How do I contact the shelter about Mex?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Care-4-life e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mex on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mex if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Care-4-life 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 Mex 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 Mex 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 Care-4-life e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mex 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 Mex

Golden Retriever · Male · Young · 1 year

For interest in our beloved Mex, please send us our filled-out application form: Mex comes to us directly from Turkey, usually from their families. What we know about Mex: Mex is a beautiful, energetic, approximately 2-year-old Golden Retriever full of life and ready to finally arrive. Mex was simply abandoned. His owners moved away and left him in the garden, locked in a small shed, like in a chicken coop. There, he was on his own, barking in despair all day until neighbors took notice. Eventually, he was rescued by dedicated helpers and brought to us. Now, Mex is with us and waiting for his second chance. Mex, due to his young age, is still very energetic and full of life, loves movement, and is ready to discover the world anew. He is friendly, social with other dogs, and shows openness in contact. At the same time, he – typically – brings a lot of energy and needs clear, loving guidance, structure, and stimulation. He is good with other dogs, and cat compatibility has not been tested. What we wish for Mex: • active people who like to be outdoors • enjoyment of movement, training, and mental stimulation • clear, loving guidance • time and engagement for a young, energetic dog If he gets a chance, he will become a loyal, lively companion who finally gets to experience what a real home means. Nice to know: Mex has a lot to make up for – but just as much to give. For interest in our beloved Mex, please send us our filled-out application form:.

Bei Interesse an unserem lieben Mex schicken Sie unseren ausgefüllten Unsere Hunde - so auch Mex - kommen in der Regel direkt aus der Türkei zu ihren Familien. Was wir über Mex wissen: Mex ist ein wunderschöner, kräftiger ca. 2-jähriger Golden Retriever, der voller Lebensfreude steckt und endlich ankommen möchte. Mex wurde einfach zurückgelassen. Seine Besitzer zogen weg und ließen ihn im Garten zurück, eingesperrt in einem kleinen Verschlag, wie in einem Hühnerkäfig. Dort war er auf sich allein gestellt, bellte aus Verzweiflung den ganzen Tag, bis Nachbarn aufmerksam wurden. Schließlich wurde er von engagierten Helferinnen gerettet und zu uns gebracht. Jetzt ist Mex bei uns und wartet auf seine zweite Chance. Mex aufgrund seines jungen Alters noch sehr energiegeladen und lebensfroh, der Bewegung liebt und bereit ist, die Welt neu zu entdecken. Er ist freundlich, sozial mit anderen Hunden und zeigt sich offen im Kontakt. Gleichzeitig bringt er – rassetypisch – viel Energie mit und braucht klare Führung, Struktur und Auslastung. Er ist gut verträglich mit anderen Hunden, die Katzenverträglichkeit wurde bisher nicht getestet. Das wünschen wir uns für Mex: • aktive Menschen, die gerne draußen unterwegs sind • Freude an Bewegung, Training und Beschäftigung • klare, liebevolle Führung • Zeit und Engagement für einen jungen, kräftigen Hund Wer ihm eine Chance gibt, bekommt einen treuen, lebensfrohen Begleiter, der endlich erfahren darf, was ein echtes Zuhause bedeutet. Nice to know: Mex hat viel nachzuholen – aber genauso viel zu geben. Bei Interesse an unserem lieben Mex schicken Sie unseren ausgefüllten Interessentenbogen bitte an:

About Mex

What life with Mex looks like

Mex is a medium-sized young adult golden retriever dog waiting at Care-4-life e.V. in Stuttgart.

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.
