Nalle

Labrador Retriever · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Nalle is a young Labrador who embodies exactly the image one might have of a brown Lab—still somewhat inexperienced in life. He loves people, is completely fearless and undaunted, and sticks by his humans through thick and thin. He adores being petted and usually approaches strangers with openness and friendliness. However, if he feels overly manipulated, he’ll start growling; otherwise, he’ll still wag his tail contentedly even when lying on the veterinarian’s table. Nalle still needs a lot of guidance and support at home to learn how to calm down. Otherwise, out of stress, he quickly starts destroying the apartment, barking incessantly, and using the furniture as an obstacle course. Even walking calmly on the leash outdoors still requires some practice—but he’s already making great progress in that area. On the other hand, he remains utterly relaxed in the face of all kinds of external stimuli. Not long ago, his previous owners picked him up from the “breeder,” but then they had to give him up due to losing their home and job. The first...

DE·Show original

Nalle ist ein junger Labrador, der sich genau so zeigt wie man sich einen braunen Labbi vorstellt, der noch nicht viel im Leben gelernt hat. Liebt Menschen, ist absolut furchtlos und unerschrocken und geht mit seinen Menschen durch dick und dünn. Er liebt es sich streicheln zu lassen und begegnet auch Fremden meist offen und zugewandt. Bei zu viel Manipulation wird er jedoch knurrig, ansonsten steht er auch auf dem Tierarzttisch noch wedelnd. Nalle braucht Zuhause noch sehr viel Anleitung und Hilfe zur Ruhe zu kommen. Ansonsten zerstört er aus Stress schnell die Wohnung, bellt nonstop und verwendet die Möbel als Parcours. Auch draußen muss das entspannte an der Leine gehen noch bisschen geübt werden, hier macht er schon große Fortschritte. Dafür ist er absolut entspannt mit jeglichen Außenreizen. Vor nicht allzu langer Zeit haben ihn die alten Besitzer beim “Züchter” geholt, dann muss er aufgrund von Wohnungs- und Jobverlust weg. Die erste

About Nalle

What life with Nalle looks like

Nalle is a large young adult labrador retriever 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 Nalle, answered.

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