Rocky

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Den Blick immer nach vorn gerichtet – Rocky, der Optimist! Rocky ist ein echter Charmeur und liebt es, Frauen um sich zu haben. Er scheint sich von ihnen besonders angezogen zu fühlen und genießt ihre Gesellschaft. Bei Männern dauert es länger, bis er ihnen Vertrauen schenkt und die ersten Treffen, sind skeptischer. Wer weiß, was er in seiner Vergangenheit erleben musste… Rocky ist 2014 zur Welt gekommen und war sein ganzes Leben immer mit einem kleineren, vierbeinigen Freund zusammen. Trotzdem möchte er lieber ohne Artgenossen leben. Spaziergänge in der Gruppe mit Abstand sind kein Problem. Neugierig und voller Entdeckungslust, ist Rocky immer bereit für neue Abenteuer. Er liebt es, die Welt zu erkunden und würde sich über lange Spaziergänge freuen, bei denen er all die aufregenden Gerüche und Sehenswürdigkeiten genießen kann. Rocky ist ein Hund, der gerne aktiv ist und die Möglichkeit hat, seine Energie zu entfalten. Er freut sich über jedes einzelne Leckerli, das ihm angeboten wird, und sein Körper wabbelt dann vor Freude hin und her! Mit dieser Motivation ist er ein hervorragender Kandidat für weitere Trainingseinheiten und das Erlernen neuer Tricks. Rocky würde sich sehr wohl bei einer Bezugsperson fühlen, die gerne spazieren geht und ihn nicht nur auf der Couch dösen lassen möchte. Ein Garten wäre toll, ist aber kein Muss.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇦🇹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 Rocky, answered.

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