How do I contact the shelter about Madox?

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

Can I adopt Madox if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum 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 Madox 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 Madox 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 TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum early rather than rehoming privately; they know Madox 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.

, FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 Uhr _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler Intelligent, unabhängig, selbstbewusst und clever. I are intelligent, independent, confident, and clever. I prefer to make my own decisions, but I will listen to you if you make a good suggestion. We are partners in this adventure of life. This says Madox: Hello, I am Madox and my caretakers say I am quite a challenge! What should I say? I am just a real Kangal – loyal, clingy, and territorial. With my primary caregiver, whom I choose myself, I am clingy and cuddly. If a human does not interest me, I will ignore them. What Madox needs: He is not a beginner dog and therefore needs people with breed experience for a harmonious relationship. A home with a large garden, where he can keep an eye on his territory, would be desirable. Madox is very independent and does not approach everyone immediately, so patience is required. What Madox does not need: Other animals or children in the home – he needs his peace and wants to be the only ruler of his domain. If you already have experience with strong dogs and are ready to offer Madox a suitable home, then contact us. Madox is waiting for you! 💚 Your donation is used appropriately and frugally.

Ich ziehe es vor, meine Entscheidungen selbst zu treffen, aber werde auf dich hören, wenn du einen guten Vorschlag machst. Wir sind Partner in diesem Abenteuer Leben. Das sagt Madox:Hallo, ich bin Madox und meine Pfleger sagen ich bin wohl eine echte Herausforderung! Was soll ich sagen? Ich bin halt ein echter Kangal – treu, anhänglich und territorial. Mit meiner Bezugsperson, die ich mir selbst aussuche, bin ich anhänglich und verschmust. Wenn mich ein Mensch nicht interessiert wird er ignoriert. Was Madox braucht: Er ist kein Anfängerhund und braucht deshalb Menschen mit Rasseerfahrung für einen harmonischen Umgang. Ein Zuhause mit einem großen Garten, in dem er sein Territorium im Blick behalten kann, wäre wünschenswert. Madox ist sehr selbstständig und geht nicht auf jeden sofort zu, Geduld ist also gefragt. Wichtig sind ihm klare Strukturen und eine feste Führung. Was Madox nicht braucht: Andere Tiere oder Kinder im Haushalt – er benötigt seine Ruhe und möchte der einzige Herrscher seines Bereichs sein. Wenn du bereits Erfahrung mit starken Hunden hast und bereit bist Madox ein passendes Zuhause zu bieten, dann melde dich bei uns. Madox wartet bereits auf dich! 💚 Ihre Spende wird zweckgemäß und sparsam eingesetzt. Bitte unterstützen Sie uns mit dem Kauf von Futterspenden! Adresse und wie Sie am besten zu uns finden.

About Madox

What life with Madox looks like

Madox is a large senior kangal dog waiting at TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum in Klagenfurt.

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.

Note from the shelter: Requires large yard for territory monitoring, no other animals or children, needs experienced handler with breed knowledge

🇦🇹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.
