How do I contact the shelter about Brix?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Franken e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Brix on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Brix if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhilfe Franken 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Brix 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 Brix 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 Tierhilfe Franken e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Brix and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Brix

Mixed Breed · Male

Brix is seeking a perfect home. Fate left no choice. So, Retriever-Mix Brix had to be abruptly separated from his sick mother. When he was brought to us, the smart boy had already realized he had lost his protected home and looked at us hopefully. The handsome male dog shows his foster family that he wants to be loved and hardly ever leaves their side. It’s not an exaggeration to say that there is hardly a better dog than Brix. He is only friendly, cuddly, absolutely patient, and never demanding. If offered a change or a walk, the handsome little boy is enthusiastic and eager. The smart Brix demonstrates his large repertoire of common commands for a small treat and is also a good companion in the car. He has had too little contact with fellow animals, and some practice is still needed. With the female gender, it’s working quite well now. A single spot would be ideal for the dear male dog. We wish for the really great Brix people who will appreciate his heart of gold and give him a loving home. Contact:

Brix sucht ein perfektes Zuhause Das Schicksal ließ keine Entscheidung zu. So musste Retriever-Mix Brix völlig unverhofft von seinem kranken Frauchen loslassen. Als er uns gebracht wurde, hatte der kluge Kerl es bereits begriffen, dass er sein behütetes Zuhause verloren hatte und schaute uns hoffnungsvoll an. Seiner Pflegefamilie zeigt der bildhübsche Rüde, dass er geliebt werden will und weicht kaum von der Seite. Es ist nicht übertrieben zu schreiben, dass es kaum einen „besseren Hund“ als Brix gibt. Er ist nur freundlich, verschmust, absolut geduldig und nie fordernd. Bietet man dem bildhübschen Buben eine Abwechslung oder einen Spaziergang an, ist er mit Freude und Eifer dabei. Der kluge Brix zeigt für ein kleines Leckerli sein großes Repertoire an gängigen Kommandos und ist auch im Auto ein guter Begleiter. Zu Artgenossen hatte er sicher zu wenig Kontakt. Hier muss noch etwas geübt werden. Beim weiblichen Geschlecht funktioniert es jetzt schon recht gut. Ein Einzelplatz wäre für den lieben Rüden ideal. Wir wünschen uns für den wirklich tollen Brix Menschen, die sein Herz aus Gold zu schätzen wissen und ihm ein liebevolles Zuhause geben. Kontakt: Jochen Baur

About Brix

What life with Brix looks like

Brix is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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.
