Oliver

Chihuahua · Male · Adult · 8 years

Hallöchen,Mein Name ist Oliver. Im Zuge einer behördlichen Abnahme kam ich ins Tierheim und suche jetzt mein Lotto6er Zuhause.Ich bin ein sehr freundlicher und sanfter Rüde. Auf fremde Menschen gehe ich offen zu, möchte aber in neuen Situationen ein wenig Zeit bekommen um mich einzufinden. Wenn viel Trubel herrscht ziehe ich mich eher zurück und blühe bei Entspannung richtig auf. Ich liebe Kuschelstunden, ausgedehnte Spaziergänge und bin mit anderen Hunden und Katzen gut verträglich.Gesundheitlich zeige ich mich weitestgehend unauffällig, aufgrund meines Alters weise ich schon Zahnstein auf, hier wäre in den nach dem Sommer eine Zahnsanierung notwendig, bevor ich Probleme bekomme. Ich suche ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne viel Trubel wo man viel Zeit für mich hat, gerne auch bei rüstigen Senioren. Auch darf schon ein entspannter Hund bei dir wohnen, ansonsten bin ich auch mit einem Einzelplatz bestimmt sehr glücklich. Katzen sind kein Problem.Willst du zukünftig jeden Abend mit mir auf dem Sofa kuscheln?Dann melde dich!Dein Oliver

About Oliver

What life with Oliver looks like

Oliver is a adult chihuahua dog waiting at Tierschutzverein St. Pölten in St. Pölten.

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 Oliver, answered.

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