Adopt Anton

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Anton came to Germany at five months old from a Greek animal welfare organization and joined his family. At 1.5 years old, he was recently surrendered to us after bite incidents occurred with all family members. Anton is actually a very cheerful and, above all, active dog. He enjoys people and likes to be stroked and petted. He loves walks and finds them very important. At first, he was very occupied with himself, without paying attention to his people. Now, he has learned a lot, knows some signals, and is happy to work with them. He gets along well with female dogs in the animal shelter, but not with cats. Unfortunately, Anton seems to have learned that not everyone can be trusted and that some situations are hard to judge. In such moments, he can become very insecure and go forward. He needs calm, self-assured people who can give him support and guidance in these moments. Being alone or riding in the car are not a problem for him. We are looking for active people for Anton who can read and assess him well, and children should not be in the new home.

Anton kam mit 5 Monaten über eine griechische Tierschutzorganisation nach Deutschland in seine Familie. Mit 1 1/2 Jahren wurde er nun bei uns abgegeben, nachdem es mit allen Familienmitgliedern zu Beißvorfällen kam. Anton ist eigentlich ein sehr fröhlicher und vor allem aktiver Hund. Er freut sich über Menschen und lässt sich gerne streicheln und kraulen. Spaziergänge findet er klasse und sind sehr wichtig für ihn. Anfangs war er dabei sehr mit sich selbst beschäftigt, ohne auf seine Menschen zu achten. Inzwischen hat er einiges gelernt, kennt einige Signale und arbeitet gerne mit. Vor allem mit Hündinnen zeigt er sich im Tierheim gut verträglich, mit Katzen allerdings nicht. Leider hat Anton offenbar die Erfahrung gemacht, dass man Menschen nicht immer trauen kann bzw. kann manche Situationen schlecht einschätzen. Da kann es durchaus passieren, dass er sehr unsicher wird und nach vorne geht. Er braucht vor allem gelassene, selbstbewusste Menschen, die ihm in solchen Momenten Unterstützung und Anleitung geben können. Alleine bleiben oder im Auto mitfahren sind dagegen kein Problem. Für Anton suchen wir aktive Menschen, die ihn gut lesen und einschätzen können, Kinder sollten im neuen Zuhause nicht sein.

About Anton

What life with Anton looks like

Anton is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Anton, answered.

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