Joe

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Joe is found near a volunteer of Zakynthos Animal Welfare Fund (ZAWF). This man has a piece of land where he takes in dogs as a foster for ZAWF. Residents seem to know about this, as it is no coincidence that Joe was dumped nearby. The man had no place for a dog, which is not an option for a dog lover. Since Joe is a sweet dog, he could join the others. So Joe came to his care. He gets good care, but his ideal place is not there. So ZAWF asked if we can find a golden basket for him or a foster family. Joe was born around July 2023, vaccinated and neutered. Joe is a labrador mix, probably with some hunting dog in him. Not surprisingly, many hunting dogs are left to their fate on Zakynthos. A volunteer of us recently visited Zakynthos. She met Joe and describes him as a fun, enthusiastic dog. He is a real affectionate "spring-in-the-field". Joe is eager to go on an adventure, take long walks and snuggle up to you after an active day for a well-deserved hug. What is the ideal place for Joe? We are looking for active and sporty adopters. Joe needs a master who loves long walks, running or challenging search and play games to get rid of his physical and mental energy. Joe still has a lot to learn once he is in the Netherlands. People who have the time and patience, help him get used to the Netherlands through positive training and structure. A fenced garden where he can safely release his energy, or a living environment with a lot of nature nearby, is also a must for Joe. Experience with hunting dogs is a plus.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Joe is gevonden in de buurt van een vrijwilliger van Zakynthos Animal Welfare Fund (ZAWF). Deze man heeft een stukje grond, waar hij als gastgezin voor ZAWF een aantal honden opvangt. Bewoners lijken dat te weten, want het is geen toeval dat Joe net daar in de buurt is gedumpt. Eigenlijk had de man geen plek maar een hond aan zijn lot over laten, is voor een dierenliefhebber natuurlijk geen optie. En omdat Joe een lieve hond is, kon hij hem bij de anderen voegen. Zo kwam Joe bij hem in de opvang. Hij krijgt goede zorg maar zijn ideale plek is het niet. Dus ZAWF heeft gevraagd of wij een gouden mand voor hem kunnen zoeken of een gastgezin. Joe is geboren rond juli 2023, gevaccineerd en geneutraliseerd Joe is een labradormix, waarschijnlijk zit er ook iets van een jachthond in hem. Niet verwonderlijk, er worden helaas veel jachthonden aan hun lot overgelaten op Zakynthos. Een vrijwilliger van ons, was onlangs op Zakynthos. Zij heeft kennisgemaakt met Joe. Zij omschrijft Joe als een leuke, enthousiaste hond. Hij is een echte aanhankelijke ‘spring-in-'t-veld' Joe staat te trappelen om op avontuur te gaan, lange wandelingen te maken en na een actieve dag heerlijk dicht tegen je aan te kruipen voor een welverdiende knuffel. Wat is dan de ideale plek voor Joe? Wij zijn op zoek naar actieve en sportieve adoptanten. Joe heeft een baasje nodig dat houdt van lange wandelingen, hardlopen of uitdagende zoek- en speelspelletjes om zijn fysieke én mentale energie kwijt te kunnen. Joe heeft nog wel e.e.a. te leren als hij eenmaal in Nederland is . Mensen die de tijd en het geduld hebben, hem d.m.v. van positieve training en structuur hem helpen een te wennen in Nederland. Een omheinde tuin waarin hij veilig zijn energie kwijt kan, of een woonomgeving met veel natuur in de buurt, is ook een must voor Joe. Ervaring met (jacht)honden is een pré.

About Joe

What life with Joe looks like

Joe is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Wereldhonden in Netherlands.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Joe, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Joe?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Wereldhonden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Joe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Joe if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Wereldhonden 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Joe 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 Joe 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 Stichting Wereldhonden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Joe 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 (NL). 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.
