Oggy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Sweet – once he knows you Sex: male, neutered Date of birth: April 2014 Size: under knee height Dog-friendly: ignores dogs Children in the same household: no Home sought: outskirts of town or countryside The sweet mixed-breed senior Oggy, born in 2014, can be loving and friendly—but only if he’s been given enough time to get to know unfamiliar people slowly and without pressure. If someone is too impatient, he can become reactive; due to this tendency, there has already been one biting incident in his past. Therefore, interested adopters must be willing to visit Oggy multiple times. Additionally, Oggy tends to guard resources—for example, shoes. He ignores other dogs, walks right past them, and does his own thing. He’s familiar with a harness and leash, walks nicely on-leash, and is house-trained here at the shelter. We’re looking for a home on the outskirts of town or in the countryside for this little doggy grandpa.

„Lieb – wenn er dich kennt Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: April 2014 Größe: unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: ignoriert Hunde Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: Stadtrand oder Land Der liebe, 2014 geborene Mischlings-Opi Oggy kann lieb und freundlich sein – dies ist aber nur gewährleistet, wenn er fremde Personen auch langsam kennen lernen konnte ohne bedrängt zu werden. Ist man zu ungeduldig, geht er durchaus nach vorne – in seiner Vergangenheit kam es deshalb bereits zu einem Beißvorfall. Deshalb müssen Interessenten bereit sein, Oggy mehrmals zu besuchen. Darüber hinaus neigt Oggy auch dazu, Ressourcen zu verteidigen, z.B. Schuhe. Andere Hunde ignoriert er, geht an ihnen vorbei und macht sein eigenes Ding. Er kennt Brustgeschirr und Leine, geht auch brav an der Leine und ist bei uns stubenrein. Für den kleinen Hunde-Opa suchen wir ein Zuhause am Stadtrand oder Land.“

About Oggy

What life with Oggy looks like

Oggy is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Austria in Vienna.

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 Oggy, answered.

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