How do I contact the shelter about Pinto?

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 Pinto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Pinto 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 Pinto 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 Pinto 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 Pinto 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.

Pinto

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Gender: male, neutered Date of Birth: January 2020 Gets along with dogs: yes Children in the same household: possible after school age Wants a home: on the outskirts of town or in the countryside The loving, 2020-born Dalmatian-male dog Pinto is people-friendly and can also be rehomed with children after school age. He is also well-suited to live with other dogs. Pinto was able to spend some time alone in his previous home, knows basic commands, and rides calmly in the car. Learning to walk on a loose leash is something Pinto still needs to learn with reward-oriented training in small steps. Pinto has an artificial urinary opening; while he is house-trained, he does lose some urine, especially when standing up or lying down. Due to the artificial urinary opening, he will need to take medication for life and requires special food. For this handsome fellow, we are looking for a home on the outskirts of town or in the countryside.

Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Januar 2020 Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: ab Schulalter möglich Zuhause gesucht: am Stadtrand oder Land Der liebe, 2020 geborene Dalmatiner-Rüde Pinto ist menschenfreundlich und kann auch Kindern ab Schulalter vermittelt werden. Auch mit Hunden ist er gut verträglich. Pinto konnte in seinem bisherigen Zuhause kurze Zeit alleine bleiben, er kennt die Grundkommandos und fährt brav im Auto mit. Das Gehen an der lockeren Leine möchte Pinto noch mittels belohnungsorientiertem Training in kleinen Schritten erlernen. Pinto hat einen künstlichen Harnausgang, er ist zwar stubenrein, verliert aber etwas Urin v.a. beim Aufstehen/Hinlegen. Durch den künstlichen Harnausgang muss er lebenslang Medikamente erhalten und benötigt Spezialfutter. Für den hübschen Kerl suchen wir ein Zuhause am Stadtrand oder Land.“

About Pinto

What life with Pinto looks like

Pinto is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Austria 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.
