How do I contact the shelter about Rex?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ITV Grenzenlos e.V. 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 — ITV Grenzenlos 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 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 ITV Grenzenlos e.V. 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.

Rex

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

This handsome male dog was registered according to the Romanian online registry book in October 2022 under the name Rex. Unfortunately, he was given up by his owner at the Open animal shelter in September 2023 as he was no longer wanted. Rex was initially not very well liked by the other dogs and was often mobbed and bitten. This happens when new dogs are being integrated into a pack. He also had severe wounds on his back, which are now well healed. Rex is lively and energetic for his age. He is looking for a sporty family that enjoys doing many activities together and attends dog training classes. Rex does not know much yet, so he needs good discipline and orientation. He is strong and therefore requires secure guidance. Rex is friendly towards everyone and clingy. He is curious and eager to learn. The dear fellow will bring a lot of joy and happiness into his new family with his zest for life. Rex now gets along well with the other dogs and walks nicely on the leash. At the animal shelter, Rex has been vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. He will receive a blood test before his travel arrangements. He was born in September 2021 and is 49 cm tall. He weighs 20 kg. He has been at the animal shelter since September 2024. If you are interested, please contact: 05071 – 4126 or . Rex in the video:

Dieser hübsche Rüde wurde laut rumänischem Online Register-Buch im Oktober 2022 unter den Namen Rex registriert. Leider wurde er im September 2023 vom Besitzer im Offenen Tierheim abgegeben. Er war nicht mehr erwünscht. Rex war den anderen Hunden anfangs wirklich nicht sympathisch und wurde öfter gemobbt und gebissen. Das passiert, wenn neue Hunde in ein Rudel aufgenommen werden sollen. Er hatte auch schlimme Wunden auf dem Rücken, die jetzt schon gut verheilt sind. Rex ist seinem Alter entsprechend lebendig und bewegungsfreudig. Er sucht eine sportliche Familie, die mit ihm viel unternimmt und die Hundeschule besucht. Rex kennt noch nicht viel, deswegen braucht er eine gute Erziehung und Orientierung. Er ist kräftig und braucht deshalb eine sichere Führung. Rex ist allen gegenüber freundlich und anhänglich. Er ist neugierig und lernbereit. Der liebe Kerl wird durch seine Lebensfreunde viel gute Laune in seine neue Familie bringen. Rex versteht sich jetzt gut mit den anderen Hunden und er geht gut an der Leine. Im Tierheim wurde Rex geimpft, gechipt und kastriert. Einen Bluttest bekommt er vor seiner Ausreise. Er wurde im September 2021 geboren und ist 49 cm groß. Er wiegt 20 kg. Im Tierheim ist er seit September 2024. Bei Interesse melden Sie sich bitte unter: 05071 – 4126 oder . Rex im Video:

About Rex

What life with Rex looks like

Rex is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at ITV Grenzenlos e.V. in Essel.

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.
