Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Thorin is a mixed-breed dog weighing about 20 kg. He gets along well with other dogs in direct contact and is increasingly less likely to lunge on the leash. Thorin is very insecure and tends to show defensive behavior in some situations, which is why there should be no children living in his family. Thorin wears a muzzle patiently and is making good progress in training. Thorin has already bitten.

About Thorin

What life with Thorin looks like

Thorin is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Kapfenberg in Kapfenberg.

A young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Thorin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Thorin?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Kapfenberg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Thorin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Thorin if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Kapfenberg 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Thorin 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 Thorin 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 Tierheim Kapfenberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Thorin 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.
