How do I contact the shelter about Pokey?

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

Can I adopt Pokey if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hund sucht Hütte 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 Pokey 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 Pokey 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 Hund sucht Hütte early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pokey 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.

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

💙 Pokey 💙 MAR (TANJ) 📍 Location: Croatia near Slavonski Brod - can be visited at any time on-site ✨ Born: ca. 10 January 2023 ⚖️ Weight & Size: ca. 24 kg | 52 cm 💉 Health: microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, EU pet passport present 🤝 Compatibility with others: Loves people and children, gets along well with dogs (male dogs decide by sympathy), neutral towards cats Pokeys Character 🐶 🧑‍🧑‍🧒 People-oriented & cuddly - Pokey loves people and children more than anything and enjoys every bit of attention. 🐶 Social with dogs - He gets along well with other dogs, but shows a slight dominance, especially with male dogs, where sympathy decides. 🐈 Cat-friendly - The cats in his foster home completely ignore him. 🍽 Food-special - Like many dogs who have experienced hunger, Pokey prefers to have his food for himself. 🏃‍♂️ Active & curious - Walking, discovering new things, and spending time with his people are his greatest joys. His Story 💔 Pokey had a tough start in life: He never had a real family - only "owners" who simply set him out on the street after a short time. Driven by hunger, he landed in his neighbor's chicken coop, where he, out of desperation, killed some chickens. Our animal rescuer was alerted - with the clear threat: "Either you pick up the dog right away or the hunter deals with the problem." Of course, she took him in for safety. 🍀 His Dream Home 🏡 Pokey is searching for a loving home where he can finally belong. People who bring time, love, and patience will gain a loyal, active, and cuddly companion. A foster home would already be a significant step towards a better life for him.

💙 Pokey 💙 MAR (TANJ) 📍 Aufenthaltsort: Kroatien Nähe Slavonski Brod- kann jederzeit vor Ort besucht werden ✨ Geboren: ca. 10. Januar 2023 ⚖️ Gewicht & Größe: ca. 24 kg | 52 cm 💉 Gesundheit: Gechippt, geimpft, kastriert, EU-Heimtierausweis vorhanden 🤝 Verträglichkeit: Lieb zu Menschen und Kindern, versteht sich gut mit Hunden (bei Rüden entscheidet Sympathie), Katzen gegenüber neutral Pokeys Charakter 🐶 🧑‍🧑‍🧒 Menschenbezogen & verschmust - Pokey liebt Menschen und Kinder über alles und genießt jede Aufmerksamkeit. 🐶 Sozial mit Hunden - Er versteht sich gut mit anderen Hunden, zeigt aber eine leichte Dominanz, besonders bei Rüden, wo die Sympathie entscheidet. 🐈 Katzenfreundlich - Die Katzen seiner Pflegestelle ignoriert er völlig. 🍽 Futter-Special - Wie viele Hunde, die Hunger erleben mussten, möchte Pokey sein Essen lieber für sich haben. 🏃‍♂️ Aktiv & neugierig - Spazieren gehen, Neues entdecken und Zeit mit seinen Menschen verbringen sind seine größten Freuden. Seine Geschichte 💔 Pokey hatte keinen leichten Start ins Leben: Er hatte nie eine richtige Familie - nur "Besitzer", die ihn nach kurzer Zeit einfach vor die Tür setzten. Getrieben vom Hunger, landete er im Hühnerstall des Nachbarn, wo er aus Verzweiflung einige Hühner tötete. Unsere Tierschützerin wurde alarmiert - mit der klaren Drohung: "Entweder du holst den Hund sofort ab oder der Jäger erledigt das Problem." Natürlich holte sie ihn zu sich in Sicherheit. 🍀 Sein Traumzuhause 🏡 Pokey sucht ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er endlich ankommen darf. Menschen, die Zeit, Liebe und Geduld mitbringen, werden einen treuen, aktiven und verschmusten Begleiter gewinnen. Auch eine Pflegestelle wäre schon ein wichtiger Schritt in ein besseres Leben für ihn. 🫶 Pokey sucht ein Zuhause - YouTube

About Pokey

What life with Pokey looks like

Pokey is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hund sucht Hütte in Austria.

An young 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.
