Adopt Mogli

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 5 years

The Shepherd puppy Mogli has traveled to many stations in the past year and is now searching for his people where he can arrive. He did not get along well with the shelter director, so he was moved to a professional foster home here, which also provides a very good and broad evaluation at home. He is a totally emaciated and clingy guy who is very close to his people. He is looking for orientation and is very grateful for good guidance from his people, which he gladly accepts. Mogli has bitten in the past and would sometimes go against passersby without guidance, so he should be secured with a muzzle. He knows it well and it doesn't bother him. Mogli has an excellent social behavior, regularly travels in large dog groups, and shows himself to be compatible with everyone, whether large, small, male dog, female dog, and so on. He loves interacting with other dogs, which is why he would be very happy to move into a multi-dog household. At home, Mogli settles down well, stays good alone, travels well by car, and loves to cuddle. He shows no issues with resources/food. He knows the basic commands, walks well on a leash, and is very oriented. Mogli is a pretty typical working shepherd, who requires a lot of clarity and experience from his people, but will then be an extremely nice, social, and clear guy who will bring a lot of joy to his people. Do you think you are the right person for Mogli or would you like to get to know him better?

Der Schäferhundrüde Mogli hat im letzten Jahr zu viele Stationen durch und sucht jetzt seine Menschen wo er ankommen darf. Da er mit dem Tierheimstress gar nicht gut klar kam durfte er auf eine professionelle Pflegestelle hier ziehen, was neben Training auch eine sehr gute und breite Einschätzung auch zuhause ermöglicht. Er ist ein total verschmuster und anhänglicher Kerl, der sehr eng an seinen Menschen ist. Er sucht nach Orientierung und ist für gute Anleitung von seinen Menschen sehr dankbar und nimmt diese gerne an. Mogli hat in der Vergangenheit schon gebissen und würde ohne Anleitung teilweise gegen Passanten gehen, weshalb er mit Maulkorb gesichert werden sollte. Den kennt er gut und der stört ihn auch nicht. Mogli hat ein ausgesprochen gutes Sozialverhalten, ist regelmäßig in großen Hundegruppen unterwegs und zeigt sich da mit allen verträglich, egal ob groß, klein, Rüde, Hündin,… Er liebt es mit anderen Hunden zu interagieren, weshalb er sich sehr freuen würde in einen Mehrhundehaushalt zu ziehen. Zuhause kommt Mogli super gut zur Ruhe, er bleibt gut alleine, fährt gut im Auto mit und liebt es zu kuscheln. Mit Ressourcen/Futter zeigt er keinerlei Thema. Er kennt die Grundkommandos, läuft gut an der Leine und ist sehr orientiert. Mogli ist ein ziemlich typischer Arbeitsschäferhund, der von seinen Menschen ganz viel Klarheit und auch Erfahrung benötigt, dann aber ein ausgesprochen toller, sozialer und klarer Kerl ist der seinen Menschen sehr viel Freude bereiten wird. Sie meinen, Sie sind der richtige Mensch für Mogli oder möchten ihn näher kennenlernen? Dann nehmen Sie mit dem

About Mogli

What life with Mogli looks like

Mogli is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierschutzverein für Tirol in Innsbruck.

An 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.

Note from the shelter: Requires muzzle for public walks due to past biting incidents and reactivity toward strangers

🇦🇹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 Mogli, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mogli?
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 Mogli on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mogli 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 Mogli 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 Mogli 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 Mogli 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.
