JOSCHA

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 3 months

❤️ Joscha and his siblings were abandoned in 2020 in a remote area of Agiasos, at about 3 months old. They were all fearful and impossible to catch in the open area, so volunteers had to bring water and food daily until a trap could be set. The effort took several days. All of his siblings were adopted, but little Joscha was more traumatized and fearful, and his adoption remains extremely difficult. Despite this, his progress is remarkable: he now trusts touch and affection, and goes on short walks with guidance. Through a virtual adoption, you can become part of his life and help him continue building trust and love. PHOTO ALBUM: CLICK HERE

About JOSCHA

What life with JOSCHA looks like

JOSCHA is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Naxos Animal Welfare Society (NAWS) in Naxos.

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 Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.

Frequently asked

Adopting JOSCHA, answered.

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