How do I contact the shelter about Jose?

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

Can I adopt Jose if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Grenzenlose Notfelle 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 Jose 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 Jose 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 Grenzenlose Notfelle e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jose 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.

Jose

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Breed: mixed breed Gender: female Age: 12 years (born June 2012) Height: 49 cm shoulder height 18 kg neutered: yes cat-friendly: Jose was found at the Cluj landfill in September 2012 during our spay/neuter campaign, limping over the trash piles, obviously injured and only about 2 months old. It turned out she had a complicated hip fracture that couldn't be operated on but healed very well. Jose can now run and play just as well as any other dog, it doesn't bother her at all, unfortunately she has become incontinent. Jose is a friendly, energetic, and people-oriented female dog. She is cheerful and lively and loves to run and play in the garden. She is overjoyed by every visit – whether she knows the person or not – and likes to be petted. She can be a bit pushy sometimes and will even jump on people because it is very important to her not to be overlooked. If she is clearly told that it is not allowed, she is also obedient and follows. Jose has only known life outdoors and has lived with different dogs in a group. She sometimes accepts new dogs right away, with some it takes minutes, with others 1-2 days, depending on the sympathy, but after that, they all become her playmates. She can be a bit jealous about food or human attention but can be corrected well. Nevertheless, it is better to feed her separately. Jose knows how to walk on a leash and goes pretty well. At first, she is curious and pulls because she wants to get to the "goal" faster. If she is released, she likes to run around and/or play with the other dogs, but she is always very good at coming when called. Jose is looking for her own family, maybe with a garden, where she can spend a lot of time outdoors. In the house, she would need to wear diapers. Who wouldn't like the pretty female dog? A video with her and her friends on the lawn is available. All our dogs are of course vaccinated and microchipped with an EU Pass! Your information will of course be treated confidentially and used only in the spirit of your request. We will process your request as soon as possible.

Rasse: Mischling Geschlecht: weiblich Alter: 12 Jahre (geb. Juni 2012) Größe: 49 cm Schulterhöhe 18 kg Kastriert: ja Katzenverträglich: Jose wurde September 2012 bei unserer Kastrationskampagne auf der Müllkippe von Cluj gefunden, wie sie, offensichtlich verletzt und erst ca. 2 Monate alt, über die Müllberge humpelte. Es stellte sich heraus, dass sie einen komplizierten Beckenbruch hatte, der nicht operiert werden konnte, jedoch sehr gut verheilte. Jose kann nun genauso gut wie jeder andere Hund laufen und rennen, es stört sie überhaupt nicht, leider ist sie aber inkontinent geblieben. Jose ist eine freundliche, energische und menschenbezogene Hündin. Sie ist froh und munter und mag gerne im Garten herumrennen und spielen. Sie freut sich riesig über jeden Besuch – egal ob sie den Menschen kennt oder nicht und mag es gerne gestreichelt werden. Dabei ist sie manchmal ein wenig aufdringlich und springt auch den Menschen an, denn es ist ihr sehr wichtig nicht übersehen zu werden. Wenn man ihr aber ganz klar sagt, dass es nicht geht, dann ist sie auch folgsam und gehorcht. Jose kennt nur das Leben draußen und hat bis jetzt mit verschiedenen Hunden in einer Hundegruppe gelebt. Neue Hunde akzeptiert sie manchmal gleich, bei manchen dauert es Minuten, bei anderen 1-2 Tage, da entscheidet die Sympathie, aber danach werden alle ihre Spielkameraden. Sie ist manchmal ein wenig eifersüchtig was Futter oder Menschennähe anbelangt, lässt sich aber auch gut korrigieren. Trotzdem ist es besser, wenn sie separat gefüttert wird. Jose kennt Spaziergänge und geht ziemlich gut an der Leine. Am Anfang ist sie neugierig und zieht, weil sie schneller zum “Ziel” ankommen möchte. Wird sie freigelassen, rennt sie gerne umher und/oder spielt mit den Hunden, ist aber jederzeit sehr gut aufrufbar. Jose sucht eine eigene Familie, vielleicht mit einem Garten und die viel Zeit draußen verbringt. Im Haus müsste sie Windeln tragen. Wer mag die hübsche Hündin trotzdem? Ein Video mit ihr und ihren Freunden auf der Wiese Alle unsere Hunde reisen natürlich geimpft und gechippt mit EU-Pass! Bitte haben Sie Verständnis, dass wir nur ernstgemeinte Anfragen mit Namen, Anschrift, Emailadresse und Telefonnummer beantworten können. Ihre Angaben werden selbstverständlich vertraulich behandelt und ausschließlich im Sinne Ihrer Anfrage genutzt. Wir werden Ihre Anfrage schnellstmöglich bearbeiten.

About Jose

What life with Jose looks like

Jose is a extra-large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Grenzenlose Notfelle e.V. in Dittelbrunn.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
