Alex

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Alex – jetzt ist das Leben dran → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 06/2024 → Grösse / Gewicht: 55 cm / 20 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung Das Leben hat Alex anfangs ein paar Steine in den Weg gelegt. Heute sammelt er sie lieber ein und läuft einfach weiter. Als er in unsere Pension kam, war ihm die Zeit auf der Straße deutlich anzusehen. Inzwischen ist davon nichts mehr übrig. Alex hat sich vollständig erholt und scheint einen festen Entschluss gefasst zu haben: Ab jetzt wird das Leben genossen. Und genau das macht er. Mit neugierigen Blicken, guter Laune und der Einstellung: „Zeig mal, was es da draußen noch alles gibt.“ Menschen findet er großartig, mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich gut und am liebsten wäre er überall mit dabei. Nicht, weil er ständig Action braucht, sondern weil er endlich entdecken möchte, was ihm so lange gefehlt hat. Ein Zuhause kennt Alex bisher nicht. Da wird sicher nicht vom ersten Tag an alles perfekt laufen. Aber mal ehrlich – wer kann das schon von sich behaupten? Viel wichtiger ist, dass seine Menschen Spaß daran haben, ihm die Welt zu zeigen und gemeinsam mit ihm zu wachsen. Denn Alex bringt etwas mit, das man nicht lernen kann: echte Freude auf das, was vor ihm liegt. Vielleicht sucht Alex gar kein perfektes Zuhause. Vielleicht sucht er einfach Menschen, die genauso Lust aufs Leben haben wie er. Hinweis:D

About Alex

What life with Alex looks like

Alex is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alex, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alex?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alex on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alex if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Alex 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 Alex 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 Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alex 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.
