How do I contact the shelter about Micky?

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

Can I adopt Micky 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 Micky 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 Micky 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 Micky 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.

Micky

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Micky – born April 2018 – 240525 “I am diligent and curious, but also easily frustrated, insecure, and sensitive – that’s who I am.” Gender: male, neutered Birth date: April 2018 Height: under knee-high In the animal shelter since: March 2021 Gets along with dogs: by sympathy Children in the same household: no Home sought: a quiet, childless home in the countryside The sensitive, 2018-born mixed-breed male dog Micky has been waiting for “his” people for a while, who must initially give him time for getting to know each other, approaching, and handling, as Micky unfortunately gets overwhelmed quickly and then snaps. Micky walks calmly on the leash and knows indoor spaces, but in a new environment, he still needs to practice calming down. “I would love to be everywhere and get to know everyone and everything – I am simply so curious! Unfortunately, I often forget how much foreign people and touches can overwhelm me or how frustrating it is when I can’t go somewhere! Then I get rough and also pinch. My foster mom can sing a song about that, but she now knows how to keep me occupied: small exploration tours on the leash, searching for treats on the grass, and practicing a whole bunch of tricks! I could learn new commands for hours with her, and I already know quite a few. Learning makes me incredibly happy. What I still need now is a loving home and someone who can teach me the opposite with a lot of patience: calmness. Just lying around and letting the world pass by would do me good. Are you ready for that? Then contact me!. This animal has a history of biting.

Micky – geb. April 2018 – 240525 „gelehrig und neugierig, aber auch frustanfällig, unsicher und sensibel – das bin ich“ Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: April 2018 Größe: unter kniehoch Im Tierheim seit: März 2021 Mit Hunden verträglich: nach Sympathie Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: ruhiges, kinderloses Zuhause am Land Der sensible, 2018 geborene Mischlingsrüde Micky wartet schon länger auf „seine“ Menschen, die ihm anfangs für das Kennenlernen, Angreifen und Handling Zeit geben müssen, da Micky leider rasch überfordert ist und dann auch schnappt. Micky geht brav an der Leine und kennt Innenräume, in neuer Umgebung muss er jedoch noch üben, zur Ruhe zu kommen. „Am liebsten würde ich gerne überall dabei sein, und jeden und alles kennenlernen – ich bin einfach so neugierig! Leider vergesse ich aber oft, wie schnell mir fremde Menschen und Berührungen zu viel werden oder wie frustrierend es ist, wenn ich mal nicht wo hindarf! Da werde ich dann grob und zwicke auch. Meine Patin kann da ein Lied davon singen, aber mittlerweile weiß sie, wie man mich am besten beschäftigt: kleine Erkundungstouren an der Leine, Leckerlis in der Wiese suchen und ganz viele Tricks üben! Ich könnte stundenlang mit ihr neue Kommandos lernen, und kann auch schon echt viele. Lernen macht mir unglaublich viel Spaß. Was ich jetzt noch brauche, ist ein liebevolles Zuhause und jemanden, der mir mit viel Geduld auch das Gegenteil beibringt: Ruhe. Einfach wo liegen und die Welt vorbeiziehen lassen, das würde mir guttun. Sind Sie dazu bereit? Dann melden Sie sich und fragen Sie nach mir!“

About Micky

What life with Micky looks like

Micky is a small 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.

Note from the shelter: Sensitive dog who gets overwhelmed easily and may snap. Needs patient introduction and handling. Requires experienced owner for training and socialization.

🇦🇹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.
