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 · 6 years

Attachment Teddy, a male neutered mixed-breed, is seeking an individual person. Gender: male, neutered Date of birth: Feb. 2016 In the animal shelter since: July 2020 Gets along with dogs: yes Has children in the same household: no, has fear Prefers a home: a quiet home with an individual person, without children or other animals, in the countryside The distinguished, 2016-born male mixed-breed dog Teddy is very clingy and friendly after a short get-to-know-you phase. He also gets along well with other dogs, but he is stressed during free play because he doesn't really know how to do it and doesn't want to be pressured. At home, he is house-trained and also rides well in the car. Teddy seems to have not been well socialized in his previous life, is sensitive to noises, and insecure when restricted (e.g., on a leash) or held. For Teddy, we are looking for a home with a female single person, as in the past it has unfortunately been shown that Teddy is overwhelmed with two people in the same household. "I have been waiting in the animal shelter for a long time, even though I only have a flaw. I like people outdoors after a short get-to-know-you phase. Indoors, I would like to live with an individual person. I have a hard time indoors with men, so it should be a woman. I get along well with other dogs and behave very well in many situations. I love long walks in nature and am also a good guard dog. Are you – in the truest sense of the word – the woman of my life?"

Anhänglicher Teddy sucht Einzelperson“ Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: Feb. 2016 Im Tierheim seit: Juli 2020 Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: nein, hat Angst Zuhause gesucht: ruhiges Zuhause bei Einzelperson, ohne Kinder oder andere Tiere, am Land Der stattliche, 2016 geborene Mischlingsrüde Teddy ist nach kurzer Kennenlernphase sehr anhänglich und freundlich. Auch mit anderen Hunden kommt Teddy gut aus, im freien Spiel ist er aber zu gestresst, da er es nicht wirklich kennt und auch nicht bedrängt werden möchte. Zuhause ist er stubenrein und er fährt auch brav im Auto mit. Teddy dürfte in seinem bisherigen Leben nicht viel kennen gelernt haben, ist geräuschempfindlich und unsicher, wenn er begrenzt (z.B. durch die Leine) oder festgehalten wird. Für Teddy suchen wir ein Zuhause bei einer weiblichen Single-Person, da sich in der Vergangenheit leider gezeigt hat, dass Teddy mit 2 Personen im selben Haushalt überfordert ist. „Ich warte leider schon sehr lange im Tierheim, obwohl ich eigentlich nur eine Macke habe. Ich mag Menschen outdoor schon nach einer kurzen Kennenlernphase. Indoor möchte ich bei einer Einzelperson leben. Ich tue mir indoor mit Männern schwer, deshalb sollte das eine Frau sein. Mit anderen Hunden komme ich gut aus und benehme mich in vielen Situation vorbildlich. Ich liebe lange Spaziergänge in der Natur und bin auch ein guter Wachhund. Sind Sie – im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes – die Frau meines Lebens?““

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.
