Nearly Blind Rescue Dog Rexi Finds a New Home With Help From Martin Rütter

An RTL program now documents his move-in following nearly two years in shelter care.

Overview

  • Rexi, a five-year-old Poodle–Terrier mix rescued in Romania after a dog attack, can see only shadows and outlines in one eye.
  • The Free Dogs group in Ostfriesland cared for him for nearly two years as he awaited adopters willing to accommodate his disability.
  • Oranienburg couple Almut and Malte adopted him after preparing safety measures such as child gates for stairs and bell-based audio cues.
  • Trainer Yvonne Brohme from Martin Rütter’s team guided the first days at home, stressing clear walkways, fixed bowl placement, supervision and keeping him leashed indoors initially.
  • Rexi’s gentle, affectionate nature was evident during the handover, and the placement is featured on RTL’s Die Unvermittelbaren, which airs Sundays at 19:05.
