Talo

Akita · Male · Adult · 8 years

This handsome male is our Talo. Talo is a lively and curious dog. The lad loves spending lots of time in nature and finds it terribly boring to be stuck in his enclosure alone. That is why he enjoys walks all the more. Once he trusts someone, he is people-oriented and allows petting on his own terms. He is very playful and loves every kind of toy. His favorite is his chewed-up football. He knows all the basic commands impeccably and walks quite well on the leash. Talo is looking for a home with a garden (ideally) and with people who can read his dog language well.

Dieser stattliche Rüde ist unser Talo. Talo ist ein aufgeweckter und neugieriger Hund. Der Bub möchte viel Zeit in der Natur verbringen und findet es schrecklich langweilig, nur in seinem Gehege zu sein. Deswegen genießt er Spaziergänge umso mehr. Vertraut er jemandem ist er menschenbezogen und lässt Streicheleinheiten nach seinen Bedingungen zu. Er ist sehr verspielt und liebt jede Art von Spielzeug. Am liebsten hat er seinen zerkauten Fußball. Er kann alle Grundkommandos tadellos und läuft ganz gut an der Leine Talo sucht ein Zuhause mit Garten (Im Idealfall) und mit Menschen, die seine Hundesprache gut lesen können.

About Talo

What life with Talo looks like

Talo is an extra-large adult akita dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Shelters often include spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations, but confirm with the shelter what your adoption covers.

Frequently asked

Adopting Talo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Talo?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierheim Arche Noah handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Talo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Talo if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierheim Arche Noah whether they will for Talo, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Talo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Talo. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierheim Arche Noah, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Talo isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierheim Arche Noah about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Talo 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.
