Foxi

Shiba Inu · Male · Young · 1 year

Foxi or also our kangaroo is looking for an active home. The small male dog was abandoned on the autobahn and was very suspicious of us for the first few days. Foxi is open and cuddly with familiar people and shows himself as a typical young puppy. Shiba Inu, he is very suspicious of strangers, keeping them at a distance for the first time, but with a confident handler, he lets himself in with other people relatively quickly. He is friendly towards female dogs, but will challenge male dogs. Foxi is looking for experienced people who can explain the world to the little kangaroo and that he should not make any independent decisions. We do not place Foxi with a family with younger children. This is a young, adolescent dog.

Foxi oder auch unser Känguru sucht ein aktives Zuhause Der kleine Rüde wurde an der Autobahn ausgesetzt und war die ersten Tage sehr misstrauisch uns gegenüber. Foxi ist vertrauten Menschen gegenüber offen und verschmust, zeigt sich hier als typischer Junghund. Shiba Inu mäßig zeigt er sich sehr misstrauisch gegenüber Fremden, diese versucht er die erste Zeit auf Abstand zu halten, bei einer souveränen Führung lässt er sich relativ schnell auf den anderen Menschen ein. Hündinnen gegenüber zeigt er sich freundlich, Rüden werden angepöbelt. Foxi sucht erfahrende Menschen die dem kleinen Känguru die Welt erklären und dass er keine eigenständigen Entscheidungen treffen soll. Wir vermitteln Foxi nicht an eine Familie mit kleineren Kindern.

About Foxi

What life with Foxi looks like

Foxi is a medium-sized young adult shiba inu dog waiting at Tierheim Mülheim in Mülheim.

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 Foxi, answered.

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