Zweite Chance für Blacky

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

In the spring of 2024, the handsome 9-year-old mixed-breed male dog found his way to us at the Assisi-Hof shelter in Stockerau (NÖ). Blacky had it far from easy in his previous life. Countless owner changes had marked his soul and made him suspicious of people. Upon his arrival, he was extremely stressed, wouldn't let anyone touch him, and would show his teeth at any sign of uncertainty. With much patience, an extra portion of love, and many, many training sessions, we gradually won his trust, and in the past months, Blacky has made great progress. Our lively shelter dog now shows boundless joy and plays like a little puppy as soon as he has familiar people around. His great passion is for every toy, but he also responds well to training with food. Now, Blacky finally wants to find his very own special someone, with whom he can settle down and start a new adventure. Blacky is definitely not a dog for everyone and has some behavioral special effects in his luggage. In his past, it was clear that he had little experience and that a person by his side who gave him security, properly challenged him, and set limits where necessary was missing. As soon as he is pushed out of his comfort zone, he reacts extremely sensitively. Sudden movements and unfamiliar situations quickly unsettle him. However, his reactions are not out of malice but are fear-driven. What Blacky needs is a dog-experienced primary caregiver who understands him, leads him through life with loving consequences, and gives him the necessary security. Someone who continues to foster him with fairness and goodwill, despite all his "corners and edges," as he is. Blacky loves to discover new things, explore the world on long walks, and really let loose. He gets along well with other dogs, is friendly, and open-minded. The numerous owner changes have instilled separation anxiety in Blacky, so he can only stay alone poorly. With targeted training, a lot of patience, and love, it will certainly be possible to take away his fear and get him used to "being alone." Blacky wishes for a quiet, more rural home without chaos and without children. Cats and small animals should also not live in the same household. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and in the best health. Since Blacky has already been passed around countless times, we now wish for him a final and loving "forever home."

Im Frühling 2024 fand der hübsche 9-jährige Mischlingsrüde den Weg zu uns auf den Assisi-Hof in Stockerau (NÖ). Blacky hatte es in seinem bisherigen Leben alles andere als leicht. Unzählige Besitzerwechsel haben seine Seele gezeichnet und ihn misstrauisch gegenüber Menschen gemacht. Bei seiner Ankunft war er überaus gestresst, ließ sich nicht berühren und bei jeder Unsicherheit hat er uns seine Zähne gezeigt. Mit viel Ruhe, einer Extraportion Liebe und vielen, vielen Trainingseinheiten konnten wir Schritt für Schritt sein Vertrauen gewinnen und in den vergangenen Monaten hat Blacky große Fortschritte gemacht. Unser quirliger Schützling zeigt sich heute voller Lebensfreude und spielt, sobald er vertraute Menschen um sich hat, ausgelassen wie ein kleiner Welpe. Seine große Leidenschaft gilt jedem Spielzeug, aber auch mit Futter lässt er sich im Training gut motivieren. Nun möchte Blacky endlich – seinen ganz persönlichen Herzensmenschen finden, bei dem er ankommen und ins Abenteuer Leben starten darf. Blacky ist definitiv kein Hund für jedermann und hat einige verhaltenstechnische Spezialeffekte mit im Gepäck. Er hat in seiner Vergangenheit offensichtlich wenig kennengelernt und es hat ein Mensch an seiner Seite gefehlt, der ihm Sicherheit gibt, ihn ordentlich auslastet und da, wo nötig – auch mal Grenzen setzt. Sobald man ihn aus seiner Komfortzone drängt, reagiert er äußerst sensibel. Plötzliche Bewegungen und ungewohnte Situationen verunsichern ihn schnell. Doch seine Reaktionen sind keine Bosheit, sondern Angst geprägt. Was Blacky braucht, ist eine hundeerfahrene Bezugsperson, die ihn versteht, ihm mittels liebevoller Konsequenz durchs Leben führt und die nötige Sicherheit gibt. Die ihn mit Fairness und Wohlwollen weiterhin fördert und ihn trotz all seiner „Ecken und Kanten“ nimmt, wie er ist. Blacky liebt es, Neues zu entdecken, bei ausgedehnten Spaziergängen die Welt zu erkunden und sich dabei richtig auszupowern. Mit anderen Hunden ist er verträglich, freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Die zahlreichen Besitzerwechsel haben in Blacky eine Trennungsangst hervorgerufen, weshalb er nur schlecht allein bleiben kann. Mit gezieltem Training, viel Geduld und Liebe wird es bestimmt möglich sein, ihm seine Angst zu nehmen und ihn an das „Alleine-bleiben“ zu gewöhnen. Blacky wünscht sich unbedingt ein ruhiges, eher ländliches Zuhause ohne Trubel und ohne Kinder. Katzen und Kleintiere sollten ebenfalls nicht im selben Haushalt leben. Er ist vollständig geimpft, kastriert und erfreut sich bester Gesundheit. Da Blacky bereits unzählige Male herumgereicht wurde, wünschen wir uns für ihn nun ein endgültiges und liebevolles “Für-immer-Zuhause”. Die

About Zweite Chance für Blacky

What life with Zweite Chance für Blacky looks like

Zweite Chance für Blacky is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Assisi-Hof Stockerau in Austria.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇦🇹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 Zweite Chance für Blacky, answered.

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