Joost

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

A male mixed-breed dog, approximately 42 cm tall and weighing 14 kg, was born around June 2020 in Romania. He has been living at a shelter for three years before being adopted by his new family. JOOST is very friendly with other dogs and quickly adapted to the group. In Romania, he seemed to have had a sofa as his favorite spot, jumping straight onto it. He enjoys human company and loves being petted. Initially wary of strangers, he needs time to determine if they mean well. JOOST likes outdoor activities and is actively training to ensure that approaching people or objects do not pose a threat. Currently, he tends to avoid such situations, but this will improve with practice. We are looking for people who want a loyal companion and prefer a natural living environment. After processing his time in the shelter, JOOST can start attending dog school and other activities. Contact: Marika Email: Our dogs are vaccinated (rabies and 2x basic immunization), microchipped, and equipped with an EU pet passport. They have been tested for common Mediterranean diseases: babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, leishmaniasis, rickettsia, filariae, hepatozoonosis, and anaplasmosis at our expense (we cover the laboratory fees). Only dogs with a positive preliminary test result (home visit) are offered against a deposit fee with a contract. Important documents: Self-disclosure for adopters Self-disclosure for foster homes *The information about the dogs (especially those still in Romania) is provided without warranty. The records only represent snapshots of the moment. Volunteers have recorded the dogs to the best of their knowledge and belief. Therefore, there may be discrepancies regarding age, size, gender, health, and behavior. We are an active alliance partner! Tierhilfe Lebenswert e.V.

Herkunftsland: Rumänien. Rasse: Mischling. Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert. Farbe: braun-weißSchulterhöhe: 42 cm. Gewicht: 14 kgGeburtsdatum: ca. Juni 2020Standort: 99427 Weimar JOOST hat 3 Jahre im rumänischen Riesenshelter gewartet und darf nun die schönen Seiten des Lebens genießen. Er ist absolut verträglich mit anderen Hunden und hat sich schnell in die Gruppe eingefügt. Ein Sofa scheint es in Rumänien für ihn gegeben zu haben, denn er hopste schnurstracks drauf. Er sucht die Nähe zu seinen Menschen und lässt sich von ihnen gern streicheln. Fremde Menschen beäugt er erstmal mit ein wenig Abstand, denn wer Gutes mit ihm meint, muss er erstmal noch herausfinden. JOOST ist gern in der Natur unterwegs und trainiert fleißig, dass entgegen kommende Menschen etc. keine Gefahr für ihn darstellen. Momentan weicht er in solchen Situationen noch etwas aus, was jedoch am Anfang völlig fein ist. Übung macht den Meister! Für JOOST suchen wir Menschen, die einen treuen Begleiter suchen und die möglichst naturnah wohnen. JOOST sollte die lange Zeit des Eingesperrtseins erstmal in Ruhe verarbeiten dürfen, bevor es an Aufgaben wie Hundeschule usw. geht. Kontakt:Marikamail: Unsere Hunde sind geimpft (Tollwut und 2x Grundimmunisierung) sind gechippt und mit dem EU-Heimtierausweis ausgestattet werden auf unsere Kosten (wir übernehmen die Labor-Gebühren) auf die gängigen Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet: Babesiose, Ehrlichiose, Leishmaniose, Rickettsien, Filarien, Hepatozoonose, Anaplasmose werden nur nach positiver Vorkontrolle (Hausbesuch) gegen eine Schutzgebühr mit Schutzvertrag vermittelt.

About Joost

What life with Joost looks like

Joost is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Lebenswert e.V. in Oberwies.

An 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 Joost, answered.

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