Rex

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Mixed-breed Rex is looking for people with heart and patience. Rex came to the shelter in July 2026 at about seven or eight months old. The beautiful mixed-breed male was given up by his owners and had to experience loss at a young age. A foster family initially took him in and gave him hope. However, just a few months later their circumstances changed, so Rex had to be left behind again. Despite everything, Rex has retained his loving nature. He is a rather shy young dog who looks for people who approach him with patience, understanding, and gentle guidance. This way he can gradually gain trust and develop self-confidence. Rex is already showing great progress. He has met two female dogs and learns every day a little more to trust them and feel safe in their presence. Rex is an animal shelter dog and brings - like many dogs from abroad - his very own backpack. That's why he's looking for people who are willing to give him the time he needs, and lovefully, consistently, and without pressure accompany him in his new life. With patience, understanding, and a secure leadership, he can become a wonderful companion for life. Now all Rex is missing is: his forever home. Of course, he would also be very happy about a loving foster family that enables him to start a new life. If you think Rex might be the right fit for you and you want to give him the chance at a happy dog life, we'd love it if you contacted his responsible caregiver. Here is Rex's video

Mischling Rex sucht Menschen mit Herz und Geduld Rex kam im Juli 2026 im Alter von etwa sieben bis acht Monaten ins Tierheim. Der wunderschöne Mischlingsrüde wurde von seinen Besitzern abgegeben und musste schon in jungen Jahren erfahren, wie sich Verlust anfühlt. Eine Pflegefamilie nahm ihn zunächst bei sich auf und schenkte ihm Hoffnung. Doch nur wenige Monate später änderten sich ihre Lebensumstände, sodass Rex erneut zurückbleiben musste. Trotz allem hat sich Rex sein liebevolles Wesen bewahrt. Er ist ein eher schüchterner junger Hund, der Menschen sucht, die ihm mit Geduld, Verständnis und einer sanften Führung begegnen. So kann er Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen fassen und sein Selbstvertrauen entwickeln. Bereits jetzt zeigt Rex tolle Fortschritte. Er hat zwei Hündinnen kennengelernt und lernt jeden Tag ein bisschen mehr, ihnen zu vertrauen und sich in ihrer Nähe sicher zu fühlen. Rex ist ein Tierschutzhund und bringt – wie viele Hunde aus dem Ausland – seinen ganz eigenen Rucksack mit. Deshalb sucht er Menschen, die bereit sind, ihm die Zeit zu geben, die er braucht, und ihn liebevoll, konsequent und ohne Druck in seinem neuen Leben begleiten. Mit Geduld, Verständnis und einer sicheren Führung kann aus ihm ein wundervoller Begleiter fürs Leben werden. Nun fehlt Rex nur noch eines: sein Für-immer-Zuhause. Natürlich würde er sich auch sehr über eine liebevolle Pflegestelle freuen, die ihm den Start in ein neues Leben ermöglicht. Wenn Sie glauben, dass Rex genau zu Ihnen passen könnte und Sie ihm die Chance auf ein glückliches Hundeleben schenken möchten, freuen wir uns sehr, wenn Sie sich bei seiner zuständigen Vermittlerin melden.

About Rex

What life with Rex looks like

Rex is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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. SALVA Hundehilfe 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 — SALVA Hundehilfe 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 SALVA Hundehilfe 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.
