How do I contact the shelter about Lucia?

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

Can I adopt Lucia if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein für Tirol 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 Lucia 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 Lucia 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 Tierschutzverein für Tirol early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lucia 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.

Lucia

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Lucia is a small Terrier. She is very environmentally safe, emotionally stable, energetic and full of drive. Because her owner has passed away, she is now looking for a place to arrive and experience adventures. The female dog is very confident, calm and goes through life with self-assurance. She encounters all people openly to neutrally and enjoys being petted. With her humans, she becomes very close very quickly and shows herself very attached to them. At the same time, she is not pushy but can also do her own thing. Lucia shows herself as very confident, relaxed and well-tolerated with large, stable dogs. She has already run in the big group here, lives with a male dog and gets along well with dogs. Small animals, whether cats, small dogs or small animals should not be in her home, she may make short work of them if necessary. Also, small children should not be in their new home. Outdoors, Lucia shows herself as a neutral, environmentally safe, sometimes stubborn and super relaxed companion in all situations. She brings with her the typical hunting instinct for the breed. For this cool female dog, we are looking for people who love this Terrier stubbornness and the resulting calmness towards life and have a taste for a sympathetic, open-minded personality. Do you think you are the right person for Lucia or would you like to get to know her better? Then contact [Shelter Name]

About Lucia

What life with Lucia looks like

Lucia is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein für Tirol in Innsbruck.

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.
