Lenny

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Lenny needs very little to make him the happiest dog ever: food and being with people. And if he has to wait for hours in front of a closed kitchen door for this, he is patient, optimistic and takes things as they are. An absolutely adorable and lovable senior, who doesn't look his age at all. He stands there, laughs and wags his tail, is happy to be part of the break and celebrates each of the daily two meals like a Christmas dinner. He gets along very well with other dogs (but doesn't want to share his Christmas dinner with them). He loves going for walks, is happy to see all people and is always in a good mood and cheerful. He is super bribable, does happy somersaults at the sight of games and toys and then lies down comfortably in the sun to enjoy life. We are looking for Lenny for loving people who need a bit of happiness and cheerfulness in their lives and can give Lenny this chance, despite his 11 years.

Es braucht nicht viel um Lenny zum glücklichsten Hund überhaupt zu machen: Futter & bei Menschen sein. Und wenn er dafür Stundenlang vor einer verschlossenen Küchentüre warten muss, er ist geduldig, optimistisch und nimmt die Dinge wie sie sind. Ein absolut herziger und liebenswerter Senior, dem man sein Alter erstmal gar nicht glauben würde. Da steht er, lacht und wedelt mit dem Schwanz, freut sich bei der Pause mit dabei sein zu dürfen und feiert jede der täglichen zwei Mahlzeiten wie ein Weihnachtsessen. Mit anderen Hunden ist er sehr gut verträglich (möchte sein Weihnachtsessen aber nicht mit Artgenossen teilen). Er geht total gerne spazieren, freut sich über alle Menschen und ist stets gut gelaunt und fröhlich. Er ist super bestechlich, macht beim Anblick von Spielen und Spielzeug fröhliche Purzelbäume und legt sich dann gemütlich zu einem in die Sonne um das Leben zu genießen. Für Lenny suchen wir liebe Menschen, die etwas Glück und Fröhlichkeit in ihrem Leben brauchen können und Lenny diese Chance geben, trotz seinen 11 Jahren.

About Lenny

What life with Lenny looks like

Lenny is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Lenny, answered.

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