Tobi

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Toby originally came from a seizure by the authorities. The extremely friendly male dog gets along well with dogs he knows. House training and basic obedience still need work. These dogs unfortunately don’t know a normal daily life, but with lots of patience and gradual introduction to new things, they will surely become loyal companions.

DE·Show original

Toby stammt ursprünglich von einer behördlichen Abnahme. Die äußerst freundliche Rüde ist mit Hunden, die er kennt, gut verträglich. An der Stubenreinheit und der Erziehung muss noch gearbeitet werden. Diese Hunde kennen leider keinen normalen Alltag, aber mit viel Geduld und langsamen Heranführen an neue Dinge werden sie bestimmt zu treuen Begleitern.

About Tobi

What life with Tobi looks like

Tobi is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Linz in Linz.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tobi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tobi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Linz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tobi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tobi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Linz 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 Tobi 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 Tobi 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 Linz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tobi 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.
