Adopt Johannes

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

General Name: Johannes Gender: male Dog neutered: Yes Born approximately: 2024 Size approximately: 53cm Accommodation: Shelter in Sighetu since December 2025 Sponsors: No Reserved: No Character Johannes is currently waiting at the shelter for his second chance. Originally, he lived in a foster home, but had to leave because they expected a guard dog from him. However, he does not bark at people on the property, shows no guarding instinct, and greets everyone kindly and openly. Johannes is a gentle, loving dog who prefers to lie comfortably in the grass, enjoy the sun, and patiently wait for his cuddles. Johannes is therefore not a protector of the property, but a loyal companion. He gets along well with other animals. Compatibility with cats can be tested. Past Information about the past is unknown. He probably comes from the street or was abandoned there. Notes The parent animals are unknown, so no information can be given about the breeds included.

About Johannes

What life with Johannes looks like

Johannes is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Freundeskreis Notfellchen e.V. in Dorsten.

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 Johannes, answered.

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