Neon

Collie · Male · Young · 3 years

Neon is a young, friendly male Herding dog who has been returned to the shelter due to an unavoidable separation. He is a super friendly dog that loves to spend time with people and is an ideal companion in most situations. Neon is very open and friendly to strangers and enjoys being petted. As a Herding dog, he can get very excited, stressed, and if something is very important to him, he can become very high-strung and even tackle his humans if it gets too tight. His new humans should have the standing, sufficient sensitivity, and experience in reading dogs to guide Neon well and relaxed. Too much attention overwhelms him, but in the role of a companion, he is a very uncomplicated guy. Neon is a very relaxed dog in the house, does not tend to bark, behaves quietly, and can stay alone for hours. He drives well and knows all the important things about life in a household. Neon currently lives with a female dog, which works out very well. With girls, he is interested and friendly, but with other males, it depends on their sympathy. Neon does not really care about contact, he much prefers to go with his humans. As an active representative of his breed, we are looking for people who like to be outdoors and enjoy doing a lot with their dog. He needs people who can give him structure and clarity. Then you get an absolute dream dog with Neon. Do you think you are the right person for Neon or would you like to get to know him better? Then contact the shelter.

Wie viel Pech kann ein Hund haben?! Neon ist aufgrund einer Trennung unverschuldet wieder ins Tierheim gebracht worden. Der Rüde ist ein grundsätzlich super freundlicher, den Menschen sehr zugewandter junger Kerl. Er liebt gemeinsame Unternehmungen und ist in den meisten Situationen ein idealer Begleiter. Auch fremden Menschen begegnet Neon sehr aufgeschlossen und freundlich und lässt sich gerne streicheln. Hütehundtypisch fährt er bei hoher Erregungslage, Stress und wenn ihm etwas sehr wichtig ist schnell hoch und würde, wenn es zu eng ist dann auch in seine Menschen tackern. Seine neuen Menschen sollten also das Standing, genügend Feingefühl und Erfahrung im Lesen von Hunden haben um Neon gut und entspannt anzuleiten. Zu viel Mittelpunkt überfordert ihn, dagegen ist er in der Rolle des Begleiters ein sehr unkomplizierter Kerl. Neon ist im Haus ein sehr entspannter Vertreter, der nicht zum Bellen neigt, sich ruhig verhält und auch stundenweise alleine bleiben kann. Er fährt gut Auto und kennt alle wichtigen Dinge rund um das Leben in einem Haushalt. Hier lebt Neon aktuell mit einer Hündin zusammen, was sehr gut klappt. Mit Mädels zeigt er sich interessiert aufdringlich und freundlich, bei anderen Rüden entscheidet die Sympathie. Auf Kontakt legt Neon hier aber gar nicht so viel Wert, viel lieber möchte er mit seinen Menschen gehen 😀 Als aktiver Vertreter seiner Rasse suchen wir für ihn Menschen, die gerne draußen unterwegs sind und Lust darauf haben, viel mit ihrem Hund zu unternehmen. Er braucht Menschen, die ihm Struktur und Klarheit geben können. Dann bekommt man mit Neon einen absoluten Traumhund. Sie meinen, Sie sind der richtige Mensch für Neon oder möchten ihn näher kennenlernen? Dann nehmen Sie mit dem

About Neon

What life with Neon looks like

Neon is a large young adult collie 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 Neon, answered.

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