Polly

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Hello, my name is Polly! I ended up at the animal shelter during an official inspection, and now I’m ready to move out into the big wide world. I’m a very friendly and enthusiastic dog. I always look forward to meeting new people. Plus, I’m very active and love long walks in the countryside. I travel comfortably in the car, get along well with most other dogs after a short introduction period, and walk nicely on a leash. From a health perspective, I appear completely healthy and unremarkable. I’m looking for a home with loving, sporty people who have plenty of time for me and would like to spend lots of time exploring the outdoors together. Children should be a bit older; it’s fine if you already have a dog living with you. Would you like to give me a loving home? Then please get in touch! Your Polly

Hallo,Ich heiße Polly!Im Zuge einer behördlichen Abnahme kam ich ins Tierheim und jetzt bin ich bereit in die große weite Welt auszuziehen.Ich bin eine sehr freundliche und überschwängliche Hündin. Ich freue mich immer neue Menschen kennenzulernen. Außerdem bin ich sehr aktiv und liebe ausgedehnte Spaziergänge im Grünen. Ich fahre entspannt im Auto mit, bin mit den meisten anderen Hunden gut verträglich nach einer kurzen Kennenlernphase und gehe brav an der Leine.Gesundheitlich zeige ich mich unauffällig.Ich suche ein Zuhause bei lieben und sportlichen Menschen die viel Zeit für mich haben und viel mit mir unterwegs sein möchten. Kinder sollten schon ein wenig größer sein, gerne kann bei dir schon ein Hund wohnen.Willst du mir ein Plätzchen schenken?Dann melde dich bitte!Deine Polly

About Polly

What life with Polly looks like

Polly is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein St. Pölten in St. Pölten.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Polly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Polly?
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 Polly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Polly 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 Polly 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 Polly 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 Polly 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.
