Joschi

Mixed Breed · Unknown

The small Jersey-mix bull was born in August in the Saarland region of Iseringhausen. The nearby bio-farmer operates a dairy cow farm. These cows must give birth to a calf each year to produce milk continuously. Their milk is naturally meant for the calves, but humans, as the only mammals, apparently believe they must continue to drink cow milk even as adults. The farmer therefore keeps female calves to grow into dairy cows, but he can't use male Jersey cattle well, as this small cattle breed isn't suitable for fattening. Jersey cattle are a "dairy breed." Therefore, the farmer often advertises the males on eBay. An animal rescuer from northern Germany had bought a calf from him but couldn't find a way to transport it to her life farm in Lübeck. She asked if we could help. Our call to her likely saved Joschi from an early fate as dog food. For we decided to transport the calf to northern Germany for the animal rescuer, making the journey worthwhile (and not leaving a single calf alone), and also took a calf to our foster home in Rehden. Our caretaker in Rehden had, in the meantime, bought a calf named Freya from a neighboring farm to be a new companion for Joschi. Joschi and Freya were thus very lucky and quickly became friends.

Der kleine Jersey-Mix-Bulle kam in August im sauerländischen Iseringhausen zur Welt. Der Bio-Bauer dort betreibt einen Milchkuh-Hof. Diese müssen jedes Jahr ein Kalb zur Welt bringen, damit sie auf Dauer so viel Milch geben. Eigentlich ist ihre Milch natürlich für die Kälber bestimmt, aber der Mensch meint als einziges Säugetier, leider auch im Erwachsenenalter noch die Milch der Kühe trinken zu müssen. Weibliche Kälber behält der Landwirt deshalb, sie wachsen zu Milchkühen heran. Männliche Jerseyrinder dagegen kann er nicht gut brauchen, diese zierliche Rinderrasse eignet sich nicht für die Mast. Jerseyrinder sind eine „Milchrasse“. Deshalb inseriert der Landwirt die männlichen Tiere gerne bei eBay. Eine Tierschützerin aus Norddeutschland hatte ein Kalb bei ihm gekauft, aber keine Transportmöglichkeit zu ihrem Lebenshof bei Lübeck gefunden. Sie fragte, ob wir helfen können. Ihr Anruf bei uns rettete Joschi vermutlich davor, frühzeitig als Hundefutter zu enden. Denn wir entschieden, das Kalb für die Tierschützerin nach Norddeutschland zu fahren und damit sich der Transport so richtig lohnte (und das eine Kalb nicht allein fahren musste) , für unsere Pflegestelle Rehden auch ein Kalb mitzunehmen. Unser Betreuer in Rehden hatte zwischenzeitlich das Kalb Freya von einem Nachbarhof als neue Gefährtin für Joschi gekauft. Joschi und Freya hatten also großes Glück und freundeten sich auch schnell an.

About Joschi

What life with Joschi looks like

Joschi is a medium-sized adult mixed breed animal waiting at Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. in Drolshagen.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Joschi far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Joschi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Joschi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Joschi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Joschi if I live in another country?
Sometimes. Whether a animal can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Joschi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
What a animal comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. directly what is included and what Joschi still needs.
What happens if Joschi 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 Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Joschi 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.
