Josh

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Josh, 2023 geboren und etwa 45 cm groß, erinnert optisch ein wenig an einen Beagle – und sein lieber, offener Blick berührt sofort. Er ist ein junger Rüde, der trotz eines schweren Starts ins Leben seine Lebensfreude nicht verloren hat.Seine Geschichte beginnt auf Rumäniens Straßen. Eine ältere Dame hatte Mitleid und ließ ihn in ihrem Garten schlafen. Doch den Nachbarn missfiel das – und Josh wurde schwer verletzt. Er erlitt eine große Kopfwunde, die ihn beinahe das Leben gekostet hätte.Trotz allem hat Josh sich sein fröhliches Wesen bewahrt. Er ist freundlich, menschenbezogen und aufgeschlossen. Er kennt bereits das Laufen an der Leine, lässt sich sehr gerne streicheln und genießt den Kontakt zu Menschen sichtbar. Spaziergänge, spannende Schnüffelrunden und jede Form von Aufmerksamkeit machen ihn glücklich – Josh möchte dazugehören, lernen und endlich ankommen.Er hat bewiesen, wie stark und lebensfroh er ist – jetzt fehlt ihm nur noch eines: ein sicheres, liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er für immer bleiben darf.Wer schenkt diesem tapferen Schatz endlich das Happy End, das er so sehr verdient?Josh ist kastriert und wird geimpft, gechipt und nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.

About Josh

What life with Josh looks like

Josh is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

An young 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 Josh, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Josh?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Vierbeiner in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Josh on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Josh if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Vierbeiner in Not 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 Josh 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 Josh 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 Vierbeiner in Not e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Josh 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.
