Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Rex Gender: Male Birth: 15.02.2025 In the Ark since: 27.10.2026 Origin: Abandoned by his former owners due to illness Shoulder height: 65cm Weight: 26kg Neutered: not yet Handicaps: no Compatible with dogs: yes Compatible with children: knows children Vaccinated and chipped: yes EU pet passport: yes Adoption fee: €530 Rex is a suspected purebred German Shorthair, which we took over from his former owners due to illness. Unfortunately, Rex has learned very little in his previous home, as he was housed alone and outside the family living space. Due to this past, we are very positively surprised by Rex's behavior. He is friendly to people and seeks closeness. Even during unpleasant touches (e.g. during a vet visit), he remains very cooperative. However, he is quite stormy at the moment and still needs to learn to curb his joy. He shows absolute compatibility with his own kind and is very playful. Sometimes Rex cannot read signals correctly and then reacts visibly confused, but he always remains friendly and ultimately accepts corrections. At our place, he is now getting to know life in the house and walking on a leash. At the moment, he is still quite curious and excited in the house, but for him, this is still a new experience. We are sure that Rex will quickly learn to calm down in the next few weeks. Rex finds walking on a leash quite strange at the moment. Thanks to joint walks with his dog friends, he is already making steady progress, but he is still stormy here. We wish for Rex a home with active people who know and appreciate the characteristics of the German Shorthair. As a young hunting dog, Rex has a high need for activity that must be satisfied cognitively and physically. It should not be forgotten that Rex has not yet learned much and therefore needs a loving but also consistent upbringing so that he can easily settle in his new home. Rex can also move in with an existing first dog, but he does not need one to be happy.

Name: REXGeschlecht: Rüde. Geboren: 15.02.2025 In der Arche seit: 27.10.2026Herkunft: Abgabe Schulterhöhe: 65cm. Gewicht: 26kg. Kastriert: noch nicht Handicaps: nein. Verträglich mitHunden: jaKindern: kennt Kinder Geimpft und gechipt: jaEU-Heimtierausweis: jaSchutzgebühr: 530€ Rex ist ein vermutlich reinrassiger Deutsch Kurzhaar, den wir aus Krankheitsgründen von seinen ehemaligen Besitzern übernommen haben. Leider hat Rex in seinem früheren Zuhause sehr wenig kennengelernt, da er alleine und außerhalb des familiären Wohnraums untergebracht war. Aufgrund dieser Vergangenheit sind wir sehr positiv von Rex’ Verhalten überrascht. Er begegnet Menschen durchweg freundlich und sucht die Nähe. Auch bei unangenehmen Berührungen (bspw. beim Tierarztbesuch) bleibt er sehr kooperativ. Allerdings ist er zu Zeit ziemlich stürmisch und muss noch lernen, seine Freude zu zügeln. Mit Artgenossen zeigt er sich ebenso absolut verträglich und sehr verspielt. Manchmal kann Rex Signale noch nicht richtig lesen und er reagiert dann sichtlich verwirrt, bleibt aber stets freundlich und nimmt Korrekturen dann letztendlich auch gut an. Bei uns lernt er nun das Leben im Haus und das Spazierengehen an der Leine kennen. Zur Zeit ist er im Haus noch ziemlich neugierig und aufgeregt, aber dafür, dass das für ihn noch eine so neue Erfahrung ist, ist sein Verhalten der Situation absolut angemessen. Wir sind uns sicher, dass Rex in den nächsten Wochen schnell lernen wird, auch hier zur Ruhe zu kommen. Das an der Leine laufen findet Rex bisher noch ziemlich skurril. Dank gemeinsamen Spaziergängen mit seinen Hundefreunden macht er bereits stetige Fortschritte, aktuell ist er jedoch auch hier noch stürmisch. Für Rex wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei aktiven Menschen, die die Eigenschaften des Deutsch Kurzhaar kennen und zu schätzen wissen. Als junger Jagdhund hat Rex ein hohes Auslastungsbedürfnis, das kognitiv und körperlich befriedigt werden möchte. Darüber hinaus darf nicht vergessen werden, dass Rex bisher noch nicht viel kennengelernt hat und somit auf eine liebevolle, aber auch konsequente Erziehung angewiesen ist, damit er sich in seinem neuen Zuhause problemlos einfinden kann. Rex darf gerne zu einem vorhandenen Ersthund ziehen, braucht aber auch keinen, um glücklich zu werden. Eine

What life with REX looks like

REX is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. in Germany.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

Adopting REX, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about REX?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Arche Noah Transilvania 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 — Arche Noah Transilvania 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.

Is REX already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most cats 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 Arche Noah Transilvania 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.
