How do I contact the shelter about Timmy?

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

Can I adopt Timmy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Arche Noah 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 Timmy 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 Timmy 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 Arche Noah early rather than rehoming privately; they know Timmy 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.

Timmy

Male · Adult · 4 years

Timmy is a 3-year-old Hovawart mix who brings many of the qualities that are prized in this breed: he is vigilant, attentive, and extremely loyal to his people. He approaches strangers with a healthy dose of skepticism - after all, a good watchdog wants to know who's standing in front of him first. Once Timmy gets to know someone and trusts them, however, he quickly warms up and shows that there's a lovable guy behind the attentive gaze. Timmy wants people who understand his traits and give him security and clear structures. He's not a dog who needs to greet every visitor enthusiastically, but one who likes to accompany his people while keeping a close eye on what's happening around him. Unfortunately, Timmy doesn't get along well with other animals, and children shouldn't live in his future home. He would be happy to share his home with people who appreciate his loyal and attentive nature. If you're looking for a strong-willed, faithful companion and a dog who is not just there, but also likes to keep an eye on his people, Timmy might be the right partner for you.

DE·Show original

Timmy ist ein 3-jähriger Hovawart-Mix und bringt einiges von dem mit, was man an dieser Rasse so schätzt: Er ist wachsam, aufmerksam und seinen Menschen gegenüber ausgesprochen loyal. Fremden begegnet er zunächst mit einer gesunden Portion Skepsis – schließlich möchte ein guter Wachhund erst einmal wissen, wer da eigentlich vor ihm steht. Hat Timmy jemanden kennengelernt und Vertrauen gefasst, taut er allerdings schnell auf und zeigt, dass hinter dem aufmerksamen Blick ein liebenswerter Kerl steckt. Timmy wünscht sich Menschen, die seine Eigenschaften verstehen und ihm Sicherheit und klare Strukturen geben. Er ist kein Hund, der jeden Besucher überschwänglich begrüßen muss, sondern einer, der seine Menschen gerne begleitet und gleichzeitig genau im Blick behält, was um ihn herum passiert. Mit anderen Tieren kann Timmy leider nicht besonders viel anfangen und auch Kinder sollten in seinem zukünftigen Zuhause nicht leben. Dafür darf er sein Zuhause gerne mit Menschen teilen, die seine loyale und aufmerksame Art zu schätzen wissen. Wer einen charakterstarken, treuen Begleiter sucht und einen Hund möchte, der nicht nur dabei ist, sondern auch gerne ein Auge auf seine Menschen hat, könnte in Timmy genau den richtigen Partner finden.

About Timmy

What life with Timmy looks like

Timmy is a large adult dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
