Adopt JOSHY

Podenco · Male

They say I'm a funny little Hundemann. My gaze tells a thousand stories … but I know very little about real life. I very much wish to find a loving home where they will ensure I'm not overwhelmed and will help me slowly get used to everything that is new to me. My story: I and my siblings were born in the residence of Hundehilfe Motril. We are Christmas children, so we're probably also as sweet as candy. Our loving mom, Mia, has certainly contributed a great deal to that. You can learn more about our story in Mia's ad.

Sie sagen ich wäre ein lustiger kleiner Hundemann. Mein Blick erzählt tausend Dinge … doch kenne ich vom wirklichen Leben noch sehr wenig. Ich wünsche mir sehr ein liebes Zuhause zu finden, indem man darauf achtet, dass ich nicht überfordert werde. Dass ich langsam an alles was neu für mich ist herangeführt werde. Meine Geschichte: Ich und meine Geschwister sind in der Residenz von Hundehilfe Motril geboren . Wir sind Weihnachtskinder darum sind wir wahrscheinlich auch so zuckersüss . Unsere liebe Mami Mia hat natürlich auch einen grossen Teil dazu beigetragen. In Mia’s Inserat könnt ihr noch mehr über unsere Geschichte erfahren .

About JOSHY

What life with JOSHY looks like

JOSHY is a small adult podenco dog waiting at Hundehilfe Motril in St. Gallen.

An 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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting JOSHY, answered.

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