How do I contact the shelter about Teddy?

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 Teddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Teddy 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 Teddy 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 Teddy 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 Teddy 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.

Teddy

Australian Shepherd · Male · Senior

I am looking for a strong and intimate relationship. I love being close to my favorite person. For my well-being, I need a lot of physical contact. I enjoy being by your side and am an affectionate companion. That's what Teddy says: Much is new to me and sometimes I need a moment until I realize that everything isn't so bad. Once I have gained trust, I enjoy petting and cuddling even more. Then I prefer not to leave my human side. What Teddy needs: An active home with people who enjoy discovering the world together with him. Occupation for head and body, clear structures and enough time so that he can build trust. Then Teddy develops into a loyal companion. What Teddy doesn't need: A life on the couch or people who misunderstand his initial uncertainty. Due to his sometimes stormy nature, there should also be no small children in the household. Who gives a clever and sensitive dog the chance to settle down in peace, wins with Teddy a loyal friend for life! Your donation will be used purposefully and sparingly.

About Teddy

What life with Teddy looks like

Teddy is a senior australian shepherd 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.

🇦🇹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.
