Shiva

Female · Puppy · 4 months

The little Shiva, a roughly 4-month-old Shar-Pei puppy, is on the lookout for a stable and loving home where she can feel safe and continue to develop. She is an energetic, friendly puppy girl who spreads good cheer with her playful nature right away. Shiva shows curiosity, openness, and a very people-oriented disposition. At the same time, she needs people who can help her understand the world with patience, calm guidance, and a steady hand. Since she is still young, she needs to be gradually introduced to walking on a leash and she looks forward to people who enjoy practicing with her and giving her support. Whoever gives Shiva a home wins a loyal companion who wants to go through thick and thin with her people.

DE·Show original

Die kleine Shiva, eine etwa 4 Monate alte Shar-Pei-Welpin, ist auf der Suche nach einem beständigen und liebevollen Zuhause, in dem sie sich sicher fühlen und weiterentwickeln kann. Sie ist ein aufgewecktes, freundliches Hundemädchen, das mit ihrer verspielten Art sofort gute Laune verbreitet. Shiva zeigt sich neugierig, offen und sehr menschenbezogen. Gleichzeitig braucht sie Menschen, die ihr mit Ruhe, Geduld und klarer Führung helfen, die Welt zu verstehen. Da sie noch jung ist, muss sie schrittweise an das Laufen an der Leine herangeführt werden und freut sich über Menschen, die Freude daran haben, mit ihr zu üben und ihr Halt zu geben. Wer Shiva ein Zuhause schenkt, gewinnt eine treue Begleiterin, die mit ihren Menschen durch dick und dünn gehen möchte.

About Shiva

What life with Shiva looks like

Shiva is a puppy/kitten dog waiting at Landestierschutzverein Steiermark in Graz.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇦🇹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 Shiva, answered.

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