Adopt Sophie

Mixed Breed · Female

Sofie was brought to our managed animal shelter in Szeged from an animal shelter closure in Hungary—otherwise, she would have been euthanized. We unfortunately do not know why she was given up there. Sofie likely has a bit of Bull Terrier blood in her veins and lives up to her name: she is a true Terrier who loves when something happens in the world. Patience is not her strength, but with consistent training, this can certainly be improved. The poor canine soul, who is just five years old, has already been waiting for two years at the shelter for someone to give her a chance at a new life filled with love and by the side of a human. It would be a shame to confine such an animal to a cage for the rest of its life. We are happy to arrange visits to the animal shelter and allow you to personally meet the animal. However, the transport and processing will be handled through our organization. We are looking for Bull Terrier enthusiasts who know about Terriers and are willing to invest the necessary time in her. Sofie is lively and athletic, but will gradually adapt to daily life and become more calm—like a normal dog that is familiar with our routines. We can envision her well in an active, athletic family. She is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.

Sofie wurde aufgrund einer Tierheimschließung in Ungarn in das von uns betreute Tierheim nach Szeged gebracht - ansonsten wäre sie getötet worden. Warum sie dort abgegeben wurde, wissen wir leider nicht. Sofie hat bestimmt ein wenig Bullterrier Blut in ihren Adern und macht ihrem Namen alle Ehre: Sie ist ein echter Terrier, der es liebt, wenn etwas passiert auf dieser Welt. Warten ist nicht ihre Stärke, aber mit etwas konsequentem Training lässt sich das sicher leicht verbessern. Die arme Hundeseele mit gerade mal 5 Jahren sitzt bereits seit 2 Jahren und wartet auf jemanden, der ihr die Chance auf ein Weiterleben in Liebe und an der Seite eines Menschen bieten kann. Es wäre schade, so ein Tier sein Leben lang im Zwinger fristen zu lassen.Gerne können auch Besuche vorort im Tierheim arrangiert werden und sie können das Tier persönlich vorort kennenlernen. Den Transport sowie die Abwicklung erfolgt jedoch über unseren Verein. Gesucht werden Terrierliebhaber, speziell Bullterrier, die über Terrier bescheid wissen und auch die nötige Zeit in sie investieren wollen. Sofie ist aufgeweckt und sportlich, wird sich aber im Laufe der Zeit an den Alltag gewöhnen und ruhiger werden - wie halt ein normaler Hund, der unsere Abläufe bereits kennt. Wir können sie uns gut in einer aktiven, sportlichen Familie vorstellen. Sie geimpft gechipt und kastriert. Bitte wenden sie sich für nähere Informationen und die weiteren Vermittlungsschritte an Gabriele Klinger Spitzenberger unter

About Sophie

What life with Sophie looks like

Sophie is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Hallein in Hallein.

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 Sophie, answered.

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