Muffin

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Muffin is a sweet 2021-born mixed breed male who is friendly and can be trusted with respectful teenagers after a short introduction phase (he is somewhat suspicious due to his experiences). He is also compatible with other dogs. The gentle dog is house trained, knows the harness and walks nicely on a leash. A bit of weight loss would be nice for the overweight gentleman. In his last home he protected his sick owner from strangers, even snapping at them on occasion. Muffin is also used to being alone for short periods of time. We are looking for a home for Muffin in the suburbs or countryside, a garden would be an advantage."

Geburtsdatum: September 2021 Größe: unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: Teenager möglich Zuhause gesucht: am Stadtrand oder Land, Garten von Vorteil Der süße, 2021 geborene Mischlingsrüde Muffin ist nach einer kurzen Kennenlernphase (er ist etwas misstrauisch aufgrund seiner Erfahrungen) menschenfreundlich und kann auch zu rücksichtsvollen Teenagern vergeben werden. Auch mit anderen Hunden ist Muffin verträglich. Der liebe Rüde ist stubenrein, kennt das Brustgeschirr und geht brav an der Leine. Etwas abspecken muss der übergewichtige Herr noch ein bisschen. In seinem letzten Zuhause hat er sein krankes Herrl durchaus vor Fremden beschützt, auch mal geschnappt. Das Alleinebleiben für kurze Zeit kennt Muffin auch schon aus seinem letzten Zuhause. Für Muffin suchen wir ein Zuhause am Stadtrand oder Land, ein Garten wäre von Vorteil.”

About Muffin

What life with Muffin looks like

Muffin 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.

🇦🇹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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Muffin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Muffin?: 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 Muffin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Muffin 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Muffin 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 Muffin 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 Muffin 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.
