How do I contact the shelter about Mady?

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

Can I adopt Mady if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein St. Pölten 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 Mady 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 Mady 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 St. Pölten early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mady 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.

Mady

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 13 years

Hello, I am Mady. As a found animal at this breed shelter, I have been searching for a warm family for a very long time. Why it hasn't worked out yet is a small mystery to me. My caring caretakers believe I am an absolute ray of sunshine, always cheerful and in good spirits. So, whoever is lucky enough to have a cheerful little mouse like me in their family will gain a great, positive addition to their life. I can tell you that. Otherwise, I very much enjoy taking walks. Due to my somewhat higher age, these don't have to be big explorations anymore; simply strolling around leisurely and in peace, basking in the sun, and taking a rest at one or two benches, is enough for me. It's also the small things that make me happy. If you perhaps have a garden or a cozy spot in the house for me, where we can spend our evenings relaxed, that would be a definite hit. Regardless of that, I am also the perfect co-passenger in the car. If you need to take one or two extra turns, that's no problem for me. Hopefully, my message reaches people with the heart in the right place who already know that so-called "listen dogs" are wonderful companions. Let's put aside the prejudices and get to know us ourselves. I am looking forward to getting to know you in peace. Yours, Mady!

Hallo, ich bin Mady.Als Fundtier ins Tierheim gekommen, halte ich nun schon sehr lange Ausschau nach einer herzlichen Familie. Warum es bisher noch nicht klappen wollte, ist mir selbst ein kleines Rätsel. Meine fürsorglichen Pfleger meinen, ich sei ein absoluter Sonnenschein, stets fröhlich und gut gelaunt. Also wer das Glück hat, so eine fröhliche Maus wie mich in seiner Familie zu haben, wird eine große, positive Bereicherung in seinem Leben erfahren. Das kann ich euch schon mal sagen.Ansonsten unternehme ich sehr gerne Spaziergänge. Aufgrund meines doch schon etwas höheren Alters müssen es keine großen Entdeckungstouren mehr sein, einfach gemütlich und in Ruhe durch die Gegend zu streifen, die Sonne ins Gesicht scheinen zu lassen und bei dem einen oder anderen Bänkchen zu rasten, reicht mir vollkommen aus. Es sind auch die kleinen Dinge, die mich glücklich machen.Wenn du vielleicht noch einen Garten oder ein Kuschelplätzchen im Haus für mich hättest, wo wir entspannt unsere Abende verbringen können, wäre dies ein absoluter Hit. Ungeachtet dessen bin ich auch die perfekte Beifahrerin im Auto. Wenn ihr die eine oder andere extra Runde drehen müsst, dann ist dies kein Problem für mich. Hoffentlich erreicht meine Nachricht Menschen mit dem Herz am richtigen Fleck, die bereits wissen, dass wir sogenannten "Listenhunde" tolle Wauzis sind. Lasst mal die Vorurteile beiseite und macht euch selbst ein Bild von uns.Ich warte schon voller Vorfreude darauf, dass wir uns bald in Ruhe kennenlernen. Deine Mady!

About Mady

What life with Mady looks like

Mady is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein St. Pölten in St. Pölten.

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.
