Toby

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Shy Sensibelchen Gender: male, neutered Date of Birth: March 2015 Size: under knee-high Compatible with dogs: no Children in the same household: possible if they are calm teenagers Home sought: in a very quiet suburban area or countryside The shy, 2015-born mixed-breed male dog Toby needs a getting-to-know-you phase to overcome his shyness, then he is friendly with people and can also be given to calm teenagers in the same household. Other dogs are unfortunately not among his friends. The loving male dog is house-trained and walks nicely on a leash, although he shows some insecurity during handling. He wants to learn to handle dog encounters stress-free with lots of patience. Toby is on heart medication. We are looking for a home in a very quiet suburban area or countryside with people who are sensitive to his needs for Toby.

„Schüchternes Sensibelchen Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: März 2015 Größe: unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: nein Kinder im selben Haushalt: ruhige Teenager möglich Zuhause gesucht: am sehr ruhigen Stadtrand oder Land Der schüchterne, 2015 geborene Mischlingsrüde Toby benötigt eine Kennenlernphase, um seine Unsicherheit zu überwinden, ist dann menschenfreundlich kann auch zu ruhigen Teenagern im selben Haushalt vergeben werden. Andere Hunde gehören leider nicht zu seinen Freunden. Der liebe Rüde ist stubenrein und geht brav an der Leine, lediglich beim Handling zeigt sich Toby etwas unsicher. Hundebegegnungen stressfrei zu meistern möchte er noch mit viel Geduld erlernen. Toby erhält Herzmedikamente. Für Toby suchen wir ein Zuhause am sehr ruhigen Stadtrand oder Land bei Menschen, die sensibel mit ihm umgehen.“

About Toby

What life with Toby looks like

Toby is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Austria in Vienna.

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 Toby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Toby?
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 Toby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Toby 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 Toby 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 Toby 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 Toby 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.
