Paul

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Gender: male, neutered Date of Birth: September 2020 Size: under knee-high Gets along with dogs: not yet known Children in the same household: no Home sought: on the outskirts of town or in the countryside The woman-friendly, 2020-born mixed-breed male dog Paul is friendly with women, but requires a longer getting-to-know phase with men to build trust. We need to find out how he gets along with other dogs. He is still very stressed when on a leash and barks at other dogs. Also, walking on a loose leash still causes him stress, and therefore he should learn it step-by-step with reward-oriented training. The same applies to his house training. Paul shows food motivation, so quick learning in a stress-free environment should be possible. We are looking for a home for Paul on the outskirts of town or in the countryside, preferably with a single woman.

Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: September 2020 Größe: unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: noch unbekannt Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: am Stadtrand oder Land Der Frauen-freundliche, 2020 geborene Mischlingsrüde Paul ist freundlich bei Frauen, bei Männern benötigt er eine längere Kennenlernphase, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Wie er sich mit anderen Hunden verträgt, müssen wir erst in Erfahrung bringen. An der Leine reagiert er noch sehr gestresst auf andere Hunde und verbellt sie daher. Auch das Gehen an der lockeren Leine fällt ihm stressbedingt noch sehr schwer und daher möchte er es noch kleinschrittig mittels belohnungsorientiertem Training erlernen. Das gleiche gilt auch für seine Stubenreinheit. Paul zeigt sich futtermotiviert, daher sollte ein rasches Lernen in stressfreier Umgebung möglich sein. Für Paul suchen wir ein Zuhause am Stadtrand oder Land, optimalerweise bei einer alleinstehenden Frau.

About Paul

What life with Paul looks like

Paul is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Wiener Tierschutzverein in Vienna.

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 Paul, answered.

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