Lumpi

Male · Senior · 11 years

male dog "Lumpi" is a lively and sprightly companion. At first, he approaches unfamiliar people with caution. But once he has warmed to someone, he doesn't want to leave their side. He enjoys every bit of attention from his family. So far, "Lumpi" seems to have known very little, which is why he is currently learning the dog 1x1 program at the Sunnycourt Shelter and showing great eagerness to learn. He also gets along well with other dogs and has previously lived with his dog friend "Gonzo," with whom he would like to share his new family. The male dog would be delighted with a new family that could also provide him with a garden to play in. Tierschutzhaus Sonnenhof Franz von Assisi-Strasse 1 | 7000 Eisenstadt | ZVR E-MAIL:

DE·Show original

Rüde "Lumpi" ist ein lebensfroher und aufgeweckter Gefährte. Ihm unbekannten Personen tritt er zunächst noch mit Vorsicht gegenüber. Hat er jemanden aber erst ins Herz geschlossen, möchte er diesem am liebsten nicht mehr von der Seite weichen. Er genießt jede Aufmerksamkeit seiner Familie in vollen Zügen. Bisher dürfte Lumpi eher wenig kennengelernt haben, weshalb er zurzeit im Sonnenhof das Hunde-1x1 erlernt und sich dabei sehr gelehrig zeigt. Auch mit anderen Hunden zeigt er sich gut verträglich und er hat bisher auch mit seinem Hundefreund „Gonzo“ zusammengelebt, mit welchem er sich seine neue Familie auch weiterhin teilen möchte. Der Rüde würde sich über eine neue Familie freuen, die ihm auch einen Garten zum Herumtoben bieten kann.

About Lumpi

What life with Lumpi looks like

Lumpi is a senior dog waiting at Sonnenhof Eisenstadt (Sonnentiere) in Austria.

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 Lumpi, answered.

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