How do I contact the shelter about Tasso?

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

Can I adopt Tasso if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum 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 Tasso 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 Tasso 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 TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tasso 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.

, FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 Uhr _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler I have seen very little in my life. Support me at a slow pace so I can build trust. It's the small steps that help me adapt to everyday life and become part of your family. This is what Tasso says: I'm still not fully grown up. Sometimes my energy surges through my whole body and then I momentarily forget how big I actually am. I like people very much and want to please—but please give me a little time to settle in. What Tasso needs: A structured home with people who enjoy working with him and who can provide him with security. Clear rules, adequate stimulation, and someone who can channel his energy in the right direction. A confident approach helps him relax and settle in. What Tasso doesn't need: Hecticness, uncertainty, or people who let him "go with the flow." Too many changing contacts—especially with men—overwhelm him at the moment. If you're looking for an active, intelligent dog and are willing to grow with him, you'll get a very loyal companion with Tasso. Now book a meeting and meet!

, FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 Uhr _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler Ich habe in meinem Leben noch nicht viel gesehen. Unterstütze mich in einem langsamen Tempo, damit ich Vertrauen fassen kann. Es sind die kleinen Schritte, dir mir helfen mich im Alltag einzufinden und Teil deiner Familie zu werden. Das sagt Tasso: Ich bin noch nicht ganz fertig mit dem Erwachsenwerden. Manchmal schießt mir die Energie durch den ganzen Körper und dann vergesse ich kurz, wie groß ich eigentlich bin. Ich mag Menschen sehr und will gefallen – aber bitte gib mir ein bisschen Zeit, um anzukommen. Was Tasso braucht: Ein strukturiertes Zuhause mit Menschen, die Spaß daran haben, mit ihm zu arbeiten und ihm Sicherheit geben. Klare Regeln, ausreichend Auslastung und jemand, der seine Energie in die richtigen Bahnen lenkt. Ein souveräner Umgang hilft ihm, sich zu entspannen und anzukommen. Was Tasso nicht braucht: Hektik, Unsicherheit oder Menschen, die ihn einfach „mitlaufen“ lassen. Zu viele wechselnde Kontakte – vor allem mit Männern – überfordern ihn derzeit noch. Wer einen aktiven, klugen Hund sucht und bereit ist, mit ihm zu wachsen, bekommt mit Tasso einen sehr treuen Begleiter. Jetzt Termin vereinbaren und kennenlernen!

About Tasso

What life with Tasso looks like

Tasso is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum in Klagenfurt.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Needs structured environment, overwhelmed by too many changing contacts especially with men, requires patient training approach

🇦🇹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.
