Tierheim Baden

About Tierheim Baden

Tierheim Baden at Zubringerstraße 64 belongs to the Tierschutzverein Baden-Bezirk and rehomes dogs, cats and small animals with new owners. The association goes back to a section of the Wiener Tierschutzverein from 1892, has been independent since 1999 and covers the Baden district, the town of Mödling, Gumpoldskirchen and Guntramsdorf.

Meeting and adopting an animal

Every animal is listed with a profile on the website: age, breed, compatibility with dogs, cats and children and what kind of home suits it. Meetings are by appointment only, which you arrange by e-mail to office@tierheimbaden.at or via the contact form, not by phone. Some small animals are only rehomed in pairs.

Found animals and emergencies

• Found a pet: you must report a stray animal to the animal shelter, a vet or the police, otherwise it is a punishable offence. The shelter publishes found animals on the platform "Fundtiere in NÖ". If nobody comes forward, the animal passes to the shelter after 30 days.
• Collecting your own animal: only with proof of ownership such as a vaccination certificate, chip number or photos.
• Emergency number: the shelter's number is only for ownerless, found animals and, according to the shelter, can now only be reached via the responsible authority or the police.
• Wild animals: for injured or young wild animals the shelter refers you to the Wildtierauffangstation Kaltenegger.

The website does not give any rules for handing in your own animals. Under "Privatvermittlung" the shelter presents animals that are looking for a new home directly from their owners.

How you can help

• Become a member: 20 euros a year, and you receive the members' newsletter by post twice a year.
• Walking dogs: you need to be of age, have no criminal record, be a member and complete an induction. Young people aged 12 and over go along accompanied by an adult.
• Sponsorship: for a dog 15 euros a month or 100 euros a year, for a cat 10 or 80 euros, for small animals 5 or 40 euros.
• Donations: the shelter is happy to receive food, cleaning products and detergent; the preferred brands are listed on the website. There is currently a stop on accepting cat beds, large scratching posts, blankets and accessories. Please do not leave donations in kind in front of the gate, but arrange them by e-mail first. Money can be given via PayPal or to the donation account at Sparkasse Baden.
