Adopt Dean

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 10 months

No wonder this handsome black mixed-breed male dog with his 1 1/2 blue eyes stands out. Dean is an absolutely friendly, nice guy who is very open with people and gets along well with other dogs. Sometimes he needs a moment with strangers, but it takes just a treat to convince them. It's clear, though, that he hasn't experienced much yet and is still basically self-assured and optimistic. Despite his inexperience, he is very attuned to people, showing attentiveness, clinginess, and a quick learning ability. He doesn't know signals yet but is happy to try them out to see what else treats are for. On the leash, he runs very well and loves to explore fields, forests, and meadows. Dean would fit well into a sporty family, and he would also enjoy being with children.

Kein Wunder, dass dieser hübsche schwarze Mischlingsrüde mit seinen 1 1/2 blauen Augen direkt auffält. Dean ist ein absolut freundlicher, netter Kerl, der Menschen gegeüber sehr aufgeschlossen und mit anderen Hunden gut verträglich ist. Manchmal braucht er bei fremden Menschen zwar einen Moment, aber es reicht schon ein Leckerli um von sich überzeugen zu können. Man merkt jedenfalls, dass er bisher noch nicht viel erlebt hat und trotzdem eigentlich selbstbewusst und optimistisch ist. Trotz seiner Unerfahrenheit orientiert er sich stark am Menschen, zeigt sich aufmerksam, anhänglich und lernt schnell. Signale kennt er zwar noch nicht, probiert aber gerne aus für was es alles Leckerlis gibt. An der Leine läuft er sehr gut mit und erkundet gerne Feld, Wald und Wiesen. Dean würde in eine sportliche Familie passen, gerne auch mit Kindern.

About Dean

What life with Dean looks like

Dean is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Dean, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dean?
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 Dean on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dean 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 Dean 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 Dean 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 Dean 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.
