Odin

Male · Senior · 10 years

Odin - the "Inspirierte", the "Rasende" - comes from a hunting line. He has been trained to some extent, but to lead him as a hunting dog, he would still need to learn a lot more. Rats typical of male dogs can be rather independent, and if they don't want something, they can be quite stubborn. Unfortunately, it seems that his upbringing has been lacking, as Odin sometimes doesn't recognize boundaries and doesn't know when enough is enough. However, Odin is a very eager and intelligent companion who participates enthusiastically in training and has already made good progress. Further work should also be done with the male dog in his new home, as he is eager to learn new things and expects this from his owner. Although a mild hip dysplasia was diagnosed in Odin, it has not caused him any problems so far. He does not get along well with children or other animals, so they should not live in the same household – he, however, shows good compatibility with fellow animals. Odin wishes for active people who already have experience with hunting dogs and can provide him with a home with a garden.

DE·Show original

Odin - der "Inspirierte", der "Rasende" - stammt aus einer jagdlichen Linie. Er wurde zum Teil auch entsprechend ausgebildet, um ihn aber jagdlich zu führen, müsste er noch einiges lernen. Rassetypisch zeigt sich der Rüde eigenwillig und wenn er etwas nicht möchte, kann er schon ein richtiger Sturkopf sein. Leider dürfte die Erziehung bisher zu kurz gekommen sein, da Odin manchmal keine Grenzen kennt und dann auch nicht weiß, wann es genug ist. Odin ist aber ein sehr lernwilliger und intelligenter Zeitgenosse, der mit Begeisterung am Training teilnimmt und bereits gute Fortschritte erzielt hat. Auch im neuen Zuhause sollte mit dem Rüden weitergearbeitet werden, da er gerne Neues erlernt und dies auch von seinem Besitzer einfordert. Obwohl bei Odin eine leichte Hüftgelenksdysplasie festgestellt wurde, bereitet ihm diese bisher keinerlei Probleme. Mit Kindern und anderen Tieren kommt er nicht gut zurecht, weshalb diese auch nicht im gemeinsamen Haushalt leben sollten – mit Artgenossen zeigt er sich jedoch gut verträglich. Odin wünscht sich aktive Menschen, die bereits Erfahrung mit Jagdhunden haben und ihm ein Zuhause mit Garten bieten können.

About Odin

What life with Odin looks like

Odin is a senior dog waiting at Sonnenhof Eisenstadt (Sonnentiere) in Austria.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Odin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Odin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Sonnenhof Eisenstadt (Sonnentiere) 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 — Sonnenhof Eisenstadt (Sonnentiere) 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 Sonnenhof Eisenstadt (Sonnentiere) 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.
