How do I contact the shelter about Joker?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe-Moskito e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Joker on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Joker if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhilfe-Moskito 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 Joker 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 Joker 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 Tierhilfe-Moskito e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Joker 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.

Adopt Joker

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Hello everyone…. My name is Joker… I haven’t had the luck to find my perfect family yet. That’s why I want to take matters into my own paws now. As a puppy, I was quickly adopted by a family. But there, I found Grandma weird. So I had to move out again. Then I was adopted by another family. But that didn’t quite work out either. Because I felt that I needed to make decisions. Unfortunately, that wasn’t what my family wanted. So I had to move out again too. Now I’ve been living for a long time in this shelter-like facility in Rethem and I’m waiting for the right person to finally find me. Actually, I am a very loving, friendly, and open young male dog. I love my primary caregiver or family more than anything. I learn extremely quickly and always try to behave properly. However, I have a certain control issue. Because sometimes I find strangers or visitors a bit strange. That’s where you come in. You need to provide clear leadership here. I’ve learned that when visitors come, I should go to my place and not leave it. I have a large crate in the house. It’s my den, and I really like this spot. If my foster mom thinks she can’t keep an eye on me at the moment, she simply closes the door. For me, that’s totally fine. I like other dogs and enjoy playing with them. My foster mom says I’m a very social dog.

Hallo Leute…. Ich heiße Joker… Ich hatte bisher nicht das Glück die perfekte Familie für mich zu finden. Deshalb will ich das jetzt mal selbst in die Pfote nehmen.Als Welpe wurde ich schnell von einer Familie adoptiert. Doch dort fand ich die Oma doof. Also musste ich wieder ausziehen. Dann wurde ich von einer anderen Familie adoptiert. Aber das passte irgendwie auch nicht. Denn ich hatte das Gefühl das ich Dinge entscheiden muss. Leider war das nicht im Sinne meiner Familie. Also musste ich da auch wieder ausziehen. Nun lebe ich schon lange hier in der tierheimähnlichen Einrichtung in Rethem und warte darauf das endlich der richtige Mensch mich findet. Eigentlich bin ich ein total lieber, freundlicher und aufgeschlossener junger Rüde. Ich liebe meine Bezugsperson oder Familie über alles. Ich lerne extrem schnell und versuche mich immer richtig zu verhalten. Dennoch habe ich ein gewissen Kontrollzwang. Denn ich finde fremde Menschen oder Besuch manchmal etwas merkwürdig. Genau da bist Du gefragt. Du musst mir hier klare Führung geben. Ich habe gelernt, dass ich bei Besuch auf mein Platz gehe und diesen nicht verlassen soll. Ich habe hier im Haus ein großen Zimmerkäfig. Das ist meine Höhle und diesen Platz finde ich richtig klasse. Wenn mein Pflegefrauchen meint das sie im Moment nicht aufpassen kann. Macht sie einfach das Türchen zu. Für mich ist das völlig OK.Ich mag andere Hunde und spiele auch gern mit ihnen. Mein Pflegefrauchen sagt, das ich ein sehr sozialer Hund bin. Üb

About Joker

What life with Joker looks like

Joker is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe-Moskito e.V. in Germany.

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.
