How do I adopt an animal from Tierzuflucht?
Browse the available animals on this page and pick one you'd like to meet. Then contact Tierzuflucht directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar β Tierzuflucht handles the adoption process, not TailHarbor.

Can I adopt from Tierzuflucht if I live in another country?

The animal needs to be at least 15 weeks old, microchipped to ISO 11784/11785, and have a valid rabies vaccination administered at least 21 days before travel. Tierzuflucht typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport. The adopter coordinates the transport β common options include rescue networks (NGO-run road transport), professional pet-transport companies, "flight nannies" (volunteer in-cabin couriers), or self-drive pickups for shelters in neighbouring countries.

Typical fees in Austria cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport).
