Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Labrador castrated male, born December 2022 Height: 58 cm | Weight: 30 kg Children: see text | Cats: unknown | Dogs: yes vaccinated | chipped free of charge This animal can be adopted after suitable space is found and sufficient familiarization. Otto is a Labrador male born in December 2022, who came to the animal shelter with 3 other dogs as part of an official takeover. The dogs lived with their previous owner in a rural area in a house with a garden. They probably did not get to know much outside their garden. The handsome male and the 3 other dogs have now caught up on a lot in the animal shelter and now enjoy walking on a leash. Otto is quite open and clingy with trusted people, but needs a bit of time to warm up to strangers. He is not a typical "good-natured Labi", but in new and unfamiliar situations he is a bit shy and cautious. Otto is looking for patient and preferably already dog-experienced people who can offer him security and a stable environment. He gets into the car bravely and is also well accustomed to the muzzle. We are looking for a home for him in a rural area without small children. Otto had to be treated for heartworm infection at the animal shelter. This treatment is now completed and Otto shows no further complaints, but monthly application of a parasite remedy (e.g. Advocate Spot On) is recommended for further prophylaxis.

Labrador kastrierter Rüde, geb. 12/2022 Höhe: 58 cm | Gewicht: 30 kg Kinder: siehe Text | Katzen: unbekannt | Hunde: ja geimpft | gechipt vergabefrei Dieses Tier kann bei passendem Platz nach ausreichendem Kennenlernen adoptiert werden. Otto ist ein im Dezember 2022 geborener Labrador-Rüde, der gemeinsam mit 3 anderen Hunden im Zuge einer behördlichen Abnahme ins Tierheim kam. Die Hunde lebten beim Vorbesitzer im ländlichen Bereich in einem Haus mit Garten. Sie dürften außerhalb ihres Gartens vermutlich nicht viel kennengelernt haben. Der hübsche Rüde und die 3 anderen Hunde haben bei uns im Tierheim jetzt einiges nachgeholt und gehen mittlerweile gern und brav an der Leine spazieren. Otto ist bei ihm vertrauen Personen recht offen und anlehnungsbedürftig, braucht bei fremden Menschen aber ein bisschen Zeit, um aufzutauen. Er ist kein typischer „gute-Laune-Labi“, sondern in neuen und fremden Situationen eher ein bisschen schüchtern und vorsichtig. Otto sucht geduldige und im besten Fall bereits hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit und ein stabiles Umfeld bieten können. Er steigt brav ins Auto ein und ist auch gut an den Maulkorb gewöhnt. Wir suchen für ihn ein Zuhause im ländlichen Bereich ohne kleine Kinder. Otto musste im Tierheim aufgrund einer Herzwurm-Infektion behandelt werden. Diese Behandlung ist mittlerweile abgeschlossen und Otto zeigt keinerlei Beschwerden mehr, zur weiteren Prophylaxe wird aber monatlich die Anwendung eines Parasitenmittels (z.B. Advocate Spot On) empfohlen.

About Otto

What life with Otto looks like

Otto is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierheim Dechanthof in Mistelbach.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇦🇹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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Otto, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Otto?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Dechanthof handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Otto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Otto if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Dechanthof 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Otto already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most cats 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 Otto 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 Tierheim Dechanthof early rather than rehoming privately; they know Otto 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.
