How do I contact the shelter about Josef?

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

Can I adopt Josef if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 Josef 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 Josef 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Josef 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.

adoption requirements adoption process Adopt this animal now! adoption requirements adoption process Josef has found a home! His story: This wonderful male dog named Josef is searching for his home. As with our shelter dogs, we know nothing of his past. Found on the street and then brought to the animal shelter. A blessing and a curse. For while the dogs are then in safety, they suffer greatly… Now it is time to find a beautiful and fitting home for the big guy. Josef is approximately 5 years old and has a size of 65 cm. Josef has developed well and is an incredibly friendly and open character who enjoys attention from people and cuddles up to whoever visits him. He is very happy about cuddles and will even lie on the ground and doesn't want to stop being stroked. He gets along well with his fellow animals on site. Due to his appearance, we cannot rule out that Josef may have herding gene. These are not city dogs; they need a yard to guard and people to form a bond with to be content and happy according to their nature. On walks, they show their independence. Building trust is important, and with these independent dogs, you must first earn their trust. Strict obedience is not their thing; they like to make their own decisions. Those who know these dogs love this character. You will be rewarded with an absolutely loyal companion in all life situations. For Josef, we are now searching for loving people who have the necessary patience and empathy and of course the right place for him. House, garden, property, yard, retreat options, from which he can observe everything around him. Children should already be older and stable. Who will give Josef this place where he can be at home? We thank Sunny W. heartily for naming him with such a beautiful name. Many thanks to Tatjana H.! You are supporting Josef with a monthly sponsorship! As of: 07.07. This animal is vaccinated. This animal is microchipped.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Josef hat ein Zuhause gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Dieser wunderschöne Rüde namens Josef sucht sein Zuhause. Wie so oft bei unseren Shelterhunden kennt man keinerlei Vergangenheit. Auf der Straße gefunden und dann ins Tierheim gebracht. Fluch und Segen zugleich. Denn auch wenn die Hunde dann in Sicherheit sind, sie leiden sehr… Nun gilt es, für den großen Burschen ein schönes und passendes Zuhause zu finden. Josef ist etwa 5 Jahre alt und hat eine stattliche Größe von 65 cm. Josef hat sich toll entwickelt und ist ein unheimlich freundlicher und offener Kerl, der die Aufmerksamkeit von Menschen genießt und sich ganz doll an einen drückt, wenn wir ihn besuchen. Über Streicheleinheiten freut er sich sehr und schmeißt sich dann auch gerne mal auf den Boden und möchte gar nicht, dass man aufhört ihn zu streicheln. Mit seinen Artgenossen vor Ort ist er verträglich. Aufgrund seiner Optik können wir nicht ausschließen, dass Josef Herdenschutzgene mitbringt. Das sind keine Hunde für die Stadt, sie benötigen zum Glücklichsein ein Gelände, welches sie bewachen können und Menschen, zu denen sie eine Bindung aufbauen können, um ihrem Wesen nach ausgelastet und glücklich zu sein. Auf Spaziergängen zeigen sie sich eigenständig. Wichtig ist der Aufbau von Vertrauen, das man sich bei diesen unabhängigen Hunden zunächst verdienen muss. Strikter Gehorsam ist nicht ihr Ding, sie entscheiden gerne selbständig. Kenner dieser Hunde lieben gerade diesen Charakter. Belohnt wird man mit einem absolut loyalen Begleiter in allen Lebenslagen. Für Josef suchen wir nun liebevolle Menschen, die die nötige Geduld und Empathie und natürlich den passenden Platz für ihn haben. Haus, Garten, Grundstück, Hof, Rückzugsmöglichkeiten, aus denen er alles um ihn herum beobachten kann. Kinder sollten bereits grösser und standfest sein. Nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle kann Josef kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro in sein neues Zuhause reisen. Wer schenkt unserem Josef diesen Platz, an dem er daheim sein kann? Wir bedanken uns herzlich bei der Namenspatin Sunny W., die ihm seinen schönen Namen geschenkt hat. Vielen Dank Tatjana H.! Du unterstützt Josef mit einer monatlichen Patenschaft! Stand: 07.07.2024

About Josef

What life with Josef looks like

Josef is a extra-large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

An 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.
