Joey (Iwo)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

neutered: Not yet born: ca. 2023/2024 compatibility with others: Gets along well with other dogs; cats: not known, can be tested. Current location: animal shelter Sokolka (Poland) Joey is a loving, friendly, and people-oriented mixed-breed male dog who gets along well with fellow animals (male dogs and female dogs). He is also very friendly with people. He is so attached to his primary caregiver that he never wants to be apart, is very clingy and cuddly. He could also be rehomed with a family with children or as a second dog. He cries when he is alone in the exercise yard. He is very unhappy in the animal shelter. During the photo shoot, he was very calm and allowed closeness, but was also encouraged to play and go on his hind legs.

Kastriert: Noch nicht Geboren: ca. 2023/2024 Verträglichkeit: Gut mit anderen Hunden verträglich; Katzen: nicht bekannt, kann getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Sokolka (Polen) Joey ist ein lieber, freundlicher und menschenbezogener Mischlingsrüde, der sich mit Artgenossen (Rüden und Hündinnen) gut versteht. Auch zu Menschen zeigt er sich sehr freundlich. Am liebsten weicht er seiner Bezugsperson nicht mehr von der Seite, ist sehr anhänglich und verschmust. Könnte auch in eine Familie mit Kindern oder als Zweithund vermittelt werden. Er weint sobald er alleine im Zwinger ist. Ist sehr unglücklich im Tierheim. Beim Foto Shooting war er ganz ruhig und hat Nähe zugelassen, hat sich aber auch animieren lassen herumzuspielen und auf die Hinterpfoten zu gehen.

About Joey (Iwo)

What life with Joey (Iwo) looks like

Joey (Iwo) is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

An young 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 Joey (Iwo), answered.

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