How do I contact the shelter about Lucky?

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

Can I adopt Lucky 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 Lucky 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 Lucky 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 Lucky 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.

Lucky

Mixed Breed · Male

"Energetic, Affectionate Hunde-Opi" Gender: male, neutered Date of Birth: Oct. 2013 Size: under knee-high Time in the animal shelter: Aug. 2023 Gets along with dogs: by sympathy Has children in the same household: no Home sought: quiet suburban fringe or countryside, a garden is advantageous The little mixed-breed Opi Lucky is still a bundle of energy despite his advanced age. That he only sees poorly (his right eye had to be removed) does not bother him. He is friendly to people and also to dogs. The sensitive gentleman does not want to be pressured. Wearing the chest harness has already been learned by Lucky through reward-oriented training. To ensure that Lucky can enjoy his twilight years in his future home, he should not have to share it with children. Due to his age, Lucky receives heart medication and diuretics. Therefore, we are looking for a quiet home outside the city with patient people who do not pressure him! A garden would be advantageous because Lucky drinks more and needs more walks due to the diuretic medication.

„Lebhafter, lieber Hunde-Opi“ Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Okt. 2013 Größe: unter kniehoch Im Tierheim seit: Aug. 2023 Mit Hunden verträglich: nach Sympathie Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: ruhiger Stadtrand oder Land, Garten von Vorteil Der kleine Mischlings-Opi Lucky ist trotz seines fortgeschrittenen Alters noch ein Energiebündel. Dass er nur eingeschränkt sieht (sein rechtes Auge musste entfernt werden), stört ihn dabei nicht. Er ist freundlich zu Menschen und auch zu Hunden. Bedrängt werden, möchte der sensible Herr nicht. Das Anziehen des Brustgeschirrs hat Lucky bereits durch belohnungsorientiertes Training erlernt. Damit er im zukünftigen Zuhause seinen Lebensabend genießen kann, sollte er dieses nicht mit Kindern teilen müssen. Altersbedingt erhält Lucky Medikamente fürs Herz und zur Entwässerung.Daher suchen wir für Lucky ein ruhiges Zuhause außerhalb der Stadt bei geduldigen Menschen, die ihn nicht bedrängen! Ein Garten wäre von Vorteil, da Lucky aufgrund der Entwässerungsmedikamente mehr trinkt und mehr gassi gehen muss.

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

Lucky 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.
