How do I contact the shelter about Dex?

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 Dex on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Dex 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Dex 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 Dex 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 Dex 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.

Adopt Dex

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Dex – No more living with siblings, time for his own room → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: male → Born: 09/2022 → Size / Weight: 55 cm / 28 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Microchip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: N/A → Fostering possible: yes Description: Our Dex is a real sunshine on four paws. Since he was a few months old, he has been living with his siblings at our shelter. He hasn't experienced outdoor life in a family yet – but we are sure: he is ready to finally explore the world. Dex is a friendly, good-natured guy who loves to be petted and stroked – especially over his little round belly. He enjoys any affection. He gets along well with other dogs, as he is used to living in a pack. With people, he is open and easy-going. Of course, Dex also comes with a few "work in progress" areas: he is young, full of nonsense in his head, and his training is just beginning. Additionally, he currently has a bit too much weight – we affectionately call it his "comfort cushion." A gentle fitness and diet program would be just right for Dex. With some motivation, patience, and a love for exercise, he will surely soon lose his extra pounds and become the active dog that lies within him. And let's be honest: it's high time that Dex stands on his own feet!

Dex – Schluss mit Geschwister-WG, her mit dem Einzelzimmer → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 09/2022 → Grösse / Gewicht: 55 cm / 28 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: jaBeschreibung: Unser Dex ist ein echter Sonnenschein auf vier Pfoten. Seit er ein paar Monate alt war, lebt er mit seinen Geschwistern in unserer Pension. Das Leben draußen, in einer Familie, kennt er bisher leider noch nicht – aber wir sind sicher: Er ist bereit, die Welt endlich zu entdecken. Dex ist ein freundlicher, gutmütiger Kerl, der sich gerne anfassen und streicheln lässt – besonders über seinen kleinen Kugelbauch. Er freut sich über jede Zuwendung. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich gut, schließlich ist er das Zusammenleben in einem Rudel gewohnt. Menschen gegenüber zeigt er sich offen und unkompliziert. Natürlich bringt Dex auch ein paar „Baustellen“ mit: Er ist jung, voller Quatsch im Kopf und seine Erziehung steht noch am Anfang. Außerdem hat er aktuell ein bisschen zu viel auf den Rippen – wir nennen es liebevoll sein „Wohlfühlpolster“. Für Dex wäre jetzt ein sanftes Fitness- und Diätprogramm genau das Richtige. Mit etwas Motivation, Geduld und Freude an Bewegung wird er sicher bald seine Pfunde purzeln lassen und zu dem aktiven Hund werden, der in ihm steckt. Und jetzt mal ehrlich: Es wird allerhöchste Zeit, dass Dex endlich auf eigenen Beinen steht! Immer diese Geschwister u

About Dex

What life with Dex looks like

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

An young 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.
