How do I contact the shelter about Slotty?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Dornbirn handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Slotty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Slotty if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Dornbirn 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 Slotty 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 Slotty 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 Dornbirn early rather than rehoming privately; they know Slotty 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.

Slotty

Mixed Breed · Male · 3 years

Playful, energetic dog seeking his humans! Slotty is a cheerful soul. Once he knows someone well, this wonderful boy is up for any fun. However, he's initially very suspicious of strangers and will eye them critically. Once you've earned his trust, you can do anything with this happy mixed breed. He'll go through thick and thin with his humans! His ideal family consists of one or two people. We're seeking experienced, active owners who will give him the time he needs to open up and reveal his wonderful character and cheerful side. He tends to guard his resources, so a child-free household is preferred. He wants to be the center of attention as the only pet. Other animals wouldn't be tolerated. He's generally friendly with other dogs during encounters, but can stand his ground if another dog acts rudely. His joy when playing and running is truly infectious! Slotty wants to always be by your side - a truly loyal soul.

Verspielter, energievoller Bub sucht seine Menschen 🌞 Slotty die Frohnatur 😊. Sobald er jemanden gut kennt, ist der tolle Bub für wirklich jeden Spaß zu haben. Bei fremden Menschen ist er allerdings anfangs sehr misstrauisch, da wird man erstmal kritisch betrachtet. Hat man es dann jedoch in seinen Kreis des Vertrauens geschafft, kann man wirklich alles mit dem fröhlichen Mischling machen. Mit seinen Menschen geht er durch dick und dünn! Seine Idealvorstellung von Familie? – Mit einem oder zwei Menschen im Team 😊. Daher suchen wir für ihn erfahrene und aktive Halter, die ihm die Zeit geben, die er braucht, bis er sich einem öffnet und seinen tollen Charakter und seine fröhliche Seite offenbart. Auch neigt er dazu, seine Ressourcen zu verteidigen, ein Daheim in einem kinderlosen Haushalt wird daher bevorzugt. Und natürlich möchte solch ein prächtiger Junge die vollkommene Aufmerksamkeit genießen, er einzig und alleine 😊. Infolgedessen sollten in seinem neuen Zuhause keine anderen Tiere vorhanden sein, bzw. würden diese von Slotty wohl nicht geduldet werden. Hunden gegenüber ist er bei Begegnungen generell recht freundlich, kommt ihm ein Artgenosse „blöd“, kann er aber schon auch Paroli bieten. So einen tollen Kerl hat man aber ja auch nicht anzublöffen 😉. Seine Freude beim Spielen und Rennen ist richtig ansteckend! Slotty ist einer der Sorte Hund, welcher am liebsten immer an Deiner Seite sein möchte. Eine richtig treue Seele ♥️. Tierpflegerin Jasmine Seine Freude beim Spielen und Rennen ist richtig ansteckend!

About Slotty

What life with Slotty looks like

Slotty is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Dornbirn in Dornbirn.

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.

Note from the shelter: Resource guarding behavior, needs to be only pet, requires experienced handlers

🇦🇹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.
