How do I contact the shelter about Loki?

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

Can I adopt Loki if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Arche Noah 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 Loki 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 Loki 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 Arche Noah early rather than rehoming privately; they know Loki 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.

Loki

Male · Adult · 4 years

Loki is a 3-year-old Hovawart mix and probably one of the more laid-back representatives of his breed. He likes to take things easy and doesn't need to be constantly on the go. Despite this, the typical Hovawart is also in him: attentive, vigilant, self-confident and loyal to his human. Loki is initially skeptical of strangers. He doesn't want to immediately declare every two-legged person his best friend and takes a moment to get to know someone. But it usually doesn't take long - once Loki has gained trust, he quickly thaws and shows his relaxed and friendly side. We are looking for people who appreciate his calm nature and at the same time give him the security and leadership that a self-confident dog like him needs. A relaxed everyday life with nice walks and enough time to relax sounds perfect to him. However, other animals are not part of Loki's preferred social circle and children should not live in his new home. Loki is not a dog for everyone - but maybe just the right one for people who are looking for a loyal, vigilant and rather laid-back companion who, after getting to know them, would like to walk through life by their side.

Loki ist ein 3-jähriger Hovawart-Mix und wahrscheinlich einer der gemütlicheren Vertreter seiner Art. Er lässt es gerne etwas ruhiger angehen und muss nicht ständig Vollgas geben. Trotzdem steckt auch in ihm der typische Hovawart: aufmerksam, wachsam, selbstbewusst und seinem Menschen gegenüber loyal. Bei fremden Menschen ist Loki zunächst skeptisch. Er möchte nicht jeden Zweibeiner sofort zum besten Freund erklären und nimmt sich lieber einen Moment Zeit, um jemanden kennenzulernen. Lange dauert das aber meist nicht – hat Loki Vertrauen gefasst, taut er rasch auf und zeigt seine entspannte und freundliche Seite. Für Loki suchen wir Menschen, die seine ruhige Art zu schätzen wissen und ihm gleichzeitig die Sicherheit und Führung geben, die ein selbstbewusster Hund wie er braucht. Ein gemütlicher Alltag mit schönen Spaziergängen und genügend Zeit zum Entspannen klingt für ihn ziemlich perfekt. Andere Tiere gehören allerdings nicht zu Lokis bevorzugtem Freundeskreis und Kinder sollten ebenfalls nicht in seinem neuen Zuhause leben. Loki ist eben kein Hund für jeden – aber vielleicht genau der richtige für Menschen, die einen loyalen, wachsamen und eher gemütlichen Begleiter suchen, der nach dem Kennenlernen gerne an ihrer Seite durchs Leben geht.

About Loki

What life with Loki looks like

Loki is a large adult dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

An 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; fees typically range €150–€350.
