How do I contact the shelter about Ria?

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

Can I adopt Ria 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 Ria 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 Ria 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 Ria 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.

Ria

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Playful pup who’s still young at heart Date of birth: June 2020 Height: just over knee-high Good with other dogs: depends on mutual liking Children in the same household: possible with steady, confident children Looking for a home: house with a garden in a quiet suburban or rural area The affectionate, mixed-breed female dog Ria, born in 2020, is friendly toward people and can be placed with steady, confident children. With other dogs, it all comes down to mutual sympathy. This female dog is very food-motivated—making her highly trainable—but you’ll need to keep an eye on her around kids to ensure she doesn’t sneak any snacks. Ria is accustomed to wearing a chest harness, walks nicely on a leash, is house-trained here at the shelter, and displays terrier-like behavior, especially strong prey drive and a fondness for jumping up high. Since Ria previously lived on a farm, we’re seeking a home with a garden in a quiet suburban or rural location for this playful female dog.

„Verspielter immer-noch-Jungspund Geburtsdatum: Juni 2020 Größe: knapp über kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: nach Sympathie Kinder im selben Haushalt: standfeste Kinder möglich Zuhause gesucht: Haus mit Garten am ruhigen Stadtrand oder Land Die liebe, 2020 geborene Mischlingshündin Ria ist menschenfreundlich und kann auch zu standfesten Kindern vergeben werden. Bei anderen Hunden entscheidet die Sympathie. Die Hündin ist sehr verfressen – daher ist sie fürs Training gut motivierbar, bei Kindern muss man ein Auge auf sie haben, damit sie nichts stibitzt. Ria kennt Brustgeschirr und geht brav an der Leine, ist bei uns stubenrein und zeigt sich vom Verhalten Terrier-ähnlich, v.a. Jagdverhalten und springt gern hoch. Da Ria auf einem Bauernhof gelebt hat, suchen wir für die verspielte Hündin ein Zuhause mit Garten am ruhigen Stadtrand oder Land.“

About Ria

What life with Ria looks like

Ria 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.
