen und zeigt seine freundliche, anhängliche Seite. Aufgrund seines ausgeprägten Jagdinstinkts braucht Lino einen hohen, sicheren Zaun. Mit Hündinnen versteht er sich gut, bei Rüden entscheidet die Sympathie.

About Lino

What life with Lino looks like

Lino is a medium-sized senior akita dog waiting at Tierheim Steyr in Steyr.

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.

🇦🇹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 Lino, answered.

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