Suki

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Suki seems to have had little contact with people before her intake at our shelter, and has likely not accumulated only positive experiences. She approaches people with a certain shyness and mistrust. The female dog was found running free and could only be secured using a live trap. Since her intake at our shelter, she has made many positive experiences with people, but Suki still prefers to keep her distance. If this distance is not respected, she may react with defensive behavior in a "crisis" situation. She is also very stressed by new situations, environmental stimuli, and everyday noises. Due to her minimal socialization, we are looking for people who already have experience in the husbandry of insecure dogs and are willing to give Suki the time and distance she needs. The further accompaniment by a tiereschutzqualifizierted specialist is recommended. Suki shows good compatibility with other dogs and is strongly influenced by their behavior. Therefore, a confident second dog in the new home would be very beneficial for her. Suki would be very happy with a secured home with a garden.

DE·Show original

Suki dürfte vor ihrer Aufnahme im Sonnenhof kaum Kontakt zu Menschen gehabt und dabei nicht nur positive Erfahrungen gesammelt haben. Sie tritt Menschen entsprechend scheu und misstrauisch entgegen. Die Hundedame wurde freilaufend aufgefunden und konnte nur mittels Lebendfalle gesichert werden. Seit ihrer Aufnahme im Sonnenhof hat sie zwar viele positive Erfahrungen mit Menschen gemacht, Suki bevorzugt es aber, auf Abstand zu bleiben. Wenn dieser nicht respektiert wird, kann sie im „Notfall“ auch mit Abwehrverhalten reagieren. Auch neue Situationen, Umweltreize und Alltagsgeräusche stressen sie sehr. Aufgrund ihrer kaum vorhandenen Sozialisation suchen wir für Suki Menschen, die bereits Erfahrung in der Haltung von unsicheren Hunden haben und der Hündin die nötige Zeit geben und Distanz entgegenbringen möchten, die sie benötigt. Die weitere Begleitung durch eine tierschutzqualifizierte Fachperson ist empfehlenswert. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt sich Suki gut verträglich und sie orientiert sich auch stark an deren Verhalten. Deshalb würde ihr ein souveräner Zweithund im neuen Zuhause sehr gut tun. Suki würde sich über ein gesichertes Zuhause mit Garten sehr freuen.

About Suki

What life with Suki looks like

Suki is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Sonnenhof Eisenstadt (Sonnentiere) in Austria.

An young 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 Suki, answered.

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