How do I contact the shelter about Nanu?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nanu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nanu if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum 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 Nanu 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 Nanu 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 TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nanu 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.

, FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 hrs _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler Intelligent, independent, self-confident, and clever. I prefer making my own decisions, but I’ll listen to you if you have a good suggestion. We’re partners in this adventure called life. Here’s what Nanu says: “I’m smart and hardworking. I’m not made for doing nothing—rather, I thrive on real tasks. With clear guidance, meaningful activities, and a trusted person who takes me seriously, I’ll become a loyal and attentive companion—full of energy and motivation.” What Nanu needs: Nanu is not a dog for beginners. Breed experience is essential—she needs a confident, dog-savvy person who’s ready to work with her. Nanu wants to be challenged—both physically and mentally. She needs a task, a clear goal—and that’s when she really blossoms. A calm home without children. What Nanu doesn’t need: No children, no cats. And no everyday life without structure and work—that wouldn’t suit her at all. Are you up for the challenge? Then come by and show Nanu who you are!

About Nanu

What life with Nanu looks like

Nanu is a large senior belgian malinois dog waiting at TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum in Klagenfurt.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇦🇹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.
