How do I contact the shelter about Odin?

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

Can I adopt Odin if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animal Care 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Odin 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 Odin 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 Animal Care Austria early rather than rehoming privately; they know Odin 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.

Odin

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

📍 Current location: Upper Austria Odin is a neutered mixed-breed male dog, born in March 2017 (possibly a Pudelpointer cross), who was abandoned in front of the animal shelter in Svilos in early 2025. He now lives in Upper Austria and is waiting for a family with whom he can stay forever. Odin is a very friendly, approachable, and people-oriented male dog who forms bonds incredibly quickly. He has absolutely no fear of human contact and is also deeply fond of his canine companions thanks to his peaceful nature. He loves spending his life by his humans’ side; he enjoys being petted and thoroughly relishes long walks. Odin walks very nicely on a leash. He eagerly accepts treats, which makes him highly responsive and easy to train. Odin gets along wonderfully with other dogs, but cats, on the other hand, are exceptionally intriguing to him—and it would probably take some time for him to get used to these furry felines. He also still needs to learn how to be left alone, so a household with several people, preferably including children of school age, would be ideal. Odin is a very fit fellow, though he occasionally exhibits a slightly altered gait (his movements sometimes appear uncoordinated), which stems from an old injury. Nose work or mantrailing would certainly provide him with a welcome change of pace and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. The male dog’s shoulder height is 57 cm, and he weighs approximately 25 kg.

📍 Aktueller Aufenthaltsort: Oberösterreich Odin ist ein im März 2017 geborener, kastrierter Mischlingsrüde (möglicherweise Pudelpointer), der Anfang 2025 vor dem Tierheim in Svilos ausgesetzt wurde. Er lebt nun in Oberösterreich und wartet auf eine Familie, bei der er für immer bleiben darf. Odin ist ein sehr freundlicher, zugänglicher und menschenbezogener Rüde, der sich unglaublich schnell bindet. Er hat keinerlei Berührungsängste und ist auch Artgenossen mit seiner friedlichen Art sehr zugetan. Sein Leben verbringt er am liebsten an der Seite seiner Menschen, er lässt sich gerne streicheln und genießt ausgedehnte Spaziergänge. Odin geht sehr brav an der Leine. Leckerlis nimmt er motiviert an, was ihn gut ansprechbar macht. Odin verträgt sich ausgezeichnet mit anderen Hunden, Katzen sind hingegen ausgesprochen interessant für ihn und es würde wahrscheinlich einige Zeit in Anspruch nehmen, bis er sich an die Samtpfoten gewöhnt hat.Auch das Alleinbleiben muss noch gelernt werden, daher wäre ein Mehrpersonenhaushalt, gerne auch mit Kindern im Schulalter, ideal. Odin ist ein sehr fitter Zeitgenosse, er zeigt allerdings zeitweise ein leicht verändertes Gangbild (Bewegung sieht manchmal unkoordiniert aus), welches von einer alten Verletzung herrührt. Nasenarbeit oder Mantrailing wäre sicherlich eine willkommene Abwechslung und Auslastung für ihn. Die Schulterhöhe des Rüden beträgt 57 cm und er wiegt ca. 25 kg.

About Odin

What life with Odin looks like

Odin is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Care Austria in Wien.

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.
