How do I contact the shelter about Mona?

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

Can I adopt Mona 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 Mona 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 Mona 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 Mona 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.

Mona

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

"Branded Schüchti" Gender: female, neutered Date of Birth: September 2022 Size: under knee-high Gets along with dogs: yes Children in the same household: no Home sought: in the countryside, with a second dog The loving, 2022-born mixed-breed female dog Mona is people-friendly but needs a getting-to-know-you phase to overcome her insecurity. The female dog (with a snout scar?) has a branded nasal ridge – a relic from her Romanian past: a brand mark as a superstition to protect dogs from illnesses. Mona is still very insecure when wearing the harness and therefore needs sensitive people who do not pressure her. She also goes very insecurely on the leash and currently only with a second dog by her side. The shy female dog is already house-trained with us. We are looking for a home in the countryside for Mona with a confident second dog.

„Gebrandmarktes Schüchti“ Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: September 2022 Größe: unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: am Land, zu Zweithund Die liebe, 2022 geborene Mischlingshündin Mona ist menschenfreundlich, benötigt aber eine Kennenlernphase, um ihre Unsicherheit zu überwinden. Die liebe Hündin (mit Schnauzereinschlag?) hat einen gebrandmarkten Nasenrücken – Ein Relikt aus ihrem rumänischen Vorleben: eine Brandmarke als Aberglaube, der Hunde vor Krankheiten schützen soll. Mona ist beim Anziehen des Brustgeschirrs noch sehr unsicher, benötigt daher einfühlsame Menschen, die sie nicht bedrängen. An der Leine geht sie ebenfalls noch sehr unsicher und zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt nur an der Seite eines Zweithundes. Die schüchterne Hündin ist bei uns bereits stubenrein. Für Mona suchen wir ein Zuhause am Land bei einem souveränen Zweithund.

About Mona

What life with Mona looks like

Mona 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.
