How do I contact the shelter about Tuan?

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 Tuan on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tuan 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 Tuan 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 Tuan 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 Tuan 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.

Tuan

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Shy Little Dwarf Boy: Male, neutered Date of Birth: March 2020 Size: Under knee-high Compatible with dogs: Shows no interest Children in the same household: Possible calm teenagers Home sought: Currently with a garden, in the countryside The shy, 2020-born mixed-breed male dog Tuan needs a getting-to-know-you phase to overcome his shyness, then he is people-friendly and can also be given to calm teenagers in the same household. Tuan shows no interest in other dogs – it might be that he is still very reserved and inhibited because the animal shelter environment is still new to him. The loving male dog is not yet house-trained and does not know the harness either, so he cannot yet be walked on a leash. For this reason, we are currently seeking a home with a garden for Tuan where he can walk in the beginning, in the countryside with patient people who read his body language, respect it, and do not overwhelm him.

„Schüchternes Zwergerl Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: März 2020 Größe: unter kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: zeigt kein Interesse Kinder im selben Haushalt: ruhige Teenager möglich Zuhause gesucht: aktuell mit Garten, am Land Der schüchterne, 2020 geborene Mischlingsrüde Tuan benötigt eine Kennenlernphase, um seine Unsicherheit zu überwinden, ist dann menschenfreundlich kann auch zu ruhigen Teenagern im selben Haushalt vergeben werden. Anderen Hunden gegenüber zeigt Tuan kein Interesse – kann sein, dass er noch sehr zurückhaltend und gehemmt ist, weil die Tierheim-Umgebung noch neu für ihn ist. Der liebe Rüde ist noch nicht stubenrein, kennt auch das Brustgeschirr noch nicht und kann daher noch nicht an der Leine spazieren geführt werden. Aus diesem Grund suchen wir zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt für Tuan ein Zuhause mit Garten, wo er in der Anfangszeit Gassi gehen darf, am Land bei geduldigen Menschen, die seine Körpersprache lesen, respektieren und ihn nicht überfordern.“

About Tuan

What life with Tuan looks like

Tuan is a 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.
