Joseph

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

The approximately 5-month-old Joseph is gradually settling into life on his foster home and shows himself to be a cheerful, playful, and inquisitive puppy. He meets people, children, and other dogs openly and friendly. At night, he sleeps peacefully, though some noises still startle him – everything is new to him and he needs to get used to his surroundings. Since Joseph is still a puppy, he naturally still needs to learn the dog-1×1. His house-soiling has improved partially, but still needs to be practiced. Stairs also scare him a bit at the moment. For Joseph, we wish to find loving people with patience and time who will show him the world step by step. With the right guidance, he will surely develop into a great companion. Who will give Joseph a loving home?

DE·Show original

Der etwa 5 Monate alte Joseph lebt sich aktuell auf seiner Pflegestelle Schritt für Schritt ein und zeigt sich als fröhlicher, verschmuster und neugieriger Welpe. Menschen, Kindern und anderen Hunden begegnet er offen und freundlich. Nachts schläft er ruhig, manche Geräusche verunsichern ihn jedoch noch etwas – alles ist neu für ihn und er muss sich erst an seine Umgebung gewöhnen. Da Joseph noch ein Welpe ist, muss er das Hunde-1×1 natürlich noch lernen. Die Stubenreinheit klappt teilweise schon gut, muss aber weiterhin geübt werden. Auch Treppen machen ihm aktuell noch etwas Angst. Für Joseph wünschen wir uns liebevolle Menschen mit Geduld und Zeit, die ihm Schritt für Schritt die Welt zeigen. Mit der richtigen Führung wird er sich bestimmt zu einem tollen Begleiter entwickeln. Wer schenkt Joseph ein liebevolles Zuhause?

About Joseph

What life with Joseph looks like

Joseph is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

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 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. Fellnasen Stuttgart 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 — Fellnasen Stuttgart 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 Fellnasen Stuttgart 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.
