How do I contact the shelter about Okapi?

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

Can I adopt Okapi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Windhunde in Not 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 Okapi 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 Okapi 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 Windhunde in Not early rather than rehoming privately; they know Okapi 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.

Adopt Okapi

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Adoption assistance: Anyone who has a place for this handsome boy, please contact the owner directly. The 10-year-old Greyhound Okapi, chemically neutered until April, is looking for a new home. Due to a family addition, he is not getting the attention he needs and is now searching for a new start. He is appropriately calm for his age and gets along well with small dogs. With large dogs, it depends on the chemistry, but he remains manageable. Generally, he is a friendly dog but needs guidance, so having an existing dog in the new family would be ideal. Okapi requires a lot of closeness and attention, which is typical for a Greyhound—this is something he demands! It's important to be able to provide him with clear daily routines. His prey drive is not strongly pronounced, but there should be no cats in the new home. The boy has early-stage cataracts and chronic eye inflammation. He receives daily drops that help with the redness. The current family would like to continue covering the veterinary costs.

Vermittlungshilfe: Wer ein Plätzchen für den hübschen Bub hat, möge bitte den Besitzer direkt kontaktieren, . Der 10-jährige Greyhound Okapi, chem. kastriert bis April, sucht ein neues Zuhause. Durch Familienzuwachs bekommt er nicht mehr die Aufmerksamkeit, die er benötigt und macht sich nun auf die Suche. Er ist dem Alter entsprechend ruhig und versteht sich gut mit kleinen Hunden. Bei großen Hunden entscheidet die Sympathie, er bleibt jedoch regulierbar. Generell ist er ein freundlicher Hund, benötigt jedoch Orientierung, sodass ein vorhandener Hund in der neuen Familie ideal wäre. Okapi benötigt Windhund typisch viel Nähe und Aufmerksamkeit - diese fordert er auch ein! Hier ist es wichtig ihm klare Tagesabläufe geben zu können. Sein Jagdtrieb ist wohl nicht mehr stark ausgeprägt, jedoch sollten im neuen Zuhause keine Katzen. Der Bub hat beginnenden Grauen Star und eine chronische Entzündung der Augen. Er bekommt täglich Tropfen, die gegen die Rötung gut helfen. Hier möchte die aktuelle Familie weiterhin für die Tierarztkosten aufkommen.

About Okapi

What life with Okapi looks like

Okapi is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Windhunde in Not in Österreich.

An 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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
