adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! Joseph has found a home! His story: Joseph is an imposing male dog, a true giant with a heart of gold. His appearance, his height of 65 cm at the shoulder and his weight of about 50 kg suggest that strong breeds like the Herderschutzhund and possibly a Cane Corso are represented in his ancestry. Joseph was rescued from a village near Bologa after his owner passed away and the heirs, who live in an apartment, were unable to take him in. Despite his impressive appearance, Joseph is extremely friendly, cuddly, and gentle with people – a true "golden soul." Currently, he lives problem-free in a pen with a female dog; his reaction to cats is unknown. He is social and clingy and is now searching for a home where he can experience love, time, and protection. Due to the suspected breed proportions (HSH/Cane Corso), Joseph is not a beginner dog. Herderschutzhunde are known for their strong territorial protective drive and independence, while Molossers like the Cane Corso are also confident and protective. Therefore, Joseph requires experienced, confident, and consistent owners who are familiar with the special requirements of these breeds. His new home should offer him clear structures and boundaries so that he feels safe and his watchfulness can be positively channeled. Ideally, his family has a secure, fenced property or a house with a garden. Joseph is looking for people who are willing to invest in his education and socialization and to provide the necessary stimulation to do justice to his potential. He will be a loyal and devoted companion to his new owner who meets these requirements. Ready to take on this challenge? Joseph travels neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated, together with his EU pet passport. For a positive But also a foster home would be a good option. The following should be noted: In the federal states of Bavaria and Brandenburg, the Cane Corso is on the rasse-list of category 2. To be able to enter and be exempt from the leash and muzzle requirement, a behavioral assessment is required. An entry into Switzerland is generally not possible for him. Thank you, Claudia, you have given Joseph his name and thus an identity! Date: 26.11.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt diesen Hund anfragen! Joseph hat sein Zuhause gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Joseph ist ein imposanter Rüde, ein wahrer Gigant mit einem Herz aus Gold. Sein Aussehen, seine Größe von 65 cm Schulterhöhe und sein Gewicht von etwa 50 kg legen die Vermutung nahe, dass in seiner Ahnenreihe kräftige Rassen wie der Herdenschutzhund und möglicherweise ein Cane Corso vertreten sind. Joseph wurde aus einem Dorf nahe Bologa gerettet, nachdem sein Besitzer verstarb und die Erben, die in einer Wohnung leben, ihn nicht übernehmen konnten. Trotz seiner beachtlichen Erscheinung ist Joseph mit Menschen äußerst freundlich, verschmust und sanftmütig – eine wahre „goldene Seele“. Aktuell lebt er problemlos in einem Gehege mit einer Hündin zusammen; seine Reaktion auf Katzen ist unbekannt. Er ist sozial und anhänglich und sucht nun nach einem Zuhause, in dem er Liebe, Zeit und Schutz erfahren kann. Aufgrund der vermuteten Rassenanteile (HSH/Cane Corso) ist Joseph jedoch kein Anfängerhund. Herdenschutzhunde sind bekannt für ihren starken territorialen Schutztrieb und ihre Unabhängigkeit, während Molosser wie der Cane Corso ebenfalls selbstbewusst und schutzorientiert sind. Joseph benötigt daher dringend erfahrene, souveräne und konsequente Halter, die mit den besonderen Anforderungen dieser Rassen vertraut sind. Sein neues Zuhause sollte ihm klare Strukturen und Grenzen bieten, damit er sich sicher fühlt und seine Wachsamkeit positiv kanalisiert werden kann. Idealerweise verfügt seine Familie über ein sicheres, eingezäuntes Grundstück oder ein Haus mit Garten. Joseph sucht Menschen, die bereit sind, in seine Erziehung und Sozialisierung zu investieren und ihm die notwendige Auslastung zu bieten, um seinen Anlagen gerecht zu werden. Er wird seinem neuen Halter, der diese Anforderungen erfüllt, ein loyaler und anhänglicher Begleiter sein. Bereit Dich dieser Herausforderung zu stellen? Joseph reist kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht, zusammen mit seinem EU-Heimtierausweis. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle kann er gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro vermittelt werden. Aber auch eine Pflegestelle wäre eine gute Option. Folgendes ist zu beachten: In den Bundesländern Bayern und Brandenburg steht der Cane Corso auf der Rasseliste der Kategorie 2. Um dort einreisen zu können und von der Leinen- und Maulkorbpflicht befreit zu werden, ist ein Wesenstest erforderlich. Eine Einreise in die Schweiz ist ihm generell nicht möglich. Danke, Claudia, Du hast Joseph seinen Namen geschenkt und damit eine Identität! Stand: 26.11.2025

About Joseph

What life with Joseph looks like

Joseph 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Joseph, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Joseph?
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 Joseph on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Joseph 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 Joseph 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 Joseph 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 Joseph 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.
