Rocco

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 6 years

So beschreibt ihn das bisherige Zuhause:Rocco ist ein sehr freundlicher, immer gut gelaunter grauer Labrador mit grünen Augen. Er ist mit seiner Schwester aufgewachsen, da gab es viel Energie. Wenn er alleine ist, verhält er sich ruhig und ausgeglichen, mit seiner Schwester schaukeln sich die beiden stark auf. Nach Beschäftigung oder Bewegung liegt er gerne und ruht sich aus. Gewitter und Silvester stressen ihn nicht, er geht bis jetzt nicht ins Wasser, ist kastriert und war ein Jahr lang in der Hundeschule, danach folgte Training mit Trainern. Rocco lässt sich leicht ablenken und es fällt ihm schwer, sich zu konzentrieren. Lerneinheiten absolviert er sehr gut, allerdings hat er Probleme damit, das Gelernte in Alltagssituationen zu übertragen. Bis auf die Kastration gab es keine Operationen oder Krankheiten, als Welpe hatte er einen Nabelbruch. Der Grund der Abgabe ist eine gewalttätige Beziehung, die mich für mehrere Wochen ins Krankenhaus gebracht hat. Ich bin jetzt zu Hause, habe aber mehrere gebrochene Rippen und kann Rocco nicht ausführen. Seine Schwester konnte ich vorerst bei meinen Eltern unterbringen, ihn trauen sie sich aber nicht zu. Es steht mir ein Umzug bevor und ein straffer Arbeitsplan, wenn ich mich wieder bewegen kann.

About Rocco

What life with Rocco looks like

Rocco is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierzuflucht in Austria.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rocco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rocco?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierzuflucht handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rocco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rocco if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierzuflucht 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 Rocco 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 Rocco 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 Tierzuflucht early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rocco 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.
