How do I contact the shelter about Marco?

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

Can I adopt Marco 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 Marco 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 Marco 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 Marco 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.

Marco

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Shy Sensibell Born: July 2021 Size: just over knee-high Compatible with dogs: yes Possible with children in the same household: quiet teenagers possible Home sought: house with a garden in the countryside, ideally as a second dog The shy and sensitive, 2021-born mixed-breed male dog Marco requires a get-to-know phase with people to build trust and can also be rehomed with quiet teenagers. He is also compatible with other dogs. Marco now walks very well on a leash. The sensitive fellow hasn't learned much in his previous life, but he is now very curious, of course, but still cautious. With a second dog by his side in his last home, Marco was very "brave," but indoors, he is very unsettled. Marco has a handicap – despite his young age, he looks very poorly indoors and outdoors. Marco still needs monthly heartworm treatment for several more months, his heart scan was already clear. For the sensitive male dog, we are looking for a home with a garden in the countryside, ideally alongside a second dog who can provide security.

„Schüchternes Sensibelchen Geburtsdatum: Juli 2021 Größe: knapp über kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: ruhige Teenager möglich Zuhause gesucht: Haus mit Garten am Land, optimalerweise zu Zweithund Der schüchterne und sensible, 2021 geborene Mischlingsrüde Marco benötigt bei Menschen eine Kennenlernphase, um Vertrauen aufzubauen und kann auch zu ruhigen Teenagern vermittelt werden. Mit anderen Hunden ist er gut verträglich. Marco geht mittlerweile sehr brav an der Leine. Der sensible Kerl hat in seinem bisherigen Leben nicht viel kennengelernt, mittlerweile ist er sehr neugierig, natürlich aber vorsichtig. Mit einem Zweithund an seiner Seite war Marco in seinem letzten Zuhause sehr „mutig“, ohne tut er indoor sehr verunsichert. Marco hat ein Handicap – trotz seines jungen Alters sieht er indoor und outdoor sehr schlecht. Marco benötigt noch über mehrere Monate einmal pro Monat eine Dirofilarien-Behandlung, sein Herzschall war bereits ohne Befund. Für den sensiblen Rüden suchen wir ein Zuhause mit Garten am Land, optimalerweise an der Seite eines Zweihundes, der ihm Sicherheit geben kann.“

About Marco

What life with Marco looks like

Marco is a medium-sized 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.
