Lena

Mixed Breed · Female

Lena, a likely Labrador-Jagdterrier mix, is a friendly and active female dog. At the shelter, she is quite fearless, confident, and curious, but still somewhat uncertain when out on walks. She has not had much experience, so while she is not fearful around people, she is still a bit overwhelmed by traffic and the many unfamiliar things outside. At the dog park, she enjoys showing off her speed, is playful, easily distracted, and fearlessly tries out unfamiliar dog equipment. Lena learns quickly, is attentive, people-oriented, and easily follows her handler. She gets along well with other dogs and would also be a good second dog. We are looking for active people who can provide Lena with initial safety, guidance, and exercise.

DE·Show original

Die hübsche Lena, vermutlich eine Mischung aus Labrador und Jagdterrier, ist eine freundliche und aktive Hündin. Im Tierheim ist sie ziemlich unerschrocken, selbstbewusst und neugierig, unterwegs dann aber noch ziemlich unsicher. Sie hat bisher nicht viel kennen gelernt, ist bei Menschen zwar nicht ängstlich aber mit dem Straßenverkehr und den vielen ungewohnten Dingen da draußen noch etwas überfordert. Auf dem Hundeplatz zeigt sie dann gerne wie schnell sie ist, sie ist verspielt, bestechlich und probiert auch unbekannte Hundeturngeräte unerschrocken aus. Lena lernt schnell, ist aufmerksam, menschenbezogen und orientiert sich an gut an ihrer Bezugsperson. Mit anderen Hunden ist sie gut verträglich und wäre auch gut als Zweithund geeignet. Für Lena suchen wir aktive Menschen, die Lena anfangs Sicherheit aber auch Anleitung und Beschäftigung geben können.

About Lena

What life with Lena looks like

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

A 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lena, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lena?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein Reutlingen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lena on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lena if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein Reutlingen whether they will for Lena, what they require (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 Lena already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Lena. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein Reutlingen, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lena isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein Reutlingen about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lena 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.
