How do I contact the shelter about Max?

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

Can I adopt Max 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 Max 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 Max 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 Max 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.

Max

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Shy Sensibelle Geschlecht: male, neutered Geburtsdatum: February 2024 Mit Hunden verträglich: yes Kinder im selben Haushalt: ruhige Teenager möglich Zuhause gesucht: mit Garten am Land The shy, 2024-born mixed-breed male dog Max requires a longer getting-to-know-you phase to build trust and allow petting. Children in the same household should therefore be at least teenage age, calm, and considerate. Max is also compatible with other dogs. The sensitive male dog cannot be petted at the moment and is therefore not yet familiar with the chest harness or leash, is not house-trained, and is currently seeking a quiet home with a garden in the countryside where he can go for walks in the garden during the initial period until he has built enough trust to be petted and wear a chest harness. Hence, people are needed who can give him the necessary time without pressuring him.

„Schüchternes Sensibelchen Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Februar 2024 Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: ruhige Teenager möglich Zuhause gesucht: mit Garten am Land Der schüchterne, 2024 geborene Mischlingsrüde Max benötigt eine längere Kennenlernphase, um Vertrauen aufzubauen und sich berühren zu lassen. Kinder im selben Haushalt sollten daher zumindest Teenager-Alter erreicht haben, ruhig und rücksichtsvoll sein. Mit anderen Hunden ist Max prima verträglich. Der sensible Rüde lässt sich zur Zeit noch nicht berühren, kennt daher das Brustgeschirr bzw. die Leine noch nicht, ist noch nicht stubenrein und sucht daher aktuell ein ruhiges Zuhause mit Garten am Land, wo er in der Anfangszeit im Garten gassi gehen kann bis er genug Vertrauen aufgebaut hat, um sich berühren und ein Brustgeschirr anziehen zu lassen. Daher werden Menschen gesucht, die ihm die nötige Zeit geben und ihn nicht bedrängen.“

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Austria in Vienna.

An young 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.
