Novia

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Sensitive and patient individuals are sought for a 2022-born mixed-breed female dog named Novia. Novia is very sensitive and requires a period of getting to know people in order to overcome her shyness and build trust. She is well-behaved around other dogs. The sensitive dog is not yet familiar with a harness and therefore cannot yet be walked on a leash. Novia is not yet used to being touched or petted and does not allow it - if she is pushed, she will defend herself. Novia is house-trained, shows curiosity and follows her owners around to observe everything. We are looking for a home for Novia in the countryside, preferably a house with a garden, where she can be with a second dog for security.

„Suche einfühlsame Menschen mit Geduld Geburtsdatum: März 2022 Größe: knapp unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: am Land, Haus mit Garten, zu Zweithund Die schüchterne, 2022 geborene Mischlingshündin Novia ist sehr feinfühlig und benötigt bei Menschen eine Kennenlernphase, um ihre Unsicherheit zu überwinden und Vertrauen aufzubauen. Mit anderen Hunden ist Novia gut verträglich. Die sensible Hündin kennt noch kein Brustgeschirr und kann daher auch noch nicht an der Leine spazieren geführt werden. Angreifen und streicheln kennt Novia noch nicht und lässt es daher auch noch nicht zu – wird sie bedrängt, so verteidigt sie sich auch. Novia ist bei uns stubenrein, zeigt sich durchaus neugierig und läuft ihren Menschen auch hinterher, um alles zu beobachten. Für Novia suchen wir ein Zuhause am Land in Form von Haus mit Garten bei einem Zweithund, der ihr Sicherheit gibt.“

About Novia

What life with Novia looks like

Novia is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Wiener Tierschutzverein 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Novia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Novia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Wiener Tierschutzverein handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Novia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Novia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Wiener Tierschutzverein 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 Novia 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 Novia 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 Wiener Tierschutzverein early rather than rehoming privately; they know Novia 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.
