Adopt Shrimpy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

"Shy Sensibelchen" Gender: male, neutered Date of Birth: September 2021 Size: just under knee-high Compatible with other dogs: no Children in the same household: no Home sought: countryside The shy, 2021-born mixed-breed male dog Shrimpy requires a getting-to-know-you phase with people to build trust. Unfortunately, other dogs do not belong to his friends. Shrimpy is house-trained with us and already knows the harness; he also walks nicely on a leash. For Shy Sensibelchen, we are looking for a home in the countryside. Should a garden be available, it must be escape-proof, or Shrimpy should not be left unsupervised there.

„Schüchternes Sensibelchen“ Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: September 2021 Größe: knapp unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: nein Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: Land Der schüchterne, 2021 geborene Mischlingsrüde Shrimpy benötigt bei Menschen eine Kennenlernphase, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Andere Hunde gehören leider nicht zu seinen Freunden. Shrimpy ist bei uns stubenrein, kennt bereits das Brustgeschirr und geht brav an der Leine. Für das Schüchti suchen wir ein Zuhause am Land. Sollte ein Garten vorhanden sein, so muss dieser ausbruchsicher sein bzw. sollte Shrimpy dort nicht unbeaufsichtigt gelassen werden.

About Shrimpy

What life with Shrimpy looks like

Shrimpy is a medium-sized 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Shrimpy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shrimpy?
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 Shrimpy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shrimpy 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 Shrimpy 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 Shrimpy 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 Shrimpy 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.
