Joris

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

affectionate young fellow seeks lovely home 🐾 Joris is a wonderful, compact little male dog who will turn two years old in October and has developed very well with us at the animal shelter. He shows himself to be a pleasant, calm, and balanced dog with a friendly nature and an agreeably unexcitable temperament. 🐕 With other dogs, Joris is super compatible, social, and uncomplicated. A pre-existing dog buddy would therefore be well conceivable and could even provide additional security in a new home. Also, staying alone for a few hours already works out well. Joris needs people who can foster him with calmness, clarity, and love. In new or uncertain situations, he sometimes falls back into his little "snail house" and would rather not go further. Here, a bit of patience, understanding, and people who can convey security without pressuring him are needed. With support and trust, he develops very beautifully and has already made great progress. We wish for Joris a more quiet household with people who enjoy accompanying him on his journey. Attending a good dog training class would be wonderful so that he can gain even more security and grow together with his people. For someone looking for a loving, pleasant, socially compatible little male dog who is not a go-getter but rather a fine, sensitive companion with great potential, Joris will find a wonderful lifelong friend 🐾 STECKBRIEF In the animal shelter since 17.01.26 Age 01.10.2024 Breed mixed breed Gender male neutered Origin Romania Brunopet Surrender reason Animal welfare With cats / small animals, a test must be done With children?

angenehmer junger Kerl sucht schönes Zuhause 🐾 Joris ist ein toller, kompakter kleiner Rüde, der im Oktober zwei Jahre alt wird und sich bei uns im Tierheim sehr schön entwickelt hat. Er zeigt sich als angenehmer, ruhiger und ausgeglichener Hund mit freundlichem Wesen und einem angenehm unaufgeregten Temperament. 🐕 Mit anderen Hunden ist Joris super verträglich, sozial und unkompliziert. Ein vorhandener Hundekumpel wäre deshalb gut vorstellbar und könnte ihm in einem neuen Zuhause sogar zusätzliche Sicherheit geben. Auch stundenweise alleine bleiben klappt bereits gut. Joris braucht Menschen, die ihn ruhig, klar und liebevoll fördern. In neuen oder unsicheren Situationen fällt er manchmal noch in sein kleines „Schneckenhaus“ zurück und möchte lieber nicht weitergehen. Hier braucht es etwas Geduld, Verständnis und Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit vermitteln, ohne ihn zu bedrängen. Mit Förderung und Vertrauen entwickelt er sich aber sehr schön weiter und zeigt bereits tolle Fortschritte. Wir wünschen uns für Joris eher einen ruhigeren Haushalt mit Menschen, die Freude daran haben, ihn weiter auf seinem Weg zu begleiten. Der Besuch einer guten Hundeschule wäre schön, damit er noch mehr Sicherheit gewinnen und gemeinsam mit seinen Menschen wachsen kann. Wer einen lieben, angenehmen, sozialverträglichen kleinen Rüden sucht, der kein Draufgänger ist, sondern eher ein feiner, sensibler Begleiter mit großem Potenzial, wird in Joris einen wunderbaren Freund fürs Leben finden 🐾 STECKBRIEF Im Tierheim seit 17.01.26 Alter 01.10.2024 Rasse Mischling Geschlecht männlich kastriert Herkunft Rumänien Brunopet Abgabegrund Übernahme Tierschutz Mit Katzen / Kleintieren muss getestet werden Mit Kindern?

About Joris

What life with Joris looks like

Joris is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Kinzig-Main e.V. (Tierheim Gelnhausen) in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Joris, answered.

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