Miyu

Unknown · Young · 1 year

Miyu is a young Wolfhound who has learned very little in his short life and now urgently needs experienced breed-specific people to explain the world to him. At barely a year old, he needs people who understand what a young Wolfhound brings and can offer him a forever home. Miyu is exceptionally open-minded and brings little skepticism. Instead, he charges through life with his head held high. In everything he does, he is quick. He thinks fast, learns fast, gets frustrated fast, and acts fast. He is an exceptionally intelligent dog who definitely needs a challenge for his mind. Miyu is at least so far open to all people, very distant and overbearing but never unpleasant. He often behaves like an absolutely frustrated young pup, which, given his size, is painful but something every puppy/young dog owner of such a breed must deal with. For example, he’s not a cuddly frustration ball 😀 With other dogs, Miyu is still very inexperienced, but does great in our large group and shows himself to be very good-natured. He lives in a mixed flat and gets along with everyone, still acting like a proper young pup. His new people should ideally have breed experience. We do not want to place Miyu somewhere where it’s just “oh wow, I want a Wolfhound,” but where people are aware of what these very special dogs bring. People who understand that it might never be possible to leave the dog home alone. People who know that he can still be much more skeptical and defensive towards strangers. People who are willing to work a lot with Miyu and who have the time, knowledge, and finesse to turn this special dog into a relaxed companion.

Miyu ist ein junger Wolfshund, der in seinem bisherigen Leben noch so gut wie nichts gelernt hat. Jetzt braucht er dringend rasseerfahrene Menschen, die bereit sind, ihm die Welt zu erklären. Mit noch nicht einmal einem Jahr braucht er Menschen, die wissen, was ein junger Wolfshund mitbringt, und die ihm einen Platz für immer bieten können. Miyu ist ausgesprochen aufgeschlossen und bringt wenig Skepsis mit. Vielmehr geht er mit dem Kopf durch die Wand durchs Leben. In allem, was er macht, ist er schnell: Er denkt schnell, lernt schnell, wird schnell frustriert und handelt schnell. Er ist ein ausgesprochen intelligenter Hund, der auf jeden Fall auch eine Aufgabe für seinen Kopf braucht. Leider hat Miyu eine sehr schlechte Hinterhand, was in absehbarer Zukunft zu Einschränkungen führen kann. Miyu ist zumindest bisher allen Menschen gegenüber aufgeschlossen. Dabei ist er sehr distanzlos und übergriffig, aber niemals ungut. Eher benimmt er sich wie ein absolut frustiger Junghund, was aufgrund seiner Größe zwar häufig schmerzhaft ist, aber zu den Dingen gehört, durch die jeder Welpen- und Junghundebesitzer einer solchen Rasse durch muss. Er muss beispielsweise noch lernen, dass Arme keine Frustbälle sind, auf denen man herumbeißen kann. Mit anderen Hunden ist Miyu noch sehr unerfahren, macht sich in unserer großen Gruppe aber gut und zeigt sich sehr verträglich – wenn auch sehr distanzlos und unverschämt. Er wohnt in einer gemischten WG und kommt mit allen klar. Auch hier verhält er sich noch wie ein typischer Junghund. Seine neuen Menschen sollten idealerweise Rasseerfahrung mitbringen. Wir wollen Miyu nicht dorthin vermitteln, wo es nur ein „Oh krass, ich will einen Wolf!“ ist, sondern zu Menschen, die sich darüber im Klaren sind, was diese sehr speziellen Hunde mitbringen. Menschen, denen bewusst ist, dass es vielleicht nie möglich sein wird, den Hund alleine zu Hause zu lassen. Menschen, die wissen, dass er noch deutlich skeptischer und abwehrender gegenüber Fremden werden kann. Menschen, die bereit sind, sehr viel mit Miyu zu arbeiten, und die Zeit, Wissen und das nötige Feingefühl haben, diesen besonderen Hund zu einem entspannten Begleiter zu machen.

About Miyu

What life with Miyu looks like

Miyu is a large young adult dog waiting at Tierschutzverein für Tirol in Innsbruck.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Miyu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Miyu?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein für Tirol handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Miyu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Miyu if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein für Tirol 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 Miyu 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 Miyu 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 für Tirol early rather than rehoming privately; they know Miyu 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.
