How do I contact the shelter about Teddy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz Austria 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 — Tierschutz Austria 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 Tierschutz Austria 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

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Male, neutered, born December 2019, not dog-friendly, no children in the household, looking for a home: quiet suburban or rural area, garden advantage The clever, 2019-born mixed-breed male Teddy needs a short introductory phase to build trust (especially with men). Teddy is intelligent and wants to be engaged. Unfortunately, other dogs are not his friends. Encounters with them stress him greatly, and in contact, he would also bite, in stress the previous owners also had a displacement behavior, so that Teddy turned around and bit his owner. This did not happen with us despite stress. Teddy walks nicely on a leash (without dog encounters), but is not always house-trained due to stress. Teddy receives dietary supplements for muscle building in his hind legs. He is looking for people who do not pressure him and can read his body language, because then he does not have a problem with handling. For the clever male, we are looking for a home in a quiet suburban or rural area, a garden would be an advantage.

Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Dezember 2019 Mit Hunden verträglich: nein Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein Zuhause gesucht: am ruhigen Stadtrand oder Land, Garten von Vorteil Der schlaue, 2019 geborene Mischlingsrüde Teddy ist benötigt für Vertrauensaufbau eine kurze Kennenlernphase (v.a. bei Männern). Teddy ist schlau und möchte beschäftigt werden. Andere Hunde zählen leider nicht zu seinen Freunden. Begegnungen mit ihnen stressen ihn sehr, bei Kontakt würde er auch beißen, im Stress kam es bei den Vorbesitzern auch zur Übersprungshandlung, sodass sich Teddy umgedreht und seinen Halter gebissen hat. Bei uns kam dies trotz Stress nicht vor. Teddy geht brav an der Leine (ohne Hundebegegnungen), bei uns ist er stressbedingt nicht immer stubenrein. Teddy erhält Nahrungsergänzungsmittel für den Muskelaufbau seiner Hinterbeine. Er sucht Menschen, die ihn nicht bedrängen und seine Körpersprache lesen können, denn dann hat er auch kein Thema mit dem Handling. Für den cleveren Rüden suchen wir ein Zuhause am ruhigen Stadtrand oder Land, ein Garten wäre von Vorteil.“

About Teddy

What life with Teddy looks like

Teddy is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Austria in Vienna.

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.
