Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Profile: Born in 2020. Gender: male. neutered: yesCharacter: shy, very well compatible with other dogsSize: approx. 47 cmSince in the shelter: March 2022 Shy guy looking for people with big hearts!Hello, I'm Joshi. I'm one of the very shy dogs here in the shelter. That doesn't mean I don't wish for my own family. I'm looking for people who can help me unpack my bag full of worries little by little. People who are aware that it might take longer for me to trust.All too great hope do I make that someone really wants to take me in. Many people shy away from the work that comes with a fearful dog. But as the saying goes, hope is the last to die…Are there out there patient people who will take me by the paw and go through thick and thin with me?If so, please step forward! If you are interested in Joshi, please fill out our application form () or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Joshi is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months old before travel arrangements, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted: Borreliosis, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariosis, and leishmaniasis. The sponsorship for Joshi has been taken over by Stefanie E., and thus ensures a full plate. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!

Kastriert: jaCharakter: schüchtern, sehr gut verträglich mit anderen HundenGröße: ca. 47 cmIm Shelter seit: März 2022 Schüchterner Kerl sucht Menschen mit großem Herzen!Hallo, ich bin Joshi. Ich bin einer der sehr schüchternen Hunde hier im Shelter. Was nicht bedeutet, dass ich mir nicht eine eigene Familie wünsche. Ich suche Menschen, die mit mir meinen Rucksack voller Sorgen nach und nach auspacken. Menschen, denen bewusst ist, dass es länger dauern könnte, bis ich anfange zu vertrauen.Allzu große Hoffnung mache ich mir nicht, dass mich jemand wirklich zu sich holen möchte. Viele Menschen scheuen die Arbeit, die sie mit einem ängstlichen Hund haben. Aber die Hoffnung stirbt ja bekanntlich zuletzt…Gibt es da draußen geduldige Menschen, die mich an die Pfote nehmen und mit mir durch dick und dünn gehen?Wenn ja, dann meldet euch bitte! Wenn Sie Interesse an Joshi haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Joshi ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Die Patenschaft für Joshi hat Stefanie E. übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Joshi E

What life with Joshi E looks like

Joshi E is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Joshi E, answered.

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