Joshi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Joshi. I was rescued from the municipal animal shelter Ecosal on April 7, 2026. Since then I have been living at the animal shelter Help Labus in Galati, Romania. Here I am safe and hopefully I will get the chance to learn how beautiful a home can be. But the time at Ecosal has left its mark on me. I am a very anxious and reserved dog. Many things still scare me and I need time to gain trust. New situations and people unsettle me and I prefer to withdraw. But please believe me: I am not aggressive. ❤️ I just have fear and often don't know how to deal with new situations. That's why I wish for people who understand me and don't take it personally. People who ideally have experience with fearful dogs and know that trust doesn't come overnight. I don't need people who push me or expect me to be a cheerful and affectionate family dog right away. I need time. Peace. Patience. Love and security. The first time in my new home will be especially important for me. I need to understand that I have arrived and that no one wants to harm me. Maybe I will be cautious at first and withdraw. Maybe I need some time until I dare to seek closeness on my own. But I want to learn. I want to gain trust. And I want to finally experience what it feels like to be truly loved and have a home of my own. 🥹❤️ I am looking for people who will walk my path with me. People who see small progress and are happy about every single one. People who give me the security that I have been missing so much. I don't promise that it will always be easy with me. But maybe one day I can show you what a wonderful dog is behind my fear. 🐾❤️ Who wants to give me the chance to learn trust and finally arrive?

Hallo, ich bin Joshi. Am 07. April 2026 wurde ich aus dem städtischen Tierheim Ecosal gerettet. Seitdem lebe ich im Tierheim Help Labus in Galati, Rumänien. Hier bin ich in Sicherheit und bekomme hoffentlich die Chance, irgendwann zu erfahren, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann. Doch die Zeit bei Ecosal hat Spuren bei mir hinterlassen. Ich bin ein sehr ängstlicher und zurückhaltender Hund. Viele Dinge machen mir noch Angst, und ich brauche Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Neue Situationen und Menschen verunsichern mich, und ich ziehe mich dann lieber zurück. Aber bitte glaubt mir: Ich bin nicht aggressiv. ❤️ Ich habe einfach Angst und weiß oft noch nicht, wie ich mit neuen Situationen umgehen soll. Deshalb wünsche ich mir Menschen, die mich verstehen und mir nichts übelnehmen. Menschen, die idealerweise Erfahrung mit Angsthunden haben und wissen, dass Vertrauen nicht von heute auf morgen entsteht. Ich brauche keine Menschen, die mich drängen oder von mir erwarten, dass ich sofort ein fröhlicher und zutraulicher Familienhund bin. Ich brauche Zeit. Ruhe. Geduld. Liebe und Sicherheit. Gerade die erste Zeit in meinem neuen Zuhause wird für mich besonders wichtig sein. Ich muss erst verstehen, dass ich angekommen bin und dass mir niemand etwas Böses möchte. Vielleicht werde ich anfangs vorsichtig sein und mich zurückziehen. Vielleicht brauche ich einige Zeit, bis ich mich traue, von selbst Nähe zu suchen. Aber ich möchte lernen. Ich möchte Vertrauen fassen. Und ich möchte endlich erleben, wie es sich anfühlt, wirklich geliebt zu werden und ein eigenes Zuhause zu haben. 🥹❤️ Ich suche Menschen, die meinen Weg gemeinsam mit mir gehen. Menschen, die kleine Fortschritte sehen und sich über jeden einzelnen freuen. Menschen, die mir die Sicherheit geben, die ich bisher so sehr vermisst habe. Ich verspreche euch nicht, dass es mit mir immer einfach wird. Aber vielleicht kann ich euch eines Tages zeigen, was für ein wunderbarer Hund hinter meiner Angst steckt. 🐾❤️ Wer möchte mir die Chance geben, Vertrauen zu lernen und endlich anzukommen?

About Joshi

What life with Joshi looks like

Joshi is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. in Waakirchen.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Joshi, answered.

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