Idefix

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Idefix, a friendly mixed breed, was given up to the animal shelter due to a separation. The medium-sized male has been with his family since puppyhood but quickly settled into the shelter, thanks in part to his canine friend. Idefix is initially a bit reserved but becomes very affectionate, cuddly, and enthusiastic about going for walks. He has never attended dog school but knows a few signals and enjoys car rides. On a leash, he tends to bark at other dogs but is compatible with both females and males. Idefix is familiar with living with children, tolerates brushing well, and is friendly but excited at the vet. Idefix is a cheerful and sociable dog who knows family life and would be delighted to join a family with children.

DE·Show original

Wegen Trennung wurde Idefix schweren Herzens im Tierheim abgegeben. Der mittelgroße Rüde ist seit dem Junghundalter in seiner Familie, lebte sich aber, auch dank Hundefreundin, sehr schnell im Tierheim ein. Idefix ist ein freundlicher Mischling, zwar anfangs etwas zurückhaltend, dann aber sehr anhänglich, verschmust und begeistert, wenn es darum geht spazieren zu gehen. Eine Hundeschule hat er nie besucht, dafür kennt er ein paar Signale und fährt im Auto mit. An der Leine neigt er dazu andere Hunde anzubellen, ist aber sowohl mit Hündinnen als auch Rüden verträglich. Idefix kennt das Zusammenleben mit Kindern, lässt sich gut bürsten und zeigt sich beim Tierarzt zwar aufgeregt aber freundlich. Idefix ist ein fröhlicher und umgänglicher Hund, der das Familienleben kennt und sich über eine Familie mit Kindern sehr freuen würde.

About Idefix

What life with Idefix looks like

Idefix 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Idefix, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Idefix?
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 Idefix on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Idefix 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Idefix 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 Idefix 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 Idefix 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.
