How do I contact the shelter about Rocky?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum 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 — TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum 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 TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum 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.

Rocky

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior

Rocky: My life has changed quite a bit. My owner could no longer take care of me and now I'm waiting in the animal shelter for a new home. Although I sometimes look like I'm always grumpy - it's just because of my underbite. Actually, I still enjoy life to the fullest and have my nose up front when sniffing. What Rocky needs: A quiet home with people who can read his body language and give him the time and space he needs. Comfortable walks, a soft spot and people who accept him as he is. What Rocky doesn't need: Haste or people who don't take his boundaries seriously. Small children should not live in the new home either. Rocky isn't looking for any more hustle - but people who want to give beautiful years to an lovable senior with edges and corners. Wouldn't you be that dog senior?

, FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 Uhr _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler Körperlich gemütlich, geistig fit. Meinem Alter entsprechend bin ich der ruhige Typ. Ich freue mich auf gemeinsame Spaziergänge, damit ich fit bleibe - die können mal etwas kürzer, aber je nach Tagesverfassung auch gerne mal länger ausfallen. Kleine Denk- und Suchaufgaben machen mir immer noch Spaß. Lange Nickerchen in deiner Nähe genieße ich besonders. Das sagt Rocky: Mein Leben hat sich ganz schön verändert. Mein Besitzer konnte sich nicht mehr um mich kümmern und jetzt warte ich im Tierheim auf ein neues Zuhause. Ich schaue zwar manchmal aus, als wäre ich ständig schlecht gelaunt – aber das liegt nur an meinem Vorbiss. Eigentlich genieße ich das Leben noch in vollen Zügen und habe beim Schnüffeln die Nase immer ganz vorne. Was Rocky braucht: Ein ruhiges Zuhause bei Menschen, die seine Körpersprache lesen können und ihm die Zeit und den Freiraum geben, den er braucht. Gemütliche Spaziergänge, ein weiches Plätzchen und Menschen, die ihn so nehmen, wie er ist. Was Rocky nicht braucht: Hektik oder Menschen, die seine Grenzen nicht ernst nehmen. Auch kleine Kinder sollten nicht im neuen Zuhause leben. Rocky sucht keinen Trubel mehr – sondern Menschen, die einem liebenswerten Senior mit Ecken und Kanten noch schöne Jahre schenken möchten. Na, wär der Hundesenior was für dich? Ihre Spende wird zweckgemäß und sparsam eingesetzt. Bitte unterstützen Sie uns mit dem Kauf von Futterspenden! Adresse und wie Sie am besten zu uns finden.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum in Klagenfurt.

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.
