How do I contact the shelter about Luzy?

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

Can I adopt Luzy 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 Luzy 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 Luzy 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 Luzy 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.

Luzy

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

female dog "Luzy" is an open and friendly companion who doesn't like to be away from her family. In the first contact, she may initially be a bit reserved towards someone, but after a short getting-to-know-you phase, the ice is quickly broken. Luzy bonds relatively quickly with her new family and wants to accompany them in everyday life. Whether it's walks, mental activities, or cozy and relaxing cuddle hours, it doesn't matter to her as long as she is close to her family and the trusted people. Luzy suffers from hip joint dysplasia and arthritis in both elbow joints, which means her physical exertion must be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, she needs to take medication permanently. For these reasons, there should also be no children in the household. In social contact with fellow animals, the female dog is not compatible and she wants to be the only dog in the household. Luzy would be very happy about a loving new home. Animal shelter Sonnenhof Franz von Assisi-Strasse 1 | 7000 Eisenstadt | ZVR E-MAIL:. Hip dysplasia status applies — see shelter for details.

DE·Show original

Hündin "Luzy" ist eine aufgeschlossene und freundliche Gesellin, die ihrer Familie am liebsten nicht von der Seite weichen möchte. Im Erstkontakt kann sie jemandem noch etwas zurückhaltender begegnen, nach einer kurzen Kennenlernphase ist das Eis aber rasch gebrochen. Luzy bindet sich vergleichsweise rasch an ihre neue Familie und möchte diese dann auch im Alltag begleiten. Dabei ist es ihr gleich, ob es sich um Spaziergänge, geistige Aktivitäten oder auch gemütliche und entspannte Kuschelstunden handelt - wichtig ist die Nähe zur Familie und den Bezugspersonen. Luzy leidet an einer Hüftgelenksdysplasie und Arthrosen in beiden Ellbogengelenken, weshalb ihre körperliche Auslastung entsprechend angepasst werden muss. Zudem benötigt sie dauerhaft Medikamente. Aus diesen Gründen sollten auch keine Kinder im gemeinsamen Haushalt leben. Im Sozialkontakt mit Artgenossen zeigt sich die Hündin nicht verträglich und sie möchte der einzige Hund im Haushalt sein. Luzy würde sich über ein liebevolles, neues Zuhause sehr freuen.

About Luzy

What life with Luzy looks like

Luzy is a senior mixed breed 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.
