REX

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 5 years

Rex is a German Shepherd born on October 29, 2020. He came to our shelter because his owner had to go to the hospital and unfortunately can no longer care for him. He currently weighs 34.5 kilograms and has been neutered. The handsome male dog shows himself to be affectionate, people-oriented, and playful with us. He seeks contact with his caregivers and enjoys shared activities as well as loving attention. We are looking for a flat, quiet home in a rural area for Rex. On the leash he has shown himself to be unusually aggressive towards other dogs so far and likes to bully them, which is why his future owners should be experienced with dogs and above all willing to work with him on this issue. We currently do not know if Rex can stay alone. According to his previous owner, he lived in his previous household together with a cat. Rex lives with spondylosis, a painful change of the spine. With targeted support such as food additives and physiotherapy he can build up muscles and improve his well-being. We are looking for breed-experienced people who take Rex's needs seriously. To best support him and give him the highest quality of life for as long as possible, it is important to promote and challenge him within his capabilities. - Fax: 089/90 73 20 Email

Rex ist ein Deutscher Schäferhund, geboren am 29.10.2020. Er kam zu uns ins Tierheim, da seine Besitzerin ins Krankenhaus musste und sich leider nicht mehr um ihn kümmern kann. Er wiegt aktuell 34,5 Kilo und ist kastriert. Der hübsche Rüde zeigt sich bei uns zutraulich, menschenbezogen und verspielt. Er sucht den Kontakt zu seinen Bezugspersonen und freut sich über gemeinsame Beschäftigung sowie liebevolle Zuwendung. Für Rex wünschen wir uns ein ebenerdiges, ruhiges Zuhause in ländlicher Gegend. An der Leine zeigte er sich bisher gegenüber anderen Hunden auffällig und pöbelt diese gerne an, weshalb seine zukünftigen Menschen hundeerfahren und vor allem bereit sein sollten, mit ihm daran zu arbeiten. Ob Rex alleine bleiben kann, wissen wir derzeit nicht. Laut Vorbesitzerin lebte er in seinem vorherigen Haushalt zusammen mit einer Katze. Rex lebt mit einer Spondylose, einer schmerzhaften Veränderung der Wirbelsäule. Mit gezielter Unterstützung wie Futterzusätzen und Physiotherapie kann er Muskeln aufbauen und sein Wohlbefinden verbessern. Wir suchen für ihn rasseerfahrene Menschen, die Rex’ Bedürfnisse ernst nehmen. Um ihn bestmöglich zu unterstützen und ihm so lange wie möglich eine hohe Lebensqualität zu erhalten, ist es wichtig, ihn im Rahmer seiner Möglichkeiten umfassend zu fördern und fordern. -0Fax: 089/90 73 20E-Mail

About REX

What life with REX looks like

REX is a adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting REX, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about REX?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein München handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw REX on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt REX if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein München 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 REX 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 REX 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 München early rather than rehoming privately; they know REX 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.
