How do I contact the shelter about Rex?

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

Can I adopt Rex 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 Rex 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 Rex 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 Rex 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.

Rex

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

A sensitive, eager-to-learn male German Shepherd mix, neutered, born in January 2020, just over knee-high, not dog-friendly, cat-friendly, not suitable for households with children. Rex, a people-oriented 2020-born German Shepherd mix, is friendly to humans at our shelter. Unfortunately, other dogs are not friends of Rex, but he walks past them politely, is easily approachable and is always rewarded by us, as he has been reported by the previous owner to have bullied other dogs. The affectionate guy is house-trained, knows the harness and walks politely on a leash. Rex knows basic commands, rides the car politely and, according to the previous owner, also gets along well with cats. In his last home, there was a bite incident with a stranger in the garden. He lived there in a separate area of the garden. Therefore, we are looking for a home for Rex with a garden in the countryside.

„Sensibler, lernfreudiger Rüde Rasse: Schäfer-Mischling Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Januar 2020 Größe: knapp über kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: nein Mit Katzen verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: Haus mit Garten am Land Der menschenbezogene, 2020 geborene Schäfer-Mischlingsrüde Rex zeigt sich bei uns im Tierheim menschenfreundlich. Andere Hunde gehören leider nicht zu Rex Freunden, er geht aber brav an ihnen vorbei, ist dabei gut ansprechbar und wird dabei von uns immer belohnt, da er lt. Vorbesitzer andere Hunde angepöbelt hat. Der bei uns anhängliche Kerl ist stubenrein, kennt das Brustgeschirr und geht brav an der Leine. Rex kennt die Grundkommandos, fährt brav im Auto mit und verträgt sich lt. Vorbesitzer auch gut mit Katzen. In seinem letzten Zuhause kam es im Garten mit einer fremden Person zu einem Bissvorfall. Er lebte dort die letzte Zeit in einem abgetrennten Bereich im Garten. Daher suchen wir für Rex ein Zuhause mit Garten am Land.“

About Rex

What life with Rex looks like

Rex is a 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.
