Joci T

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Joci - his past was cruel, but his future should be beautiful Joci came to us from Sarkad. This tiny puppy was mistreated by children in front of a supermarket. Fortunately, there was a person who did not just look away. An employee of the supermarket took Joci to safety and contacted us. When Joci arrived at our shelter, it broke our hearts. The little guy was so afraid of human touch that he urinated and defecated every time his little body was touched in the first days. What he had experienced in his short life had already left deep scars in his little soul. But Joci began to learn. Day by day. Step by step. He learned that human hands do not only inflict pain. Hands can also gently stroke. They can protect, comfort, give security and give love. And today? Today Joci is almost unrecognizable. From the frightened little puppy, a happy, happy and friendly little guy has become, who loves almost every person he meets. He seeks the proximity to people, wants to play, make friends and finally just do what a puppy should do: discover the world and enjoy life. Joci currently lives with a friend in foster care and shares his home there with Alex as well as other dogs and cats. He is thus already accustomed to living with other animals. Joci had an incredibly difficult start in life. But we do not want his past to determine his future. We wish for this little fighter a family that shows him how beautiful a dog's life can be. People whose hands never mean fear again, but warmth, protection and security. Someone by whose side Joci can sleep safely. Someone who promises him that he will never be alone again. Joci does not need a perfect home. He needs a home where he is loved - forever. Maybe you are the person who turns his sad past into a beautiful future. Departure to Germany: from October 31, 2026

Joci – seine Vergangenheit war grausam, doch seine Zukunft soll wunderschön werdenJoci kam aus Sarkad zu uns. Dieser winzige Welpe wurde vor einem Supermarkt von Kindern misshandelt. Zum Glück gab es einen Menschen, der nicht einfach weggesehen hat. Eine Mitarbeiterin des Supermarktes nahm Joci in Sicherheit und kontaktierte uns.Als Joci bei uns ankam, brach es uns das Herz. Der kleine Kerl hatte so große Angst vor menschlicher Berührung, dass er in den ersten Tagen jedes Mal urinierte und kotete, sobald man seinen kleinen Körper berührte. Was er in seinem noch so kurzen Leben erlebt hatte, hatte bereits tiefe Spuren in seiner kleinen Seele hinterlassen.Doch Joci begann zu lernen. Tag für Tag. Schritt für Schritt.Er lernte, dass menschliche Hände nicht nur Schmerzen zufügen. Hände können auch ganz sanft streicheln. Sie können beschützen, trösten, Sicherheit geben und Liebe schenken.Und heute? Heute ist Joci kaum wiederzuerkennen.Aus dem verängstigten kleinen Welpen ist ein fröhlicher, glücklicher und freundlicher kleiner Kerl geworden, der fast jeden Menschen liebt, dem er begegnet. Er sucht die Nähe zu Menschen, möchte spielen, Freunde finden und endlich einfach das tun, was ein Welpe tun sollte: die Welt entdecken und das Leben genießen.Joci lebt derzeit bei einer Freundin in Pflege und teilt sich sein Zuhause dort mit Alex sowie weiteren Hunden und Katzen. Er ist somit bereits daran gewöhnt, mit anderen Tieren zusammenzuleben.Joci hatte einen unglaublich schweren Start ins Leben. Aber wir möchten nicht, dass seine Vergangenheit seine Zukunft bestimmt.Wir wünschen uns für diesen kleinen Kämpfer eine Familie, die ihm zeigt, wie wunderschön ein Hundeleben sein kann. Menschen, deren Hände niemals wieder Angst bedeuten, sondern Wärme, Schutz und Geborgenheit.Jemanden, an dessen Seite Joci sicher einschlafen kann. Jemanden, der ihm verspricht, dass er nie wieder alleine sein muss.Joci braucht kein perfektes Zuhause. Er braucht ein Zuhause, in dem er geliebt wird – für immer.Vielleicht bist du der Mensch, der aus seiner traurigen Vergangenheit eine wunderschöne Zukunft macht. Ausreise nach Deutschland: ab dem 31.10.2026

About Joci T

What life with Joci T looks like

Joci T is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. in Nordwalde.

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 Joci T, answered.

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